Dead Synthy

First premiered during their Anjunadeep Miami b2b set in 2024, 'Dead Synthy' marks the first collaboration between progressive house legends Sasha and Marsh.

This track is a quintessential slice of progressive house magic. Its calm, inviting atmosphere feels like a journey through little fluffy clouds, weaving in touches of electro and ethereal, angelic vocals. With golden-age vibes that nod to the roots of the genre, 'Dead Synthy' is as timeless as it is fresh.

Reflecting on the collaboration, Marsh shares:

“It all came together the week before my set with Sasha in Miami. He called me with the idea of creating something special for our performance and sent over an early draft called 'Dead Synthy.' I was immediately drawn to its atmosphere, chords, vocals, and arpeggios. I got to work, adding the main riff, bassline, and drums, and soon we had a first version ready to test.

Sasha told me my riff reminded him of Jam & Spoon—specifically their track 'Stella.' I’ll admit, I hadn’t heard of them at the time (shameful, I know), but thankfully, it wasn’t a dealbreaker! After sending the stems back to Sasha, he beefed up the mix and refined the idea. The final version came together beautifully, especially with those wild breaks in the breakdown. The processing is insane and adds a unique edge to the journey. Oh, and the name? Sometimes a placeholder title just sticks—and honestly, 'Dead Synthy' feels like a perfect fit.”

For Marsh, 2024 was a landmark year. He delivered a steady stream of standout releases and maintained a packed global tour schedule, which included the launch of his ARIA hybrid showcase. This showcase saw him sell out London’s Outernet and close Red Rocks under a blizzard. Marsh starts 2025 on a high note, bringing his signature All Night Long show to Fabric for the second year in a row on February 7th.

As for Sasha, his legacy as one of the world’s most celebrated DJs continues to evolve. Known for blending house, techno, and trance into his sets, he’s also made waves beyond the club scene. His score for the Da Vinci interactive exhibition, which premiered in Berlin in 2022, won multiple awards, including Best Immersive Experience (Art Directors Club, 2022) and Best Experimental Design (Creative Pool Awards, 2022).

Together, Sasha and Marsh have created something truly special with 'Dead Synthy'— a track that’s sure to resonate far beyond the dancefloor.
