Synkro is a talented artist hailing from Manchester, UK. Known for his unique blend of ambient and dubstep music, he has captivated audiences worldwide with his mesmerizing soundscapes. Drawing inspiration from artists such as Phaeleh, Submerse, and Clubroot, Synkro has carved out his own distinct style that seamlessly combines deep basslines with ethereal melodies.

With a discography spanning over a decade, Synkro has released on renowned labels like Apollo Records and Exit Records. His tracks have garnered support from industry heavyweights including Om Unit, Sorrow, and Dark Sky. Collaborations with artists like Ital Tek and Martyn further showcase his versatility as a producer.

Whether performing live or DJing at clubs and festivals around the world, Synkro's atmospheric sets never fail to transport listeners to another realm. With releases that evoke emotions and create immersive experiences, it's no wonder why fans eagerly await each new release from this visionary artist.

Synkro returns to Apollo Records with a brand new album Images. Since his last album Changes, released in 2015, Synkro has been exploring more ambient influences and introducing new studio techniques. Images is heavily inspired by the 80s-90s new age/ambient movement and artists such as Andreas Vollenweider, Jon Hassel &amp; Marc Barreca (as well as some Japanese ambient techno influences such as Susumu Yokota &amp; Ken Ishii's early work), most of the music uses a full analogue set up, moving further away from McBride's earlier sample-based work.

Following a long trip to Japan, McBride became "addicted" to vintage synths, and returned to his studio in Derbyshire to write the album. The twelve-track long player still contains his trademark rural soundscapes suspended in a rich seam of hooks and emotive synth arrangements but this time with focus on more weightless, looming melodies that extend throughout the album.

Images distills the pure essence of the Synkro sound, a step in a different direction from some of his more beat led releases and an alternative from his collaborations with Liam Blackburn (as Akkord) or more recently with Arovane. Yet the music is still immediately recognisable and it's an album in the old fashioned sense that is best consumed whole.
