As noted in the previous blog post, the Design Museum’s exhibtion ‘Electronic - from Kraftwerk to The Chemical Brothers’ didn’t open on schedule on April 1st 2020 - but it now is!

It’s had rave (!) reviews in the journals: Guardian 5 star review, MixMag review and more.

I can’t wait to go!

And, as noted below, I’ve had the honour of designing an exclusive and official Synth Evolution poster to accompany it. Synths, drum machines and samplers are of course the driving force of the house, techno, and rave revolutions of the 80s and 90s. And this poster celebrates that with a selection of some of the finest:

Synth Evolution collaboration with The Design Museum!

Good news and bad news…

Good News

Synth Evolution is amazingly proud to announce a collaboration with London’s iconic Design Museum for their upcoming ‘Electronic: From Kraftwerk to The Chemical Brothers’ exhibtion - a celebration of all things electronic music.

As such an exclusive, collaborative poster has been created to accompany the exhbition. See below for a teaser of that!



Bad News

The bad news is that the exhibiton has been postponed due to the current coronavirus lockdown, which is obviously the completely right thing to do, as disappointing as this is. (I was definitely looking forward to visiting the exhibtion apart from anything else!)

Nevertheless, let’s hope the closure is relatively temporary and things can start returing to normal sooner rather than later.

Sneak preview

Here’s roughly what it looks like - you’ll have to wait till the exhbition opens to see the full design and to acquire one!
