Trade Secrets is a future synth collective founded by F.J. DeSanto. Initially conceived as a producing/remixing team with John Glenn Kunkel, the auteur behind Los Angeles synth superstars The New Division, the Trade Secrets roster has expanded to include Mike “Ash” Venezia, Charles LaBarbara, Damien Polak, and Peter Riley. United in their desire to make music that is forward-thinking but never retro, their sound reflects the group's wide range of musical influences, spanning from synth pop to cinematic instrumentals and everything in between. 

The New Division is the alias of Los Angeles based electronic musician/producer John Glenn Kunkel. Being one of the most important acts in the new wave electro synth genre, The New Division has released three critically acclaimed albums and four EPs, as well as numerous remixes and productions. Kunkel has found success being featured in high profile publications such as Pitchfork and the Guardian and amassing millions of plays on Spotify. 

Michael Oakley's captivating beats and ethereal synthesisers have given a fresh approach and revival to classic 80's pop.
