Just A Blister

Today, Andy’s catching up with Julian a.k.a. Neon Fawkes, Toronto synth wave DJ and co-host of THE STATE OF SYNTH on NIGHTRIDE.FM. Julian talks about social media, moving to bluesky, and his synth wave DJ night at TILT in Toronto. Synth events and concerts have been returning to the city and Julian saw The Midnight open for Chromeo and a bunch of other cool shows! He also discusses the Synth Bangers Fest in Denver before Andy goes on a bizarre tangent about face cream.
