@synthsofworld bring their anything-goes attitude to this stellar 80 minute mix... I've been keeping super close tabs after stumbling on their GDS.FM residency filled with heavy digs from their own collection (check their YT channel ASAP) and killer under-the-radar guests.. 

Synths of World: "The initial decision in which direction a mix should go is always hard... Different demands collide with each other, like finding the notorious red thread, but without losing the vital diversity.
For this 80-minute contribution, we decided to throw together our latest 90s finds. This may have a restrictive effect on variety, as the focus is on more compressed music. However, to keep it fresh, we worked through different genres, emotions and language regions. In words it can be described roughly as follows: starting with smooth South American & oriental Downtempo // going into uber-cool Ragga vibes // diving deeper into some breaks // ending with mellow House"

from within... Synths of World

We're back with another mix. This one is courtesy of Melbourne's Daniel Pisano (@daniel_pisano), who runs the always fantastic mix series @rhapsodise. Tune in for nearly two hours of street soul and groovy chuggers. We're very happy to have him on board.

Before we all hit it too hard at our Christmas party, we took over the Netil waves for a two hour special with RSN residents Ally, Matt and Rosie (AKA RAM) at the reigns...

No Christmas songs but plenty of music we like and that we hope you will too.
