This weeks incredible episode we have the legendary Waveshaper on. He was on the top of our list of dream guests when we started the show. We are incredibly honored and humbled he took time with us and navigating a 7 hour time difference. While Tom might be considered part of the second wave of Synthwave acts his presence is widely felt through out the scene. Roughly starting in the genre around 2012 he quickly garnered acclaim for his song writing prowess and use of hardware synths. Please take the time to listen his music and follow him on social media.
