Hey all! If you're wanting some radio time today, check out an extended AbSynth AlgoRhythm!

Two of my colleagues asked me to fill in before and after my show, so it's going to be a DJ Dynamo megamix! 🥳

Tune in to WRUW FM 91.1 between 6 and 9 this evening, or go to WRUW.org to listen online.

I just agreed to do this, so I don't have a lot of time to plan, which should make it interesting! I might even play some non-synth music! 😯

Catch you then! 🎉🔥
