Episode 96 - The one with Benny Smiles

Episode 96, and this week we come at you with a warm chat with Mr big smile himself (not in this pic), Benny Smiles! A sound engineer by day, Benny (AKA Ross Fortune) has put out some fantastic alt synthpop since 2015, but is probably best known for his contribution to the Hotline Miami 2 soundtrack. We talk music critique, not being in the 'synthfam, Benny's Discord and brand new podcast, and pose the question; do your drums have enough solidity? We also play a bunch of brand new submissions including M.K. Khan, CONNÖR, Aesaire, infraDEAD, Lavallette, HASSETT, Rogue VHS, The Synergist, Timecrawler82, as well as some 2019 big hitters from Futurecop! & Parallels, Ollie Wride and Sunglasses Kid, and Hot Minute. Enjoy!
