Again another year just skyrocketed by, and I probably went to more live shows this year (without being on a long tour) than ever in my show-going history. I think this was definitely the year for synth for me; also due to the fact that I have been working on an exciting new, yet-to-be-named darkwave project that is set to debut sometime in 2017. There was so much entropy in 2016, from losing dear friends to tragedy and illness, the relative state of political instability back home and abroad… this was a dark year for me and many of my friends. Perhaps a little of that is reflected in this list as well.
