#THROWBACK TRACKS 6/2/2021

February 6, 2021 Feminatronic

The idea of Throwback Tracks is to spotlight electronic music that’s older than last week : D

In all seriousness, some are well known pioneers but many are lesser known artists who might have fallen through the listening crevices, so to speak. It’s always eclectic and hopefully you may come across something that will become part of your listening collection.

I Don’t Do Lists pt5

January 22, 2021 Feminatronic

Last year was a strange year and that is probably an understatement but there were many great releases despite all the difficulties. I usually post throughout December as many as possible however due to the situation I thought I would extend it throughout January and I’ve still only barely scrapped the surface. These 20 have been posted on twitter this month…there may be more : )
