I DON’T DO LISTS BUT…pt1

Every year sites, reviewers, podcasts and media, post long lists of the best of this years releases and I find this problematic for many reasons but a major one is they often miss those well under the radar releases concentrating on particular popular genres, artists and labels, as well as creating subjective lists that cause divided opinions.

I’ve always just tried to post as many of the years releases that I’ve come across during December and this year is no different. I will be posting them here, on Twitter and Instagram.

My posts are not exhaustive and omit unwittingly many many releases but given that, without any preferences, rank or order here are the first collection…

A couple of suggestions for tonight’s ambience –

Eclectic Electronic Soundscapes-
“There is no exquisite beauty… without some strangeness in the proportion.”
― Edgar Allan Poe
There is beauty in darkness and walls of sound.

Artists are NWRMNTC, Nina Kardec, Todas las Anteriores, Filmy Ghost, ProtoU, Nada Hasan, Sky High Diamonds, mayHD, Grouper, chra, Daina Dieva, Anastasia Vronski, Lori, 33EMYBW,Tullia Benedicta and Nina Hoppas
