Review of the year 2020

 So, we can take it as read that this year has sucked balls. Big time. A train wreck of massive proportions all thanks to SARS 2 electric boogaloo. So you'll be wanting a round up of the year, where I didn't get to go to many record shops and just downloaded stuff from Youtube and Bandcamp at random.

The good.

Clone 20 years of Creme or

A free download. You know what you're getting here. Smudged up electro, New oldskool house and acid tracks and a few wavy gems. Myriadd, Perseus Traxx and Lake Haze are the stand out tracks here but there is no duff one here. One to put away for special occasions.

A Jazz reworking of Walking in the Air.

Do you want it to sound like cinematic orchestra or something from Ninja Tunes back catalogue some 20 years ago. Well this is my treat to you from the Kristoffer lo and some university jazz ensemble. Magic stuff.

WAP Traxman mixxx.

Despite Cardi B being utter trash, this has been this years monster hit and best appreciated in its original form as fucked up ghetto shit. I can think of no better person to juke this up than Traxman himself.  

Delroy Edwards. Slap Happy.

A cool mix of old school house with a freestyle edge to it. If I have to single out anything that I really love its going to be Rock This Place. Also look out for Wagon Wheels EP if you want more of the same. Both on L.I.E.S. Records.

Benedek Mr Goods.

Fuck it might as well add this on L.I.E.S. as well. In a similar vein but with a more go-go edge to some of these tracks. Driving music is the boss. Also with a boiler room live set so you can appreciate it more. 

Uf0.Viewpoint of Cala Llonga.

Finally this for shoe in of acid track of the year. Only heard this a few days ago and really loved it.


Worst tracks of the year.

Crucially not much. SARS2 kept us out of the office for ages so I wasn't subjected to Kiss FM (a blessing.)  So the only thing I heard was an Irish guy doing grime which was fecking horrible. And Becky Hill murdering Forever Young for Macky D's. Rather subject myself to Ronald Mc Donald's 600 mile long salty French Fry than listen to slow Interactive covers.

anyway back tomorrow for Boxing Day TV Hell.
