The end of a year is a popular moment to release a (label) compilation. Sometimes to look back, sometimes to look ahead. Here’s an (incomplete!) overview of some recent compilations presenting hours (and more hours) of listening pleasure.
Hior Chronik’s ‘Out Of The Dust’, Francis M. Gri’s ‘Fall And Flares’, and ‘Unsung Memories’ by Polaroid Notes.
Two duo’s collaborating and improvising: Aidan Baker with Gareth Davis, and James Osland with Finn Kelvin.
Exploring uncharted territories with Matthew Florianz, Max Corbacho and Robert Scott Thompson
Drones to soothe your restless soul: Bass Communion, Orphax and Carl Michael von Hauswolff
Intense improvisations by Aidan Baker/Simon Goff/Thor Harris, and fascinating cellotronics by Ze-Ka
What better way to start a new year with a brand new mix?!?
And a very special one: a collaboration mix with Headphone Commute‘s Mike Lazarev, in which we take five minutes for each turn without knowing the others tracklist. The result: Bipolar!
Closing the year with Miguel Isaza, France Jobin and Pinkcourtesyphone
