2019… a playlist

In anticipation of our “best of 2019” lists, here’s a taste of what’s to come. As usual there has been a wealth of great music not released via mainstreaming services, so obviously it pays off to go back and actually check out our post archive. We’ve never been as active as this year, and we’ve never listened to as much new music as this year. We’ve written about 500 posts, most of which have been about new music. So here’s a playlist with 300 tracks from some our favourite albums, singles and EPs of 2019. Dig in!

According to Spotify, my most played artist of 2019 is Hand Habits, and according to last.fm it was Stereolab. But I’m positive it must have been Filmmaker, whose music I’ve been listening to so much this year. It’s definitely been the biggest new name on the scene this year, with at least five releases on labels all over the world, in just one year.
