Alistair may have covid, but it seems he’s still willing to fight.

    Guess we can add mental impairment to the docket of COVID symptoms for our man Alistair.

      Delighted that my sarcasm was so heavily disguised. Bush were woeful

      Year-mix for 2020. Not a year people will probably be eager to look back on, but at least the music was great. Once again Innervisions and Kompakt dominated as the labels to release the biggest tracks of the year for me. Every year I think they’ve lost it, but no, still plenty of amazing music released by them.

        1. Soma Soul feat. Simon Batten - Hurt (Luca Bacchetti ‘Endless’ Remix) [Endless]

        One of the tracks of the year for sure.

        Fitting ending with Agoria 3 letters. TUNE!

        Nice one Hannu.

        Chris Cargo and Yør Kultura tracks sounded great (not heard before)!

        Looked through that and a few of them made me think ‘wtf is that’ or ‘how did i miss that’, only to give them a listen, realise I have them, and then realise I don’t know the names of anything I buy anymore. I have no desire to go back to vinyl, but I defo miss the physical media and artwork.

          I don’t think we have a similar sound that much, but try to spot the two tunes on this mix that were stolen from Unbroken’s mixes (might’ve been the same mix actually).

            Along_the_Wire think Matinada will make it onto most people’s end of year mixes (did mine). Been one of the most popular tracks all year from what I’ve heard. Great track!

                I know he’s not everybody’s cup of tea (who is?) but Kolsch’s latest album has been on constant rotation for me this year. Has been a pick me up at times. There are at least six crackers on it and he has taken his sound to a whole new level as a producer. Many tracks from it have found themselves on mixes this year

                Homegrove Desire - Don’t Call (Guy Gerber Remix) [Rumors]

                That was defo on 1 of Damo’s mixes.

                  Yeah, stole that from Damo’s mix.

                    Have listened to the first 2 hours whilst out walking this afternoon and so far this has been superb. Still love that Baril tune, the whole EP was decent.

                    great work Homegrove, am looking forward to the last hour

                    …some large ones on there H! Shall give this a blast this week.

                    Great year for Clavis, absolutely love ‘Matinada’, altho ‘Art of Duplicity’ would pip it for me, future classic IMO… I’d put the Laolu mix of Sophie Hunger in the same category.

                    Yeah, I don’t really do other than big tracks. 😂

                    Listened to it in one session, a rare occurrence for me these days. Really felt like a greatest hits, in a good way.

                    Will be taking January off doing mixes, I trust you can all cope with this.

                      Thats a nice mix to end the year mate. Thanks!
