There has been so much good new music this past year, so trying to fit everything in one show was impossible!
Jazz, particularly from the UK and Chicago, was outstanding this past year, so that’s well represented here, with the likes of Makaya McCraven, Emanative and Binker & Moses providing particular highlights. As time progresses, we find more and more labels that connect us with new music from further afield, take Morroco’s Maalem Mahmoud Gania and Les Filles De Illighadad from Niger, for instance. On the more electronic front, Hector Plimmer soundtracked much of our year with his excellent debut LP on Albert’s Favourites, while Theo Parrish, Juju & Jordash and Dego & Kaidi continued to lead the way. We could have surely done with another two hours to cover everything we missed, particularly new hip hop and the relentless and consistent output from First Word Records for instance.
