My Favorite Releases of 2020
2020 was a dumpster fire, but these releases got me through it all.

The Hornet’s Nest – Sunday GLR/LGR Sermon
Since isolation started back in March, I’ve become quite the Twitch consumer and it’s, honestly, one of the best things about this time. I initially dismissed it as people watching other people play videogames, but since DJs and producers have co-opted the platform to share streams it’s now my daily go-to entertainment. Every week, like […]
Trace – Raise EP – CNVX
DJ Trace, alongside Kid Drama & Survey, drops a killer EP on CNVX
DRS x Redeyes – Coloured EP
Powerful EP from @mcdrs and Redeyes – Coloured on Space Cadet
Wreckless – Honesty/The Morning – Dispatch
You can add this new release from Wreckless, Honesty / The Morning, on Dispatch Recordings to the ever growing list of new music I’ve purchased in the last few months. From the moment Honesty drops it is an absolute soul wrecker; growling bass, big stabs, and a relentless drum. I think I’m in love. This […]

5 Quick Questions with Break and Kyo
Break and Kyo, the two minds behind Symmetry Recordings, were kind enough to answer some of my questions ahead of their latest release SYMM031 – The Edge Of Time / City Slickers (Workforce/Skeptical Remixes). As an aside…this might be a first in Symmetry Recordings’ discography; a release of just remixes. If that’s true, then there […]
Arvee – Lockdown X Garage Mix
This is a fun little mix to listen to while we’re all stuck in self-quarantine. Everyone could use a little more groove in their life, especially now. About the only downside is that it’s only 20 minutes long. Oh well, we take what we can get…
