It's time for the 2022 Round Up. It was a great year for music... A real cross section of sounds coming through from a faster rebirth of progressive house and the influence of the early 90s artificial intelligence home listening techno sound filtering through... The esoteric sitting alongside the techno and the disco. Basically a year of curation sitting alongside the heads down club sounds... Here's to 2023 and an amazing year for all of you reading this. x.
