This isn’t a competition. It’s a collaboration.
Since the year in question is 2014, and since 20X14 = 280, this yearly summary playlist consists of 280 nice tunes released in the year 2014. From 280 different artists. Reshuffled on the regular for repeat shuffles. You can’t argue with that math.
"Boxing, the training part, not necessarily the fighting part, I don't know anything about the fighting part, is incredibly profound. A wonderful surprise for the nervous system!"
“A charmingly dark slice of post-ambient pop. Pat Moon strikes a chord with your soul from the first tracks; "Feel You", "Show Me A Sign", and final song, "Enter My Mind" being the strongest songs. This record takes me to a dreamy little island on a crisp morning as the sun is about to rise.”
The Soundcloud playlist for this month’s approved Submithub submissions is now up & running for January 2019.
“The internal dialogue of a drunk Leonard Cohen album, restless and pacing around the basement in the early hours of the morning, unable to shake that moment from earlier in the night when a friend lit a cigarette & said, “You don’t have to always be so intense, dude. Take a chill pill.”
“This record makes room for both catchy jams and sound experiments, in perfect harmony.”
“I feel so much more settled and clear-headed when I start the day off meditating. I’m very aware of how old I sound when I write this."
“If you are a fan of dirty and raw punk n‘ roll, the stuff that sounds like it has just been freshly scraped off the floor of a garage, you'd be hard pressed to find a better album from 2012 than this one.”
This guest mix (and accompanying words) came via Lauren Rearick from The Grey Estates (everybody’s favourite purple powered music blog) near the end of 2017.
“Running off with big bags of nostrum groceries, I accept the bitter handmade medicine, sweetened by the most interesting mixes I've ever heard, diligently laboring to peel every layer of each rich soundscape's tapestry.”
"Start asking interesting questions to your colleagues (and to make it even more fun you can demand that they answer immediately without thinking)"
