Best Music of 2020 - Part 2 Club
There was some good music in 2020, so I’ve put together my list of ~40 albums. This is the ‘Club’ section - from full on disco to some proper techno.
Click here or scroll down for the Spotify playlist of the lot!
Romare - Home - Gone
Beatrice Dillon - Workaround - Square Fifths
Kelly Lee Owens - Inner Song - Melt!
Three fantastic albums from very different UK producers. All of these work as long-play albums in their own right.Jupiter Jax - No Such Thing - Moods No Grooves
Shinichi Atobe - Yes - Yes
I don’t know very much about either of these, but both albums are great fun.Horse Meat Disco - Jump Into The Light - Jump Into The Light - Aeroplane Remix
This album’s been a long time coming. Joyous stuff.Georgia - Seeking Thrills - Tuff City Kids Remix (Edit)
Actually found the album a little disappointing but this single is big, and the remix even bigger.Ellen Allien - Auraa - True Romantics
Damian Lazarus - Flourish - Into The Sun
Now we’re talking. Some of my favourite techno from this year.Faithless - All Blessed - Synthesizer (feat. Nathan Ball)
New Faithless! No idea how this manages to be both totally cheesy and thrilling. Had the album on repeat for a week.Luke Vibert - Luke Vibert presents Amen Andrews - Bad Boy Acid
Vibert dropped 3 monster releases back to back, covering breaks, rave and rave-hop. It’s all great.

Best Music of 2020 - Part 1 Songs
Thanks, COVID. There was some good music in 2020, so I’ve put together my list of ~40 albums. This is the ‘Songs’ section - a mixed bag of genre but all recognisably songs.
Click here or scroll down for the Spotify playlist of the lot!
Hot Chip - Late Night Tales: Hot Chip - Nothing’s Changed
Late Night Tales is a decent mix album, with a couple of new tracks.Owen Pallett - Island - Paragon Of Order
An early lockdown favourite. The whole album’s beautiful.Bill Callahan - Gold Record - Let’s Move To The Country
Never really been that much into Bill Callahan. This was clearly a mistake. Must go and listen to more.Destroyer - Have We Met - Crimson Tide
A favourite from the pre-Covid months. Fantastic album.The Mountain Goats - Getting Into Knives - As Many Candles As Possible
Two mountain goats albums in one year!Nadine Shah - Kitchen Sink - Ladies for Babies (Goats for Love)
Only picked this up in the last few weeks. How did I miss this? Great fun.Mark Lanegan - Straight Songs Of Sorrow - Ketamine
I’d listen to Mark Lanegan reading the news. Everything he does is great.Porridge Radio - Every Bad - Sweet
The Lovely Eggs - I Am Moron - This Decision
Its the Lovely Eggs. Great album. Gutted not to have seen it live. Fingers crossed for next year.Hey Colossus - Dances / Curses - Dreamer Is Lying In State
Missed this one. Only picked it up from The Quietus’ year end list. Wall of noise.The Orielles - Disco Volador - Space Samba (Disco Volador Theme)
The album is great fun from stasrt to finish.Róisín Murphy - Róisín Machine - Jealousy
Big album. All the remixes I’ve heard from it have been great too.Santrofi - Alewa - Kwabena amoah
No idea where I came across this one but I’ve listened to it pretty regularly for about 6 months now.Keleketla! - Keleketla! - International Love Affair
You will be singing this for days.Aesop Rock - Spirit World Field Guide - Button Masher
New Aesop Rock is always a good thing. Album goes in hard.Jeffrey Lewis - Keep It Chill in the East Vill
It’s not really from an album, but its too much fun to not include.

Jasmine
When at home for lockdown holiday… drink cocktails?
This one’s new to me. A Jasmine. Gin, triple-sec, campari and lemon juice. It’s good.

A simple test post
This is a simple test post. It doesn’t really say a lot.
But that’s ok. We all have to start somewhere, right?
