This year I’ve not really been hugely current - but here’s three I’ve really like in different ways, and an album plus comp

Loved this slightly post punk track by Zongamin and Valentina Magaletti - a sound of my summer

This pleasing peak time slightly techy wallop - Latrec - Kutika

I really loved this album of Sudanese synth dance music by Jantra - this song a high point, but whole lot brilliant

Album - Pretty Sneaky - Koldd

Reissue comp: Dream Dolphin - Gaia on MFM
