Day 30 and last

Various Artists, ‘All About HER’ (2023)

As is now becoming traditional, we end with an epic (3 hours+ in this case) fundraiser compilation, this one in support of Hollow Earth Radio in Seattle. Featuring a who’s who of the electronic scene from both sides of the pond.

It's Sunday afternoon, it's been a fortnight and it's time for yet another retro UK Top 40 singles chart countdown...this week we go back to the week ending 4 December 1982! How long before you succumb(er)?

櫻坂46 (Sakurazaka46), “Unhappy birthday構文” (2025)

Still lots to catch up on wrt this year’s NIE, so I’ll finish back in the Japan comfortzone with this idol group banger. Thanks to @dxsuperpremium.bsky.social for proposing this challenge

Day 29
Avi C Engel, ‘Mote’ (2025)

Eight gorgeous, atmospheric songs from this Canadian artist released on folk and folk-adjacent UK label, Fenny Compton. There are only 2 of these elegant book-bound CDs left as I type, and a few regular CDs (link: fennycompton.bandcamp.com/album/fc8-mote)

Day 28

سماع [Sama'a] (Audition)
by أحمد [Ahmed]
(2025)
Free jazz quartet who re-imagine the music of Ahmed Abdul-Malik. This is their latest LP, released on Cafe Oto’s in-house OTOROKU label. Four long improvisations that focus on simple elements: an arabic scale or just 3 notes repeated.

Day 28
Dar Disku ft. Asha Puthli, “Baar Baar” (2024)

Bahraini-born, UK-based duo. Persuading Indian disco legend Puthli to sing on this song from their debut LP pays dividends.

Day 27
Mücha, “Skin”/“You Make Me Go Under” (2025)

Just in under the wire today, but it’s a short one: a 12” EP from Amanda Butterworth’s Mücha alias, released on Frequency Domain. Two new tracks, plus remixes by Surgeon and Datasette. Came out in March but I bought my copy last month.

Flaming Tunes, s/t (1985)

Another one? Had to stream this today though, after hearing the wonderful interpretation of songs from the album by Mary Currie & The PGs at Café OTO last night. A record, indeed 2 bands, I was completely ignorant of before. DIY in all the best ways.

808 State, ‘90’ (1989)

Bands couldn’t wait to leave the 80s behind and who could blame ‘em? I guess you’re also staking out a claim to be ‘the future’. Some terrible rapping/singing on the first 2 tracks. C’mon, we just want club bangers. Thankfully, that’s mostly what we get.

Day 27
ano, “骨バキ☆ゆうぐれダイアリー” (2025)

Couldn’t miss ano from the list. Was going to go for a poppier song but no, this is the essence of her. Song title doesn’t translate well from Japanese to EN; literally it’s something like “Spirit-Book☆Evening-Diary”?

Day 26
Minimal Drone GRL and Belial Pilgrim, ‘Movements of a Cloud’ (2022)

Collab between Canadian sound sculptor & US electronic producer. The first two parts remind me of the ambient side of 808 State. But then huge strings take the piece more in the vein of US composers like John Adams

Day 26
The Zawose Queens, “Kusekala Kwanyungu”

Family duo from Tanzania, who sing in Kigogo. Their 2024 album ‘Maisha’ was a beguiling blend of traditional and electronic musics. This ‘live-in-session’ rework of one of its songs is next level, however.

Ecstasy, Passion & Pain, s/t (1974)

Soul/disco sextet led by Barbara Roy who also wrote most of this, their only LP. Got this cheap but crackly copy at Flashback almost exactly a year ago while hunting for VinylSanta goodies. Which reminds me, better get on with this year’s hunt 😬

Laetitia Sadier, “Penser L'Inacceptable”(2024)

Amid the fuss about Stereolab’s comeback LP this year, Lae’s last solo album ‘Rooting For Love’ has gone a bit unnoticed. She played a fantastic set of its songs in London in July, under a pseudonym.

Day 24
Jilk, ‘Fix Your Hearts’ (2025)

“It started with a focus on 60s/70s french pop. Three, four chords. Verses, choruses. The collective's blend of post-rock, glitchy electronica and ambient house pulled and mutated those ideas, forming them into one of their most striking releases yet”
