i listened to a lot of music this year, but haven't bought much (techno).
Listening was either via mixes on soundcloud (a lot of Steven Julien/Apron,
Carlos Souffront and Traxx) and via Spotify and bandcamp. maybe because of the
fact that most of the listening was at home behind a computer, i listened to
more downtempo/soul stuff this year.
records i liked a lot in 2020:
cim - series two [delsin] very much in the same vein as his old
counterattack/unspecified enemies (with louis digital) stuff
jay daniel - ssd [watusi high]
stallone the reducer - ruthless people [unknown precept] would love to have
this on vinyl
cleo sol - rose in the dark lp [forever living originals]
sault - unitled (black is.. & rise) lp's [forever living originals] i like
their first 2 albums ('5' & '7') even more but those came out in 2019
thundercat - it is what it is lp [brainfeeder]
allysha joy - light it again [first word]
and not from 2020 but also listened to a lot:
little simz - grey area lp [forever living originals]
lizzy mercier descloux - mambo nassau lp [light in the attic]
the durutti column - the return of the durutti column lp [factory]
tiombe lockhart - the aquarius years lp [mother tongue]
hiatus kaiyote - choose your weapons lp [flying buddha]
