There’s little more that can be said about 2020. Essentially everyone very quickly ran out of suitably extreme adjectives, expletives and expressions of astonishment, shock and dismay. The word ‘unprecedented’ was used so regularly that it kind of lost its meaning. We are in uncharted waters so best buckle up and hunker down for the wild ride that is the coming decade.
Fortunately, there is always music. A prevailing climate of incongruity, inconsistency and dissonance prepares people for the unexpected, hence the title of this mix, comprised of selections from some standout releases of 2020 – ‘Covid = Eclectic’. Ambient tracks sit unashamedly alongside minimal techno alongside downbeat and jazz, with spoken word, a pop song or two and a dose of hauntology thrown in for good measure. Hope you enjoy it………….
