Memory keeper. Mostly music and movies, plus some series and video games. Obscure darkness meets pop culture glow.
This is such a gem of a rap record, it sounds like a real classic. It took me by surprise and I can see this running for my year-end toplists just because of how much I played this within a single week already. Who would have thought Wu-Tang would dominate my scrobbles in 2026.
Soulful hiphop, lounging r&b, quality chill-out electronics. It’s such an understated and elegant album, so good to listen to. Perfect soundtrack to a day when I’m just going about my things and want something to keep me smoothly sailing along.
This has quickly become one of the soundtracks of this year, and by yet another fantastic female artist; this is a women’s year, no question about that.
Alt-pop hiphop with occasional drum and bass for beats. Sounds fresh and different.
It’s so fun. However, I cannot see the sentiment that it’s just too close to those that inspired it. I can’t really tell whether it’s an homage, a parody, or something of its own. Second album doesn’t help there still. Perhaps we’ll see on the third one.
Spoken word British punk.
Triphop but with a surprising amount of glitch and IDM compared to a regular DJ Krush record. I recently saw him play live, which was a huge demo of his technical skills, and that shows on this album, too. It’s a diverse ride from smooth hiphop flows to strong industrial bangers.
Nu jazz sound, chilled, relaxing, smooth. Shape The Future was a huge Nightmares on Wax come-back in my life. This one is not as strong but a fair follow-up.
Broken beat, drum and bass, hiphop, IDM, the common denominator is smoothness and a light heart. Like if it’s drum and bass then it’s liquid, if it’s hiphop then it’s soulful. These 26 minutes contain a whole summer’s many flavors in six tracks. It’s not a consistent record at all, more like a promo sampler for a festival, but there’s fun in all those tracks.
This has been my soulful positive energy music for the past few weeks. It delivers instant Saturday vibe on any day of the week.
This is a single release but made enough plays that it’s worth making a note of. Post-dubstep bass music, reminds me of the collaborations of The Bug and Warrior Queen. And another record building the bridge between Europe and Africa, this one stretching between the UK and Kenya.
