Music of 2022 - Foundation of an era

Each year end I indulge in the guilty pleasure of attending to my Editorial quench by writing in Neo-journalistic fashion. This turn of a new decade is a lateral shift in sound, style and artistry as well. It's comparable to 1920's enthusiasm of artists which opened wonderful artistic journeys and transformed music towards a new era.

You can dig directly into this playlist , obviously full albums.

Here's a short summary of what the Music seemed like to me -

2021

Only Hey What by low could give us the level grounding force to break apart the static conjunctions of sound banality that we faced at the end of a decade- and with that, we’re in the wild now, following our noses.

Sam Gendel made every jazz and blues musician of 2021 feel a bit lazy about themselves. his cruising and swaying panache of electronic production, samples and a hit of impromptu improvisations is nothing less of a (wet)kiss on your neck - Fresh Bread.?

Emotions, although released in Nov 2020 is an anthem for music’s healing capabilities specially for these succulent times.?

Fresia Magdalena teaches you how to move with audacity and humility, a learning of 2021. The persistent use of a fat synth hits you like a dead hammer but the tingling sensation of percussions titivate you.?It's one of those sounds that fills the room.

Futureangelics is a bleaky sneak peak of a dementia filled distopian housing society that we all might start to embrace in 2033.

JID006, continues to be an epoch and indeed Jazz isn’t fuckin dead.?

Spiral by Darkside was a sad spiral downwards. We can conclude thay’ve been barred of all innovation, hence we will not be including it in the list.?

While Dj Seinfeld rightfully leads the electro wolf-pack through and through teasing the emotional glands.?

The sky is bleeding is the kind of seasoned pop we needed from Biig Piig. I've always found her music to give me warmth in cold times, but this time it was a breeze on bare chest.

Rival consoles should have a dedicated mention in glittering fonts for their magic of creating life in electronic music. It is hard to blow life into entirely non-vocal music, but Rival consoles is making music with a new prophetic vision for a new world and that’s exactly why 2021 was the year in the making.?

Menahan Street band can be given many adjectives, but for me its the pure love that they’re transmitting in all directions.?

Musique de niche is one of the most surreal albums that I've ever listened to - imagine a Portside church, full moon and ecstasy.

Akademie fur alte music berlin, managed to make a time machine to enter Mozart's evening parties.

and when Floating points came together with pharaoh sanders and london symphony orchestra, it seemed like they made history but actually they were laying future grounds of a promise-land.?

The disappointing list - Juno by parra for cuva, Vitalic, bonobo fell short.?
