What’s this? Arabic music? Underground 12”s? A 3” record? July clearly was a breath of fresh air. This list is chock full of amazing gems from this past summer and definitely worth digging into. For once in a very long time this list was hard to finish as I just kept getting sucked into listening […]
June was a month. The past few months have been something of a blur for me. I vaguely remember visiting the office for planning meetings and I think I even did something else. Things have been such a blur recently that I missed most of these releases, even though I probably listened to a bunch […]
To say that Peggy Gou is having a good year is an understatement. Following high-profile features in publications like The New York Times and The Guardian, the 28-year old Berlin-based South Korean producer has been on a whirlwind tour playing some of the biggest clubs and festivals in the world.

The release that stands out to me here the most, other than the undefeatable Tracy […]
2018 was a heck of a year, but it’s over. This month I decided to work some new logic into the Top 50 and remove duplicates for similar titles. This way we can squeeze more interesting new information into the post and not reward labels for making a whole ton of different color variants to […]
I tried to make a post that was just a wall of potatoes but I’m being censored and have to write something real. I will work tirelessly to ensure proper potato posting, peeps. I shall fight tirelessly night and day to make content that truly reaches the potato respecting audiences at the core of my […]
After her passing in mid-August, it should come as no surprise that soul legend Aretha Franklin dominated the top 50 best sellers for that month.
