The beats continue in our first edition of 2017. Things start with jazz-infused Future Music from Jeff Parker and Yussef Kamaal and then flow into some heavy beats from DJ Swagger, Nathan Fake, and Miagma. Newer releases from Vermont and Prince of Denmark create a hypnotic period of atmospheric vibes, before Fluxion closes with his classic dub-techno talents. There is a lot to explore within – join us for another journey into the ever-expanding universe of Future Music.

In part two of our 2016 retrospective, Joseph presents tracks from some of his favorite albums, EPs, and singles.
“It was a particularly good year for the ears, if nothing else. These picks all resonated with me in various settings: live performances, in headphones while roaming around the city, with friends…and all the other usual places. Unfortunately I could not fit the longer-form tracks into the show. There are a few debuts within, but for me, some of the best pieces came from seasoned artists that are still pushing boundaries and finding new ways to challenge themselves and listeners. This is a rare feat in a world of continuously hyped newcomers that fade away within the disposable listening and “music journalism” culture. Thanks to our listeners who still enjoy a human, rather than an algorithm, presenting a POV. Peace.” – Joseph
