As with all my previous ‘Reflection’ year-end mixes, I begin with a collection of albums, EPs, and compilations that resonated with me over the past year. From there, I curate tracks to build the mix—a process that’s as much about omission as inclusion. Inevitably, many of my favorite tracks and albums don’t make the final cut, simply because they don’t fit the flow of the mix or get lost along the way. There are plenty of albums I played on repeat that aren’t included here, but I enjoy this process much more than creating lists. 

As I remind myself each year, this isn’t meant to be a definitive “best-of” list. Instead, it’s a snapshot of some of my favorite music from the year, distilled into one cohesive and listenable format. Compiling these mixes under self-imposed restrictions is my way of revisiting and celebrating the music I’ve loved critically, while sharing it with you in a way that’s both meaningful and accessible. For me, listening back to these mixes is like flipping through an audio photograph, capturing the essence of my year in music and invoking memories from special moments.

I encourage you to use this mix as a jumping-off point—dive into each artist, explore their albums in full, and check out the labels behind the music. You can find a Buy Music Club list linked below to help you dig deeper. If you’re curious about the broader scope of music I’ve supported this year, my Bandcamp collection is always up to date.

ASIP - Reflection on 2024

~ Deep Breakfast 293 by https://soundcloud.com/nightseaproject ~

"We’re excited to present to the Deep Breakfast community a live hybrid set performed in our Northern California studio in December 2024. Starting from a setlist of beloved ambient works, we improvised on our modular synthesizers to create extended transitions between tracks. While a track played, we’d sample it to create loops and textures, slowly building new compositions with these layers and other synthesized elements. We look forward to continuing the investigation of this hybrid style, exploring the spectrum between production, DJing, and improvisation."

1. Ulla - Aware Of Something [Motion Ward]
2. Perila - lym riel [Smalltown Supersound]
3. NUG - Sky [West Mineral Ltd.]
4. The Humble Bee - Wood and Metal, Moss and Rust [Motion Ward]
5. Christopher Bissonnette - Wend [12k]
6. Taylor Deupree - (We Share the) Dust Garden [Nettwerk]
7. Max Richter - Shadow Journal [Deutsche Grammophon]
8. Deepchord - Plankton [Soma Quality Recordings]
9. Jake Muir - Nilas [Concentric Records]
10. Actress - Mellow Checx [Smalltown Supersound]
11. Lamin Fofana - Erosion / Whispers "a laminated shout” [peak oil]
