Ambition

Will You Be?

With its ups and downs, 2021 was another unpredictable year. It’s been another roller coaster, but I’ll leave it up to you whether the ride was a pleasant one. Luckily, the one positive constant was the amount of exciting new music the year delivered. 

Time for the recap of the best albums, EPs & singles of 2021 - cinematic soul from Durand Jones & The Indications, otherworldly arrangements from Mndsgn, a masterpiece from Pharoah Sanders & Floating Points, 90s aesthetics from Space Ghost, a future classic from Nala Sinephro, and much, much more…

As always, I’d like to thank everyone for tuning in every month and sharing the vibes. Wishing you all the best in 2022!

Peace,
Spacewalker
