Slow Music Meltdown HER 210503 - Moody Synth

I had the pleasure of talking with William Rauscher of Sound Machine (aka Das Rausch / @nightplane) about my top tracks of 2021 as well as what listening to music meant during the difficult, unusual past year. Check out our conversation here: williamrauscher.substack.com/p/end-of-year-meditations-with-dj-slow

To go along with the podcast, we each put together a list of our favorite music of the year which I pulled from to make this mix:

At the end of 2021 I made a best-of-year mix in collaboration with my old friend William Rauscher for his Sound Machine podcast. I enjoyed the challenge of blending different genres together from a relatively short, pre-defined list of music, so decided to do the same for 2022, this time with just my own favorites from the past year. 

My full list of 2022 standouts, including all the tracks on this mix, can be found and purchased here: buymusic.club/list/dj_slow-2022-best-of
