For the final show of 2025, I’m digging through some of my favourite albums and releases from across the year, pulling out deeper cuts and overlooked tracks I’ve been returning to since they came out. As usual we're moving through hip-hop, jazz, soul, R&B and future beats. 

Music taken from 37 albums in total. There were plenty I had to leave out, but these are the ones that really stuck.
