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

Copenhagen based party starter Dj Universe presents a mix of 100% Azymuth: 

"In February 2015 my friends Sean and Anthon booked Azymuth for a show in Copenhagen and somehow I ended up juggling the roles of being the designated driver, camera man and warm up DJ for the concert. I will never forget those days. The group turned the depressing Danish winter into summer at the snap of a finger just with their presence and the concert itself had one of the most diverse audiences I’ve ever experienced in Copenhagen, all coming together under the warm Azymuth groove. 

Narrowing down 40 years of great music down to a 1h 47m mix was a tough process and I know there are some obvious ones missing, nevertheless I tried my best to grasp and represent the versatile soundscape the group has left behind. The mix spans over 4 decades and about 75 BPM, from the shade of the palm tree to the floor in the club, and I hope it can provide just a little of the magic that I felt witnessing the group play live."
