People. Events. Dancing. It all came back in 2022, and supplied the soundtrack of our lives with a fresh burst of dancefloor inspiration. Some fantastic albums came out this year and seemed to revive the long player as a serious artform, supplying us with hits from Fred Again, a reunited Swedish House Mafia, and Kendrick Lamar. This made it both easy and hard to put together this year's Best of 2022 Mix – a bounty of tunes to choose from, but hard choices of what to include in just 60 minutes. Those that made the cut this year include ODESZA, Sam Smith, Sia, Tove Lo, Peking Duk, Diplo, and even Kate Bush courtesy of a Stranger Things revival. But the final message in this mix has to go to Maxi Jazz from Faithless who passed away just days ago and provided a voice to an entire generation of warehouse club goers.
