Here we go again, weirdly there's not much in the way of tracks, EP's and singles. As I always say each year, you ask me to list tomorrow and it will be different. So, a huge and very broad spectrum of albums (probably only a tenth of what I purchased this year)......just to reiterate....this is music that I have acquired this year, not necessarily released this year.
I'd like to thank www.innov8radio.com for allowing me my own radio program. I'm pleased to be able to present on a saturday night, but I do feel that I need to keep the show more dance /commercial orientated. Ofcourse it's still "Ring Modulator" though. I am hoping to be able to present a more left-field program in 2018 and if it's not on Innov8radio then it'll be on my Soundclound.
I'd also like to thank Stephen Kin;Aesthetic and the rest of the Kin;Aesthetic GLC crew for inspiring me, influencing me and allowing me to spin.
I've been listening to a hell of a lot more Ambient/Experimental music this year and it's really healthy to see that all music is so accessable in every format. Only the capitalistic unscroupulous labels are charging the earth for HiRes (we don't need them) and we are not likely to see Vinyl becoming any cheaper....am I making a point??
Anyway, as always, I checked a few of my favourite artists/peoples 2017 charts and found some stuff that I'm only just getting into.....
