I’m a sucker for “best of” lists and my playlists are getting stale. Hope this post will kick off a nice thread of new music for all of us to share and discover.
My pick is Mk.gee’s “Two Star & The Dream Police”. One of the best guitar albums I’ve ever heard. This kid gives me hope
Cheers to all of you crazy Elektronauts making one little piece of the internet a nice place to spend some time
probably my fav album form this year (they keep changing it, I’ve never heard this version of 7. I guess you gotta use Spotify to listen to all of it.)

And obviously all the Autechre live stuff…
I liked Elkka, Jamie XX Tourist.
For me, it was Kiasmos album. I said it a few more times that this album has been looping for a looooong time now. When I got my SoundCloud 2024 summary, I wasn’t surprised. Every single track is perfect not just musically but also technically. I listen to it as a lecture over and over again, study what’s going on.
I can’t link playlists here but you can follow from here:
This is a great shout. Enjoyed this one.
Blood Incantion—Absolute Elsewhere
This is my favorite album in a long, long time. Not to be missed!
Im also a sucker for best of lists. My favourite is Yellowgreenreds that usually drops around christmas.
Some nice ones:
Yung Lean-Psykos
Moin-You never end
Whitelands-Nightbound eyes are blind…
AssemblerCode/JensenInterceptor-NRGLVS
Workers Comp-s/t
Loscil-Umbel
Craven Faults-Bounds
Simon Joyner-Coyote butterfly
Cs + Kreme-The butterfly drinks….
Ducks Ltd-Harm’s way

SHXCXCHCXSH-………t
If you’re a sucker for late 90’s electronica think Chemical Brothers, Underworld, Massive Attack and Wipeout 2097… You’ll probably dig this EP as much as I did! From what I’ve read there was some Digitone used on this EP too along with the usual suspects… Juno 106, MS-20, SH-101, Octave Cat…

Romance - Fontaines DC
You Won’t Go Before You’re Supposed To - Knocked Loose
Hex Dealer - Lip Critic
empathogen - WILLOW
If I had to pick one….I think it would have to be Knocked Loose. It’s one of the most refreshing and invigorating metal albums I’ve heard for a long time and FUCK ME does it go HEAVY!
Props to WILLOW for the album I sort of wanted to hate (I do NOT like Will Smith and it’s hard to ignore the nepo) but it’s an incredible album backed by super-tight performances from the band (she has Mohini Dey as her bass player for fucks sake!)
And props to Big Special for a deeply soulful and beautiful punk album, saturated in English Midlands anxiety and post-industrial ferocity. So fucking good!
definitely Prana — Sense Of Unity
their previous album was released in 1997, and the new one is still good old goa trance.
it does not even sound overproduced (i don’t like new school goa much because it typically does).
Beth Gibbons - Lives outgrown
As I get older, I find that I’m terrible when it comes to keeping up with the latest music. Most of the newer stuff I’m listening to now on repeat is from 2023. So it probably won’t be until next year until I find my favorties for 2024 (though I’m confident the new Mogwai album will be an early favorite for 2025).
I like to think of these as favorites more than “best of”, so maybe I’m cheating a little. This is what i’m listening most right now:
Kiasmos II
Jay Hosking - It may take longer than you think (Come back may be my favorite song of 2024)
Julie Byrne - The Greater Wings
Besides that I spend most of my time listening to old Cloudkicker.
If I had to pick my favorite, it would be Kiasmos II. It’s a pleasure to listen to from beginning to end.
And Also The Trees - Mother-of-pearl moon
The pacing on this album is a thing to marvel at.
Hey, it’s the guy from the amazing Dijon video!
Cool, thanks for this ref!
My own fav was Mount Kimbie - The Sunset Violent
Best Ilian Tape: Struction - Basis [ITX033]
Favorite minimal techno: Rrose - Dermatology
Best IDM: Serge Geyzel - It’s Cancelled
Favorite ambient album: Benoit Pioulard - Collected EPs [2015-2023]
Seil Records output was great as well: lots of albums for 2024…
Always a pleasure to have such sound while working!
Favorite Elektronauts album No Masters - Existential Thread
Special price for this very special piece of music: best album cover and soulful soundtrack:
Rob Moloney - Lonesome Sway
So much great music this year! 
These 5 were probably my favorites:
