As we bid farewell to 2024, December was a fitting finale for a year rich in groundbreaking music. This month’s highlights include standout compilations from Oslated, re:st (celebrating ten years), and From a Lost Space, alongside Nathan Kofi’s striking debut album on De Lichting. BODYXVIII offered a meditative experience with Closer, blending lush textures and drones, while R-010 navigated the fascinating space between techno and halftime, bolstered by remixes from ABSIS and Toxido Mask. Love Over Entropy teased his upcoming album with the NLC EP on Sohaso, and Yard One and Tryst delivered the stellar San-lim Yok EP featuring talents like Vovian, Alex Albrecht, Red Pig Flower, and Eli Verveine. Daniel Avery’s sole release this year brought pure drum-and-bass brilliance, while Foreign Material expanded hypnotic techno’s horizons with Vesperal Lights on NORITE.
