And what a year it was, full of ups, downs, highs 'n' lows.&nbsp;And what a struggle it was to compile a list that best shows of our favourites from 2022, so much so in fact, that instead of choosing 20, we decided to tenuously choose 22, as that was the year, smart, eh?The fact remains though, it was an incredible year for music.&nbsp;So here are our favourites (make sure you're buying and supporting where you can):Binker &amp; Moses - Feeding the MachineIn February Binker &amp; Moses let 'Feeding the Machine' into the world via Gearbox Records.
Binker Golding's sax and Moses Boyd's drums&nbsp;meet Max Luthert's synths to
create raw, spiritual jazz that changes temperature and time. 

From baking hot sunsets to bitterly cold nights.cktrl - yieldIt was yet another great year for cktrl, who gave&nbsp;us 'yield,' a timeless, stripped-back EP that pulls baroque and classical into jazz.

cktrl wanted to show that beautiful things can be made from scratch, with raw orchestration and instrumentation as opposed to sampling old records. He did it.Contour - Onwards!Released on vinyl with a lyric and
photography book, Contour's ‘Onwards!' via Touching Bass&nbsp;is a deeply personal project.

Every word feels like it's been carefully picked, and yet its grooves sound like the product of pure instinct.Ebi Soda - Honk If You're SadExploding onto Tru Thoughts with their first release on the label, Ebi Soda's ‘Honk If You're Sad' is as surreal as its artwork.

The band revels in the weird as the
"UK Jazz Outsiders" that they are but always reign it in to create entire narrative arcs on each track.Fatima and Joe Armon-Jones - Tinted ShadesAn unmissable release for avid listeners of Fatima's radio shows and Joe Armon-Jones' infectious, free jazz keys.

‘Tinted Shades' sits in the middle of that Venn diagram, with Fatima's personality and melty vocals so present on the Aquarii Records release.Fly Anakin - Frank'Frank' is one of Hip Hop's most-listed albums of the year. The Lex Records release got attention from little blogs and big fat magazines.

Biographical lyrics over production that samples sounds from his childhood, Fly Anakin put out one of the realest records of the year too.George Riley - Running In WavesRising star George Riley has well and truly risen.

As you'll hear on 'Running In&nbsp;Waves,' the multi-talented Londoner is shining right now.

The record has an ambience for solo listening and up-tempo cuts fit for clubs, sometimes on the same track.Guohan - City of the Moon and SunNottingham-based producer-beatmaker Guohan released his second full project this summer, as 'City of the Moon and Sun' picked up where 'Lost Sound Book' left off.

This record is a little more up-tempo than the previous and like the artwork, this thing is textures on textures.Jadasea -&nbsp;LOOKALIVE!With production that sounds likes walking on crunchy, frosty pavements, and delivery that creates condensation on air, Jadasea’s 'LOOKALIVE!' is another cold addition to the growing discography of one of the UK's most-understated rap artists.Jaydonclover -&nbsp;room service? vol 1&nbsp;Birmingham's jaydonclover says that she makes sad songs. But it's more like healing music. 

There's always something positive
to take away if you really listen.

On 'room service? vol 1,' fire features and dylantheinfamous&nbsp;beats combine on Jaydon's most complete project yet.Jianbo - Yellow PerilLondon artist Jianbo took flight in 2022, with his acclaimed ‘Yellow Peril' EP harnessing his love for his city's Chinese-Vietnamese community to tell stories only he only could have written.

Grime-tinged flows in places and Henry-Wu production credits. Mad.Lord Apex and Cookin' Soul - Off the StrengthIn 2018 Lord Apex&nbsp;told us that he wants to drop over a hundred projects in his lifetime. Now, by 2023&nbsp;we've lost count of how many he's on, but he'll make it. That's for certain.&nbsp;The quality hasn't slipped for a single bar, let alone a project, and 'Off The Strength' with Cookin' Soul is case in point.NAPPYNAPPA - ONDAMICUNDERDACOZMICLYTZOn some tapes, you hear the first song, and you gotta hit the bookmark thingy real quick, so you don't lose it.

That's NAPPYNAPPA's Bad Taste&nbsp;release this year.

Gems that are so unique you just need to capture them and keep checking them, finding new details each time.Northaze - collectALL&amp;SAVE, We're Leaving Dark TimesIn 2019, Leeds' Northaze told us they don't feel slept on cos the supporters they've got are 'die hard'.

'collectALL&amp;SAVE, We're Leaving Dark Times' has the lightsaber sound their listeners already love, and contagious flows that will only help that fanbase grow.Novelist - 4 THA HOMIES (unavailable on Bandcamp)When Novelist dropped '4 THA HOMIES' this year, the UK summer was just sneaking through the clouds.

In the sun, it was an instant hit. That G-funk influence genuinely feels like it was made for Nov and his friends to enjoy, first and foremost.

That integrity is success itself.Ojerime - Bad Influence&nbsp;(unavailable on Bandcamp)‘Bad Influence' by Ojerime is
another exceptional project that
cements this artist's cult-like status in UK music.

We caught Ojerime at a festival this year, and you really realise the impact her music has when crowds of people sing those hazy hooks as one.Sam Gendel - blueblueSam Gendel, an artist with no social media, let’s the music and music alone speak for them. 

Released on Leaving Records, ‘blueblue’ is a minimal jazz/ambient record best served after an anxious day at the office. Pair it with shutting your eyes and lying down on the floor.J Words and Semiratruth - Loading...New Jersey raised J Words has had a ridiculous year. 

Their production found&nbsp;Semiratruth's rhymes to create ‘Loading…’, a self-released tape exclusive to Bandcamp that brings Hip Hop into post-modern, electronic realms.Sofie Royer - HarlequinVia Vienna and LA, Sofie Royer's 'Harlequin' on Stones Throw is a great example of creative freedom blossoming into something beautiful.

Genre-wise this one's hard to plant. Shoots of left-field pop and even some rays of Euro-Disco. Multi-lingual lyrics are used to shed many moods.Scuti - Intoxication EP&nbsp;(unavailable on Bandcamp)The track 'KitKat' on this Scuti Intoxication&nbsp;EP deserves an award of its own.

Skoo's self-assuredness and beat choices are a good match, allowing the artist to sit between the gaps of the UK's segregated rap sounds and make something that genuinely sounds unique. Easier said than done.Wiki and Subjxct 5 - Cold Cuts'Cold Cuts' by Wiki and Subjxct 5 is an ode to the mixtape era, with the latter's adlibs all over this record making it feel like you bought this project from the man himself on a street corner.

As ever with Wiki, the bond with the producer he works with always feels so real.AND FINALLY...&nbsp;OUR WINNER, AS VOTED FOR BY YOU, OUR LISTENERS, VIEWERS AND&nbsp;READERS...The Purist &amp; Sonnyjim - WHITE GIRL WASTEDThe Purist &amp; Sonnyjim collab 'WHITE GIRL WASTED' is a record fitting of each of these artists' ongoing legacies.

A Madlib beat and a DOOM verse add the cherry on top of a cake that was fucking delicious already. 

The Purist tees Sonny up and he never misses. Good luck finding this one in stock...

A selection of our favourite albums, mixtapes, EPs or whatever the hell you want to call 'em, from the year that was 2022.

There's something really beautiful about seeing artists that you've been streaming forever, make the jump onto Bandcamp.Honestly, when Louis Culture and BINA. appeared in our monthly Bandcamp dig, gun fingers aimed towards the roof at Offie Mag HQ. Both have been steadily releasing great music into London's underground world, building a fanbase that we hope decides to back them with bank. By coincidence, BINA. and Culture have collaborated for the first time, too, so there are individual releases and the Kadiata-featuring track&nbsp;Can't Deny It.Elsewhere, so much good Hip Hop. We've kept Wiki and Subjxct 5's&nbsp;Cold Cuts&nbsp;on the list since that shelf life is going to be long. Blah's Bisk is back and brought boys with him, HUNNALOE dropped a whole tape and&nbsp;LORD JAH-MONTE OGBON &amp; TWIT ONE dropped heavy one with&nbsp;Dis Tew Much.&nbsp;On the latter, the flute-sample-heavy and weirdly named&nbsp;Alicia Keys to the Face&nbsp;is a particular highlight.As for jazz, find an hour to shut your eyes and listen to that Sam Gendel project. Minimal but mesmerising, it is. Braxton Cook, a young jazz legend, pairs up with premium producer Keifer for a single which sounds as good as it sounds.All of this, plus a lot more, on Offie Mag Music of the Month.For more on us, check out offlicencemagazine.com.

The pound has dropped and so has a lot of great music.Our latest selection of releases you can buy includes, and I quote, 'NEW WIKI,' as the New York stalwart sounds at his cold best over Subjxct 5 production. The aptly named Cold Cuts&nbsp;will be dropping before the year ends but there's a slice of it to enjoy already.Sticking with the underground Hip Hop, Brighton producer Guami and Croydon rapper Renelle 893 have combined to create&nbsp;Gardening Tools, a sample-heavy mixtape made on both sides of the Thameslink railway line. One of the most versatile rappers in the country, Renelle's ability to combine the hard truths of modern life with whimsical lyrics makes the release&nbsp;agile and well-balanced like Gabriel Martinelli - the Arsenal footballer referenced at some point.Vinyl heads aren't going to want to miss out on&nbsp;the reissues we've picked out, with Albina Music Trust putting Lights Out back on wax. There's also a (not new) poignant inclusion of a jazz great on the listing this month, too. The late Pharaoh Sanders, a spiritual jazz legend who sadly left this world in recent weeks, simply had to make the selection.&nbsp;Love Is Everywhere, a beautiful message and our best attempt to whittle down his legacy into just one song, nestles into our playlist via a live recording from Paris in 1975.There's a lot more in there, but we'll leave you on that. Love is everywhere.

Could We Be More

Banned From The Vic E.P.

If only the cost of living was more like underground music, constantly dropping. Yet again, filling up our Spotify and (more importantly) Buy Music Club playlists has been very easy, with no drought of new music in August. And there are some unmissable bits in here. Like a verse from the late MF DOOM alongside Jay Electronica on Sonnyjim &amp; The Purist's&nbsp;Barz Simpson.&nbsp;Like Henry Wu dropping sassy vocals on the old-school-house-feeling&nbsp;Know Betta.&nbsp;Like a new rough cut from Pretty V, a room-filling banger from Scottish producer Nostalgiac featuring KISH! and some Australian RnB from honey. Fresh off the main stage at We Out Here festival, Kokoroko make the cut with their brand new album&nbsp;Could We Be More&nbsp;- their biggest and most brilliant release yet. And sticking with music you can't help but move to, we dare you to bump that new Nu Genea whilst tidying the house -&nbsp;you'll be dancing with your hoover. ﻿Just don't leave it plugged in for too long, cost of living, innit.

A really good list of music you can buy on Bandcamp this month.
