Thanks. Checking Wiki as we speak. Been a bit out of touch with Hip Hop over the last few years, and feeling a renewed interest in 2022.
Never to much waffle
Agree, its a fantastic album.
Not a real obvious standout track for me this year but these are my faves in no particular order.
Seahawks - Beams Of Love
Roy Of The Ravers - Emotinium (Original Demo)
Danilo Braca - Piano Piano (Original Balearic Mix)
Str4ta - Night Flight
Alex Kassian - Strings Of Eden
Jezebell - Jezebellaric
East Coast Love Affair - Chicago
Ron Trent/WARM - What Do The Stars…LP
Vieux Farka Toure & Khruangbin - Ali LP
I discovered most of these on this forum btw
Thank you. This is the most inspiring list of recommendations in years.
Thank you very much for that! I was a Hip-Hop kid growing up but unfortunately I’ve been out the loop for a long time now. Listened to both the Danger Mouse and J Rocc albums from start to finish today and absolutely loved them both
Also had the playlist on shuffle and when Droog came on I legit thought it was Nas
Not sure if you’d know, but when his debut EP dropped in 2014, there were a lot of people convinced it was Nas using a pseudonym - it was a little internet conspiracy theory for a while with people speculating about why he’d done it.
There’s a similarity in tone and cadence (and certain pronunciation), but YOD has got his own style to me.
Glad to hear that people have enjoyed some of the recommends.
Here’s another little pearler from this year that didn’t make my list:
Favourite tracks (in some loose order):
- Panoram - Seabrain (Quiet Village Remix)
- Hubbabubbaklubb - Fjellet (Bjørn Torske Remix)
- Moogy Coast - Keep On
- Terra Utopia - #2
- Naomie Klaus - Walk With Your Romance
This is ace… @ 3:28 smiles all round

That’s mega. What’s the rest of the album like?
It’s brilliant from start to finish…
Here’s a Bandcamp list of 50 ish favourites from the Chill Out Tent crew, a couple of mixes and a Spotify playlist to follow…
Guess that settles it. My kids are getting the privilege of watching me opening self-wrapped packages of records for Christmas while they slurp their lukewarm cups of noodles.
Great chart. Loads I didn’t know.
Nice. Thank you. Plenty of new to me tunes in there. Which based on the ones I do know are bound to be ace.
Yes a beautiful track
Fantastic EP, love Eli.
