Label mates of the fabulous Nina, please say hello to Friday Night Firefight. New tune ‘Time Zones’ is a bit Owl City meets The 1975 with some bubbly synthwork too. Promising stuff.

Mexico’s finest retrowaver is back with a delicious and dreamy new tune – say hello to ‘Dial Up’. The synths have a vaguely exotic feel to them and ‘Dial Up’ will be a welcome addition to our sun lounger playlist for holiday season in 2020.
Ora The Molecule have been exploring all sorts of sounds and styles across their releases over the past year or so. That experimentation continues in the form of an entirely unexpected disco cover of Ini Kamoze’s ‘Here Comes The Hotstepper’ – it’s ridiculously good fun. Get down.
Loving the synthtastic festive single from Now, Now. ‘Lonely Christmas’ has hints of Muna but with the sax and guitar solos at the end it also recalls The Midnight. It’s quite lovely.
From the first few icy synth sounds we knew we were going to enjoy the latest single from Kids At Midnight. ‘Can I Come Home’ is emotronica of the highest order – like Cyndi Lauper taking on the ‘Drive’ soundtrack.
Madonna’s ‘Madame X’ placed third on our albums of the year run down we published at the weekend. So excited for the live show at the London Palladium next month – we just know it’s going to be an incredible night of theatre. Folks have not been paying enough attention to the dazzling remix sets M has been putting out for this record. Just last week the Honey Dijon remixes of ‘I Don’t Search I Find’ arrived and boy are they good. The one we include you for here could have come from the ‘Deeper And Deeper’ era – loving the 90s house feel.
Yep it’s that time again. We have been putting this together for a few weeks now and the final order changed yet again at the last minute (although the top two was locked down some time ago). It’s always a challenge to pick 50 and there are some great albums which just missed out. However, here’s our list for everyone to love, hate, pick apart, marvel at etc. There’s a Spotify playlist too with our favourite track from each of the records. Here’s to more great albums in 2020. Best non-LP tracks of 2019 coming soon.
