Good music is everywhere, and sometimes it is hard to keep up with every week's releases. So, we took a step forward and hand-picked a selection of 5 albums we recommend you to listen to over the weekend.

Good music is everywhere, and sometimes it is hard to keep up with every week's releases. So, we took a step forward and hand-picked a selection of 5 albums we recommend you to listen to over the weekend. Every Friday we will have a new selection ready to be played on your speakers.

We start the new year with a fresh selection from the crates of Bucharest based records shop  Two Sides Records. This time we take a walk through jazz and electronic as we keep an eye on the ever soulful hip-hop. We have selected artists such as Planet Batagon, Shafiq Husayn, Da'asa, Abu Obaida Hassan, Gabriele Poso, Jeff Parker, and others.

As a dubhead, 2020 is probably my favorite year for dub music. This indoor year meant more creation, with so few live music shows and too much streaming. The industry “suffered” from artists and producers focusing on releasing new music and experimenting and, we, the fans, had the luck to be caught in the pouring waterfall of sounds and Bandcamp Fridays.

When Codin asked me if I’d like to sketch a list of my favorite music albums of 2020, at first, I was afraid, I was petrified. I was thinking I would rather skip this since I haven’t been in a full listening mood lately and also believing that there weren’t enough releases to choose from, and so on. 

As 2020 writes itself off and leaves trails of a brave new world behind, I believe its musical output is worth taking a look at from a contextual standpoint rather than the usual year-in-review write-up.

December digging in the crates of Bucharest based records shop  Two Sides Records is bringing a selection of hip-hop, jazz, and ambient from artists such as Makaya McCraven, Esperanza Spalding, Fazer, Moscoman, The Mystery Kindaichi Band, Tenesha The Wordsmith, Idris Ackamoor & The Pyramids, Inoyama Land, and Pale Cocoon.

Our monthly digging through the crates of Two Side Records store in Bucharest, brought our attention to some Japanese records. Seven out of ten records are based on this music. From city pop to jazz and electro, our findings brings out some amazing jams from the far island.

We are happy to announce our partnership with the Bucharest record shop, Two Side Records. Every month, we will recommend ten releases from the record shelves. From jazz and funk to world music, and from reggae to electronic, each selection will be divided into two parts.
