5:5:5: XVII. 2023.
Here we go!
The label hibernated in 2023, but the ever dedicated selectors below were always listening, on high ear alert, and once more share their joy, enthusiasm and passion across 5 choice tracks;
discovered and adored during (but not necessarily from) 2023.
It’s an honour to work on this annual pooled 5:5:5:, big thanks and appreciation to everyone here for their contributions…
In no particular order, dear reader, listener,
sound explorer, aural inquisitor;
we invite you on an annual collected music
adventure, like no other

5:5:5: XIII. 2020.
Well, I’m sure no one needs me to go on about the pains of this year, suffice to say, it’s been a good one for exploring music from a distance.
And so once again, I have the honour of presenting the selections of some properly obsessed music addicts, each here picking 5 particular track highlights, in no particular order, except that they made an indelible mark during 2020 for the selectors below.
