Whilst our Tracks of 2015 lists documented our favourite new music from this year that we believe will stand the test of time (neatly grouped into Electronic, Remixes, Hip-hop/R&B/Soul, Best of the Rest), 2015 also brought a lot of reissued old sounds to our attention that have longevity embedded deep in their DNA.
1973 West African folk, 1979 R&B made in five hours in a Virginia federal prison, 1983 South African boogie, 1960’s Tunisian soul and 1980’s Japanese electronica all appear in our run down which you can digest all in one go as a Mixcloud mix below, going for a sonic progression rather than an arbitrary order of preference. Grab the full tracklist inside the player and also listen to as many we could find on a Soundcloud playlist too.
