As this decade is approaching its end it is time for a little reflection on all the great music we experienced over the course of it. Of course, this is NOT an ultimate and universal Top 100 list. It simply can't be but these are the songs you should definitely give a spin before the decade is over. The first 25 tracks include Frank Ocean, Flying Lotus, David Bowie, Vampire Weekend, Lorde, The Weeknd, FKA Twigs and more.
Now, that X clearly marked the spot. In August 2009 a record arrived that is already considered a modern masterpiece. Only now we realize how much it influenced one generation on multiple levels. Time for a reflective walk down memory lane.
What to listen to once the sun has settled? Our delicate selection includes Cigarettes After Sex, The xx, The National, Depeche Mode, Burial, Trentemøller, Leonard Cohen, The Cure and many more.
While his main band THE XX currently takes a little break, sound mastermind JAMIE XX stays active. The producer will release a new double single – Girl/Sleep Sound – on May 5 via longtime label Young Turks.
