It’s that time of year. Time to look back and reflect. 2014 has been a great year for our music. So many great albums, top quality music from all areas of the scene.

I can’t believe a year has gone so quickly! This time last year I found it hard to choose my favourites – when I went through my CD wallet today it was harder than ever to pick 5 tunes per month. Sometimes you get 6, 7, 8…. It shows what a good year it’s been for Drum & Bass. I’m very excited for 2015!
