I love the end of the year because of all the lists that get posted all over the place. I love discovering releases that I knew nothing about. The folks over at Headphone Commute have started their mammoth collection of 15 best of lists here.
Over at A Closer Listen they have lists for best field recordings, modern composition, experimental, post rock, overall, etc. and guest lists.
Secret Thirteen has a ton of guest lists where I found a bunch of stuff I'd never heard of.
There is a nice eclectic list over at Textura that is worth checking out.
While cruising these list I came across some excellent electronic music. Some of techno, some idm, some dub. I found enough ambient/dub stuff to make me want to do a new dubby & dreamy mix. So that's what this new mix is, a collection slow beats with a dubby feel with some ambient synth washes to keep things dreamy.
