Yearly best of mix for Headphone Commute:

I’ve been praising Mike Jedlicka‘s end of year selection for nearly six years now, when, with a slight hand of a magician and a skilled curator, he presents his favorite vinyl-only mix. The tracklisting alone shows Jedlicka’s vast knowledge in today’s moving genres, and greatly summarize some of my own thoughts on the music in 2017. It’s a somber year-end – not in a bad way, but more in an acceptance of how things truly are. Because they are the only way that they can be right now.
