Afro Discoteca - Alessandro Alessandroni
A very interesting take on disco from a colleague and confidante of the famous Ennio Morricone.

Another Green World - Brian Eno
Combining pioneering soundscapes and catchy melodies, Another Green World sits uniquely between the overly abstract sounds of early experimentalists and classic 70's Rock.
Back from the brink - Kourosh
Where to even start. This surprise cult hit takes you to a time and place you never knew. Don't understand a thing, love every second of it.

Catch a Bird - Marbert Rocel
Lush vibes and intriguing lyrics, you never knew German could sound this nice

Comfort Eagle - Cake
A fresh and sardonic take on modern American culture and it's obsession with consumerism. Cake makes prophetic music sound simple is this easy go-lucky album.
DJ-KiCKS: Wolf + Lamb vs Soul Clap - Various Artists
Cruising through the Brooklyn Burroughs, looking out for the night lights that give away the culprits of New York clubbing. Turn it to 11.
Die Liebe kommt - Nylon
If you like Berlin, then you will love this album. It's a lot less known than it should be, but get ready to get flashbacks to your favourite breakfast in Berlin.
Dun Smeren Geld Verdienen - Goldband
Een parel van een een plaat. Zeker de moeite waard om aan te schaffen op Bandcamp of gewoon te vlammen op het strand in Scheveningen.

Independent Dancer - Kalabrese
Truly one of my favorites. Though initially easily mistaken for a run of the mill EDM album, this unique piece of music combines surprise and sincerity in a way you rarely find in electronic music.

Loop-Finding-Jazz-Records - Jan Jelinek
Laid back past the point of no return, this is maybe the penultimate coding music. Just enough to keep you going well into the single digits, not to much to distract you from the coffee and code.

Mike Bloomfield - Super Session
You better believe it, there's something a crackin' in the crop circle. Jokes aside, this one really strikes you right on a long night with the rain streaming down the windows and a hot cup of coffee.
Moodymann - Moodymann
The seminal album from this great artist. Moodymann bridges together a sense of musicality and style that keeps on surprising.

Prins Thomas – Live At Robert Johnson
Seamlessly merges disco, through funk, to reggae, steal drum and 80's Bauhaus stuff. Bizarrely enough you can't find this on any of the streaming services. This album is worth pulling open your old torrent site. It's amazing.
Return to the 37th chamber - El Michels Affair
An epic take on the infamous Wu-Tang album. Even though it is heresy to say so, I find myself some how liking this is even more than the original.

Self Discovery for Social Survival - Allah Las
Surf's up! The sixties groove into the 21st century with the mellow rhythms of Allah Las.
Silent Movie - Quiet Village
Serene and relaxing. Epic and exciting. This album whisks you away to a tropical island situated somewhere between a Bond movie and a Les Baxter concert.
The Olympians
Smooth summery vibes entwined with some ska, this album is a great way to relax into a long weekend.
The Raw & The Cooked - Fine Young Cannibals
Born in the eighties, growing up in the nineties. This album featured as a great soundtrack.

Transcendence - Alice Coltrane
An amazing album by Alice Coltrane. If you are into the Beatles' Indian adventures, then you will love this.

Rezi
This mix combines my photography with the tracks I felt connected well to the rough and rugged feeling you find everywhere in Rotterdam.
