Liner notes
2021 flew by me. I don't understand how! Wasn't it just January already?
We got to (kind of) see each other, off and on, this year, but everything
still seemed tentative. A lot of early 2021 felt 'club friendly', with a
compulsion to move some. And then, in all that movement, out of nowhere,
the rest of 2021 disappeared. 2021 felt short, and it felt like it was cut
short. That was reflected, at least, a little bit, in this year's mix.
Here's a disjoint hour of disjoint views of a disjoint year.
Please find below the soundtrack to my 2021.
