2019 Mixtape

2019 Mixtape

Geoff Kim’s favourite tracks of the year

Once upon a time, I used to make physical mixtapes to hand out to friends and family on my birthday. In 2019, I don’t really know how to do this. Long gone are the days of ‘CD burning’ and Spotify playlists are just about the only way I know how to share what I deem are the best tracks for the year.

I guess this is the blog format.

As always, these are curated to be listened to in order.
