When I glanced at my calendar a few days ago, I was shocked: Damn, I would be far away from any proper infrastructure, let alone a laptop, this weekend. Impossible to create a classic Weekly5 edition. But I reckoned that „On Repeat“ could use some love.
This, however, brought up yet another challenge, as most songs actually playing on repeat right now have already been featured: Archive’s incredible Look At Us, DIVEBAR YOUTH’s How You Doing?, or REGALIA by Cleopard2000.
Yet, simultaneously, I recently started a focused effort on dusting off the digital shelves of my music collection. An attempt to uncover some gems from the past; a journey to revisit. And all but one track in today’s selection originated from this process.
Frankly, the word „process“ makes it seem quite sophisticated. But the truth is that aside from some parameter configuration in a smart playlist, it’s mainly a shuffle through thousands of songs that I haven’t listened to for at least a year.
