With things changing at light speed now it is difficult to make next year’s predictions but suffice it to say: more big things for SBTRKT, The Shining and the Piff Gang are coming, new LP from Cinematic, is the D’Angelo LP ever gonna drop? and of course loads more from Cessa.
Good luck in 2012, we are all going to need it.
