The Copenhagen-based imprint Music For Dreams released a mountain of digital singles and albums this year. Melodic missives from the likes of Ambala, Frede, Nordso & Theill and The Swan & The Lake, some of which we’ve managed to cover. The big physical MFD hits, for us, this year, however, have been Pete Blaker’s dubs of Rheinzand’s Atlantis Atlantis, Troels Hammer’s cinematic set The Old North Trail, and Balearic Mike & Kelvin Andrews’ Down To The Sea And Back Volumen Tres. Here label founder, Kenneth Bager, shares his own massive list of musical highlights from the past 12 months.
Super selections care of Music For Dreams’ Kenneth Bager.
