Stream: The NFOP #33 on BCR: Best of Halftime 2014

11 Jul 2014 — Henning Lahmann

Another Friday, another show on Berlin Community Radio, and because it's sort of still the middle of the year, I thought I'd do a little retrospect with select tunes from some of my favourite records of 2014 so far. It's a good year for music I'd say, even if some overarching theme or even merely minor hype seems to be missing. No new Grimes, no Purity Ring, nothing of that sort. Let's see what the following six months will bring. And of course, please bear in mind that this is only a very small, and indeed somewhat arbitrary, section of the vast amount of quality music fed to our blessed ears.
