As an Audiophile, good music is one thing, but good sonics is just as important. I not only want my music to induce toe-tapping but it should also be well recorded so it can make all the electronics, speakers or headphones that I constantly obsess over shine. Here’s my list of great music from 2018 that probably wasn’t on most peoples radar, but definitely enhanced the enjoyment of carefully matched hi-fi setups I listened to throughout the year.

1. Code Girl / Mary Halvorson

2. Drogas Wave / Lupe Fiasco

3. Geography / Tom Misch

4. Green / Robohands

5. Live At Van Gelder’s / Ben Paterson

6. LOVEPLAYDANCE – 8 Scenes from the Floor / TOSHIO MATSUURA GROUP

7. Streams of Thought, Vol. 1 / Black Thought

8. Streams of Thought, Vol. 2 / Black Thought

9. THE SHAKEDOWN featuring The 22archestra / Tenderlonious

10. The Midnight Hour / Adrian Younge, Ali Shaheed Muhammad, and The Midnight Hour
