So I’m back in New York for a couple of weeks. Everything is nearly the same, and yet all of it’s different. I now notice more of the things that I’ve left behind, not recognizing their heavy significance, the darkness or the emptiness that they carried so loud, during my presence. Even this mix, feels a bit out of place in this space, and it surely makes sense. After all, these tracks have been part of my life outside of this life, and they lack in connection all of the associations that are so often the driver for all the emotions. Mathias Van Eecloo’s careful layering of his favorite 2017 selections culminates in what now is an annual tradition for Headphone Commute. Here are the 50 tracks from 50 releases to summarize last year, once again, and remind you of all the choices, and the moments, and the time. Enjoy!
