And here we are. Finding ourselves at this place at this time, where we have been before, and yet, it is always new. Even this mix, although now a tradition, to be published during our Best of the Year lists, celebrating 50 tracks from 50 releases of the last year, seems very familiar, but truly unique. So without further adieu, we present, for your listening pleasure, Mathias Van Eecloo‘s personal selection of his favourite pieces, arranged in a 72-min journey, in a tour guide package with a recommendation of the lands he’s frequent before. And right now, it is like this. We hope that you enjoy this little gift, and wish you a start of a new year. Enjoy!
