Various Artists ~ Sounds of Absence
In the coming years, sonologists will continue to be grateful for the work of field recording artists during the pandemic. Guided by curiosity, working for the most part without pay, such artists captured aural time capsules: innumerable hours of raw

Gabelicious Thee Most Delicious Mix Fart Un [mix]
This mix was selected by Gabe Bogart, old friend and colleague from the site before this one, occasional contributor to ACL. Back in 2013, I asked him for some hip hop producer recommendations, and we put together these beat-centric mixes.
