This year has gifted us with releases from musicians and bands I love, like Kim Gordon, Jesus Lizard, The Cure, and other great artists such as Chelsea Wolfe and Kim Deal, who released a solo album and Beth Gibbons also delivered a standout release. I've excluded these from my selection because they already appear pretty much everywhere. In the meantime, I revisited some of the bands I included last year, so I can’t even say these are all the new discoveries I’d love to share.
Every year, I keep a personal playlist that grows whenever I come across a new release I find interesting. In the end, I just wanted to select the tracks that gave me the most emotions, music I felt connected to, songs I played in clubs, and tracks I discovered through independent radio shows. Separately, I’m also preparing a playlist focused on the Irish music scene.
Nowhere Music is a personal journey I share with people. I’m happy that this year, I finally had the chance to grow the team! The Records Club found a new home at The Bow Lane Social Club, right in the heart of the city’s life. We organized a successful charity event to collect medical supplies for Ukraine and Palestine, consolidating collaborations with many artists and Pinocchio Magazine. The nights with the Italian Institute of Culture received an unprecedented response, thanks to the collectors and DJs who brought their records. We welcomed Riccardo to the team, he facilitated the streaming of our events to any platform we requested and also set the dance hall on fire with his vinyl records. Kris has been hosting the meetups. Keith helped with graphics and Paul Deego from the records fairs has always been a solid, reliable foundation of the records nights. We also started a collaboration with GalleryX by setting up thematic selections according to their exhibitions.
2025 is already shaping up to be an explosion of ideas we’re working on! I’ll reveal more soon.
