2025 in music Here’s my 22nd annual roundup: sixty short reviews across five categories, plus shows, stats and playlists. It gets more ridiculous every year, but I do it to myself, I do.

Here’s my 22nd annual music roundup — bigger and more ridiculously obsessive than ever. colly.com/journal/twen...

Woooooo! Congrats! 🥳

Cheers Nick, I’m very happy you enjoyed the show! Do please keep me updated on your new releases as I’ve thoroughly enjoyed A Soul To Borrow.

Thank you to @xylander.bsky.social for highlighting my track 'Take It In' on the excellent Forgotton Futures show. Some great music included on this list from the likes of @socool.bsky.social , @veryanmusic.bsky.social & @onidyl.bsky.social

Yeah but you’re much more likely to become CEO than rest of us. 😄

We've had a great 2025, to say thank you, these 4 are free or pay what you want as a thank you for all the support we've had. We may even leave the house in 2026!

I played a couple of tracks from this on my latest podcast and can heartily recommend the compilation. If you like Christmas and ambient music it should be right up your street.

Just the right time for whiskey here in the UK I think. I’m hoping to make it along for at least some of the listen through and I may have one in hand. 🥃🎄🌜

It’s my absolute pleasure Emily, and thank *you* for your continued support. 😊

Really recommend pressing play on this radio show by @xylander.bsky.social of @audiointerface.bsky.social. Very excited to see one of mine included alongside music by great artists including @veryanmusic.bsky.social, @wilksmusic.bsky.social & @onidyl.bsky.social.

Thanks again & always, Xylander!

My pleasure! I really enjoyed playing both tracks.

The Ambient Hour Sixty minutes of relaxing music to unwind, de-stress or just sleep to

My final #Ambient Hour podcast for 2025 has just released. Beautiful, introspective music from start to finish with a featured release by @audioobscura.bsky.social and new music from @daveclarkson.bsky.social

Listen wherever you get your podcasts or at www.audiointerface.org/shows/the-am...

I think it’s an amazing thing to be able to write personally and put it out into the world. Seems like it’d be much scarier than sharing instrumental music. Have you always written poetry?

Includes the track 'Mahogany and Ice (Into the Darkness' Mark SaFranko and myself - acoustic guitar loops and my poetry combined

My pleasure Andy, it’s a great track! I love your poetry.

Forgotten Futures The best in unsigned and independent electronic music
