A year has passed with plenty of new releases around the sonic hemispheres. Spinning around the globe, we make a pitstop for what was best or most appreciated in the main music genres.

“2022 signifies a return to a semblance of normality. Some people flocked to festivals and concerts to celebrate their illusion of freedom. Others had to defend their freedom with rifles, drones and missiles. Most of the world gave Russia the middle finger, proving that Punk is still very much alive and kicking. So do good, live your life, support your heroes by buying music, take no bullshit and enjoy this rockin’ retrospective of 2022.” Alex Mistrețu
