One of the reasons I organised the best of lists, is to discover some new projects that escaped my radar over the last twelve months. "CrossCountry Loops" is one of them. All that is known about its author Robbie N4HC is that he's based in Manchester and the 4-track EP is a retrospective take on the music he listened to growing up. Released on December 30th by AMDISCS, it's a short and captivating release that builds on the UK's rich music history, encompassing ambient, emotional wave and jungle, all mixed with a dose of fleeting, looped vocals. Fans of Space Afrika, Daan Mol and Burial should dig this.
