the best of 2014, including ADDISON GROOVE, APHEX TWIN, CARIBOU, D’ANGELO, FLYING LOTUS, TAYLOR MCFERRIN, MOODYMANN, BEN FROST, TEEBS, TODD TERJE + more, are featured on this special double episode (with all 4 selectors contributing). it was a year of loss–RIP FRANKIE KNUCKLES, MARK BELL, DJ RASHAD + SPACEAPE–and a year of creative renewal. house, hip hop, grime + acid found new popularity and forms. ambience and drone, both beautiful and menacing, worked its way into the bones of dance genres expected and unexpected. many of ABSTRACT SCIENCE’s all-time favorite artists released new albums and eps which did not disappoint. unlooked for, two prodigal sons returned with surprise albums, as saviors to prove electronic and pop music could still be commercially successful, uncompromising and endlessly enjoyable. with that in mind, here is our attempt to capture best of 2014’s spirit and sounds.
