Hi music ppl.
It's a year break since last publishing.
A lot of happened and I'm thousand hrs of music ahead.
So I'm giving You my personal summary of my most listened, liked and respected albums of 2025.
Most of these records I've been playing in my radio show Drewutnia dD on internet Radio SPIN (radiospin.pl / Poland) whoever a few was missed so they might be new for my regular listeners.
This is not a love mix, no catchy tunes inside, not for dancing too.
It's for real listeners and ppl who appreciate artist who still recording full albums and has the stories to tell.
This time mix is almost 2hr, but contains 26 tracks from as You can guess 26 albums.
The last one You can treat as a "bonus" track closing whole story.
The order in which the tracks appear does not indicate the importance of the albums but only its fit into the mix.
With this mix (and other mixes form best of albums serie) I wanted to give you 'album structure feeling"
So there is a opening and ending (see the titles of tracks) , energetic and quiter moments and even twist.
Hope You will enjoy listening, finding albums You missed or didn't know it even exist.
This selection has a wide range of electronic music, so don't expect many of dance or club tracks.
There are a few tunes backing to my youth and roots with EDM/Industial genre coz of significant albums of legends like The Young Gods, Tear Garden (co-op of cEvin Key of SKinny Puppy and Edward K. Spell of The Legendary Pink Dots) or iconic meber of Front Line Assembly / Noise Unit - Rhys Fulber among "kids" from HEALTH :)
But don't worry there is a lot of "techno era" electronic.

Here's a look for whole project with separated automation lines.
Plus mastering chain used and...
This time I was using brand new for me tape echo and simple free hp/lp filter to add some finish to tracks during blends.
Whole mix took me a several hours splited on 4 or 5 days.
Hope You will enjoy final work.
