Blimey, how the Jebus did we get to mid December already?! Well if it be that time of the year, then I guess it must be time for Tracksuite’s Best 50 Tracks of 2023, brought to you, as tradition now serves, in a lovingly crafted playlist bundle. Presented for your aural pleasure through Spotify, if that’s your thing. Or the hit of the whole fruit both audio and visual via YouTube.
I hope you got the chance to check out the Best Albums of 2023 blog. If not, simply carry on scrolling down below for a choice word or two about the 10 best long player selections of the year with some YouTube pickings to give you a flavour. If you’ve already devoured the blog then you’ll already have a heads up on 10 of the tunes included in the following playlist. There’s never more than one track from any particular album in this playlist, quite simply there’s just too much good stuff out there and while there’s always lots of love to go around, there’s not always the playlist space.
So what’s in there? demands the impatient listener. Well, its a Tracksuite mix, so it covers the bases; pop, rock, indie, country, funk, soul, some alt variants, post punk, folk, jazz, dance, rap, drum and bass etc sub genre derivatives etc. Kicking off with a sublime new turn from Mitski. Highlights include a sixties sounding gem from The Lathums. A deadly rocker from Josienne Clark. Dark dancehall return from Chase and Status. Typical Lankum genius and some Lankum infused and influenced brilliance with Øxn. Delicious beats from Prof. Yard Act turned up to 11. A masterpiece from Roseanne Reid and finishing up down the Mother Road with Grace Potter. Aswell as whole jammed pick n mix of other treats for your ears.
Stay tuned for the festive favourite, Xmasuite 2023, a 30 track strong playlist of christmas tunes you’re not much likely to hear anywhere else.
Love as always, D@Tracksuite
