Das Jahr neigt sich dem Ende zu - Zeit für einen Rückblick auf das musikalische 2013. Was hat DJs, Journalisten und Veranstaltern dieses Jahr besonders gut gefallen? Das traditionelle "Best Of 2013".

2013 war ein musikalisch breitgefächertes Jahr. Aus jeder Richtung kam Großartiges, ob elektronisch, experimentell oder minimal, man kann sich nicht beschweren.

Entsprechend breitgefächert sind auch die untenstehenden Listen, die im Laufe des Dezembers sicher noch um den ein oder anderen Beitrag erweitert werden.

Zur Untermalung habe ich euch eine Playlist zusammengestellt - gute Unterhaltung und schreibt uns doch in den Kommentaren, was ihr von der Auswahl haltet, und was eure Favourites waren!

In Liebe, euer Onkel Scrag!
