After a three week bout of internet abstinence caused by moving house (see vinyl lugging video), plugging back in and having streaming music again feels like the proverbial water at the end of the desert.

As a result I’ve gone a little overboard, eagerly glugged at the musical well and picking out 50 of the finest tunes I’ve heard since returning to the wired-up 21st century.

There’s a dizzying array of new music featuring the long awaited return of Sara Lowes, a steel band version of Voodoo Ray, Men in Burka’s, Brass bands from Jaipur, Parisian pop, the beautiful voice of Isobel Anderson, and intelligent hip-hop from Dessa and Blueprint.
