A close-up, muted blue-toned image shows a vinyl record spinning on a turntable. The record's concentric grooves are visible, with a tonearm and its stylus cartridge positioned over the surface on the right side. Light reflections highlight parts of the record and the stylus, set against a softly blurred background.
Picks from 2025

These are playlists of some of my favorite releases in 2025. I make no claims to “best of” because there’s so much I haven’t heard, but these were the tops for me.

I sorted the playlist by energy, not in a necessarily “best of” way. If you like ambient/soundscape stuff, it’s in the second half of the playlist.

A vinyl record with colorful comic-book cover art for “I Hate Fairyland.” The cover shows the green-haired character Gertrude (Gert) in pigtails, grinning and brandishing a large, blood-splattered double-headed axe. Hey tiny winged sidekick hovers nearby. The bold, multicolored title “I HATE FAIRYLAND” spans the bottom. The black LP is partially slid out to the right, with a label image of Gert.

I Hate Fairyland Playlist

The image displays an album cover and a partially visible black vinyl record against a plain white background. The square album cover is designed to resemble a classic Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) controller, featuring a black background with grey directional pad, start/select buttons, and red A/B buttons. Centered above the control layout is a red oval with a white outline, containing "Nintendo Metal" in white text, stylized like the classic Nintendo logo. Above this, a white gothic-style text, resembling "dft," is presented with a paint splatter effect. The black vinyl record, positioned to the right, has a central label that also mimics a section of an NES controller, showing grey buttons and two red buttons.

This image shows a vinyl record album cover for "Cyberpunk 1992" in a retro-futuristic aesthetic. The cover features vibrant neon colors - primarily hot pink and cyan blue - with "cyberpunk" displayed in bold, glitchy digital-style lettering at the top and "1992" in yellow script below it. The artwork depicts a dystopian urban scene with futuristic characters including what appears to be punk-styled figures with weapons, set against a backdrop of towering skyscrapers and neon-lit cityscape. The scene has a distinctly 1980s-90s cyberpunk vibe reminiscent of movies like Blade Runner. A black vinyl record is partially visible next to the album cover, and the entire image is set against a purple gradient background. There's also what appears to be a logo or emblem in the bottom left corner of the album artwork.
