OUTTA Top Discoveries of 2021

December 7, 2021 - Audio

A lot of good music came through our doors in 2021, be it through the curation work we do via Shivelight, the playlist submissions we receive on Submithub, or generally through our network’s discovery reach. This year, we don’t have the capacity to do a full genre-by-genre breakdown like last year, so we’ve just taken our favourites from across genres we were active in, and boiled them down to the top 30. Here they are in some vague genre-based categorisation, based on an order of increasing entropy (more chaotic ones at the end). You can also find them all as a playlist at the end.

Note: Obviously, we didn’t include anything from our own label due to conflict of interest, but you can find our 2021 releases here.

Wish everyone a good 2022!
