Featuring music I listened to during a recent trip to Berlin. Inspired by shows I saw, museums I explored, conversations I had, books I read, and more. Featuring surprisingly little German music, though there’s that + Japan, Brazil, Nigeria, Greece, Russia, and of course our Anglosphere favourites.
