Lucky 7s From The Flightpath Estate

Dr Rob has been running a series of end of year posts at Ban Ban Ton Ton, with a slew of contributors (and Rob) offering up their best of tracks of 2024 in the form of 7s. Rob is based in Japan and in Japanese superstition 7 is the luckiest number- Rob's hopes that by each contributor keeping their end of  '24 lists tight and limited to just 7, some magic conjured up by 7 x 7 x 7x 7 x 7 recurring will bring us a good 2025- as far as I'm concerned it's as good a theory as any. Contributors of Lucky 7s include Coyote, Klangkollektor, Silvertooth, Secret Soul Society, Eiji Tanaguchi, J- Walk, Jason Boardman, and various selections from Rob himself (compilations, Balearic beats, techno and house)

Rob asked us at The Flightpath Estate if we'd like to contribute our Lucky 7s and there being five of us (me, Baz, Dan, Martin and Mark) we decided to do 7 each, thus swelling our contribution to thirty five tracks. The post with or Lucky 7s went up at Ban Ban Ton Ton on Boxing Day. You can find it here. There is dub. There is Australian psychedelic jazz. There is ambient. There is Four Tet (twice) and Coyote (twice) and Fat White Family (also twice). There is hip hop. There is euphoric acid house. There are remixes. There is indie dance and Balearica. There is wonky techno and deep fried acid house. There is cosmic piano house and wigged out covers of Manuel Gottsching. There is Mancunian post- punk. There are sounds from the Flightpath Estate and there is poetry. 

Martin volunteered to sequence our thirty five selections into one long form mix, a mammoth undertaking but one he's pulled off with aplomb, thirty five tracks from 2024, three hours and twenty one minutes of musical joy and wonder. Listen at Mixcloud.
