Eh up!

Presenting my world in sound over the past four months or so.

My end-of-year, on-the-eve gift to you.

Minimal chat – just mega minutes of brilliance across time and space.

Music to hibernate with, reflect on or have a little kitchen bop to with loved ones over the holidays.

Thoughts and feedback to [at] amarofpatel on socials or you can write to me in the comments.

Please support the artists by clicking the links and picking up some of these releases.

Wishing you all good things next year…
