About this playlist

The Hoof has done the hard digging for you so why not enjoy the fruits of his labour with the ‘Hot 20’ playlist, a small selection his efforts, updated weekly and collated to form the Hot 2021, 2022… playlist at the end of the year.

The hoof is always on the search for new music and he’s a stubborn old stallion and likes to do things the old fashioned way, so it’s back to basics, searching through magazines, mainly online ones, blogs and websites, like Le Visiteur, Monkeyboxing, Music is my Sanctuary, Test Pressing, Five Mag, Faith, 45 Live, The Vinyl Factory, Wax Poetics and many many more.

He’s not so stuck in his ways that he doesn’t utilise modern tech, but he let’s the algorithms work for him, not the other way round, but there’s still 100’s of submissions and recommendations each week to preview, to find you the hottest new music.
