Sitting In Trees compilation by Basso was the best for me this year.

I think bigger comps can overwhelm me a bit and I can’t remember which tracks I play and then it doesn’t come out with me… the Thai reggae tune on Tangent is incredible though and worth it just for that

Havana Negra’s self titled album on Zanja is total Cuban dynamite. Pretty certainly my album of 2024.
