(Some of) the Best of 2016

Daniel Caesar Japanese Denim [live at q Studio for q on CBC]

Today's show featured a smattering of songs released in 2016, all of which I personally enjoy. I present them to you in an order which I felt flowed best. There were so many more tracks that I would have liked to have played, but alas. It's impossible to compress a year's worth of music down to three hours, but ya gotta make do with whatcha got, am I right? I've included links for all artists/remixers. Enjoy! psst...most of them are (legit) free downloads.
