| 1 | DJ Re:Code | "Blood Box" | single | Like the pandemic, hyperpop hasn't ended as much as it has outlived our capacity to regard it as crisis. |
| 2 | Rein | "How's It Gonna Be?" | single | Genres don't really die: every moment is formative for somebody, |
| 3 | PUTOCHINOMARICÓN | "tu padre es un facha y tu madre una terf" | tu padre es un facha y tu madre una terf +1 | and so there will almost certainly be people still listening to 2023 DJ Re:Code songs in 2051 |
| 4 | death's dynamic shroud | "Let Them Live" | single | the same way there are still people listening to 1995 Polara songs in 2023. |
| 5 | NOVACUB | "Girl You Once Knew" | single | That's my theory, anyway, based on the generally sound idea that the past demonstrates deep human tendencies |
| 6 | Yumi And The Weather | "Feed The Wanting" | Feed The Wanting +3 | as much as it illuminates fleeting trends, |
| 7 | CLEWS | "Better Than Before" | single | and thus it's reasonable to assume that people usually don't change in fundamental ways. |
| 8 | Adventnote | "Fine With Me" | single | Reasonable, but maybe wrong? |
| 9 | Elín Hall | "bankastræti" | single | Will we reach an evolutionary stage where we still fall in love with some new music we think of as ours, |
| 10 | Desire Marea | "The Only Way" | The Only Way +1 | when we are young and the present feels narrow and bright, |
| 11 | Yana Zafiro | "Cruel" | single | and yet it only runs its fingers lightly along some less-sensitive patch of our skin, |
| 12 | Samantha Stone | "Lifeline" | single | a heel or a shoulder blade, |
| 13 | Katie Gregson-MacLeod | "September" | Big Red 5 | gloved by virtuality, |
| 14 | JULES IS DEAD | "My Own Hell" | single | and so afterwards we are indifferent, willing and able to forget? |
| 15 | Kirin J Callinan | "Eternally Hateful" | single | Will the playlists we made, despite the seeming permanence of our now-tracked whims, |
| 16 | Lauren Mayberry | "Shame" | single | succumb somehow to mergers or layoffs or carbon offsets |
| 17 | Missing Persons | "Ice Blue Eyes - Single Edit" | single | even more catastrophically than boxes of records in floodable basements |
| 18 | JIEMEI | "SYOUMEI CALLING" | LUNA4 | soaked up surges of our regrets? |
| 19 | PIGGS | "Route 91665" | single | Will our tastes be reduced so methodically to receptivity to particular monetized hums |
| 20 | Leo Ieiri | "BINKAN" | single | that nostalgia itself is relegated to nostalgia, |
| 21 | ReoNa | "R.I.P." | single | and we no longer think about our past selves in terms of the songs that made them feel how they felt? |
| 22 | ヨルシカ | "月光浴" | single | It is possible for Missing Persons to have a new album 40 years into their nominal existence |
| 23 | KANKAKU PIERO | "nonfiction no bokurayo" | single | because of human life expectancy, |
| 24 | ASCA | "私が笑う理由は" | single | or because the gatekept monoculture of popular music in the early 1980s |
| 25 | MindaRyn | "Shiny Girl" | single | offered fewer entry points? |
| 26 | SennaRin | "S9aiR" | single | The individual experience of listening to "Blood Box" could be essentially the same as that of listening to "U.S. Drag", |
| 27 | Moon In June | "Robert" | ロマンと水色の街 | but the collective experience might be different. |
| 28 | Theredone | "Escape" | single | Maybe we don't, even though of course this is what it feels like, |
| 29 | ULTRA | "flashback" | single | hold even our strongest feelings entirely inside our own hearts. |
| 30 | JIEMEI | "AISURU" | LUNA4 | They escape us, and are nurtured or abandoned in collective space, |
| 31 | Air Drawn Dagger | "The Collapse of Mount Plethora" | Songs To Fight The Gods To 5 | so that we may make our way unencumbered |
| 32 | Ankor | "Stereo" | Stereo +3 | but reencounter them by arranged chance. |
| 33 | Seas on the Moon | "Truth In Veins" | single | I think of this as a natural property of the air, |
| 34 | Secret Rule | "Shards of Time" | single | but the streets probably used to smell of horses, too. |
| 35 | Everdawn | "Cassiopeia" | single | We know we can change a little, |
| 36 | THE ANSWER LIES IN THE BLACK VOID | "Ataraxia" | Thou Shalt | so we should not assume our emotional stability |
| 37 | Varg | "Tyr" | Ewige Wacht | or social morality |
| 38 | Saltatio Mortis | "Heute Nacht" | single | are self-maintaining. |
| 39 | Theocracy | "Flicker" | Mosaic | Maybe these songs we love today, Discord stem-trading glitchbops or evangelic symphonic metal, |
| 40 | ANGRA | "Gods Of The World" | Gods Of The World +2 | are stream-coated with a slowly-toxic memory anti-coagulant, |
| 41 | Jason Bieler And The Baron Von Bielski Orchestra | "Zombies & Black Swans" | Zombies & Black Swans +2 | and our hearts feel illusorily full |
| 42 | Creeper | "Further Than Forever" | Sanguivore | but we are only waiting for the end of time to hurry up and arrive. |
| 43 | Edge Of Forever | "The Last One" | Ritual | The forever whose last edge we stand on is an oblivion, |
| 44 | Ronnie Atkins | "Ode To A Madman" | Trinity | an event horizon over which we will belatedly realize we have been lost. |
| 45 | Care of Night | "Tonight" | single | Tonight, we will not have known, was all we would ever have, |
| 46 | One Morning Left | "Neon Inferno (Paradise)" | Neon Inferno (Paradise) +2 | and we can repeat it but not remember or relive it. |
| 47 | Merta | "Katso mua silmiin" | single | We look through each other. We look through ourselves. |
| 48 | IKINÄ | "Tapa loinen" | single | The sponsors of the background insist on the glazed regard for which they have paid, |
| 49 | Eramaa | "Saitamieli" | single | and what they have purchased for us is a foregroundlessness. |
| 50 | Fortíð | "Vefurinn sem ég spinn" | Narkissos | Or, just to briefly entertain a counter-theory, maybe not. |
| 51 | Furia | "Zamawianie Trzecie" | Huta Luna | We do not escape predicted dystopias by relying on their pessimisms turning out to be foolish, |
| 52 | Mānbryne | "Suma wszystkich strat" | Interregnum: O próbie wiary i jarzmie zwątpienia | but by inhabiting their details until the fear collects on the surface as a thin sheen which may be gently skimmed off. |
| 53 | Maladie | "For We Are the Plague" | single | It is exactly your job to not listen so deafly that songs do not register. |
| 54 | Catafalque | "Infestation" | Dybbuk | It will become your turn to reject disagency. |
| 55 | Sulphur Aeon | "Hammer From The Howling Void" | Seven Crowns And Seven Seals | Without scarcity to protect the fortunate |
| 56 | XAAXAA | "DRAW" | DRAW +2 | and obscure the rest, |
| 57 | AURORIZE | "CESTRAL" | single | you cannot wait to be told what to love |
| 58 | AIRFLIP | "Orange Night" | single | by advisors paid on commission. |
| 59 | Benne | "In The Air Tonight" | single | You will have to walk out your door, |
| 60 | Almero | "Pietie Beyers" | single | into the now-teeming throngs, |
| 61 | All Tvvins | "Every Minute" | single | and find a way to fall in love. |
| 62 | The Menzingers | "Alone in Dublin" | Some Of It Was True | Or, to say it the other way around, the robots will not win. |
| 63 | Six Going on Seven | "Method Actor" | Method Actor +1 | They do not need or want it enough, or at all. |
| 64 | Starlight Replica | "Sa'yo" | single | They can proffer generative adequacy, |
| 65 | The Ultimate Heroes | "Wag Na Lang" | single | but they can't fight with you on Twitter and then make music you still like anyway. |
| 66 | Mr Traumatik | "Fibonacci patterns" | Calipacks & coffee | They can walk among us, unguarded, without falling in love or provoking offense out of spiraling fear, |
| 67 | Giuseppe Gilardi | "nihil" | single | but we cannot. |
| 68 | The Haxan Cloak | "N/Y" | single | Our future nostalgia has not been commodified, |
| 69 | Labelle | "Futurity_" | NOIR ANIMA | it has been exponentiated. |
| 70 | Kgzoo | "Zibonakalise - Original" | single | You will remember things that the people around you have forgotten, |
| 71 | Nomcebo Zikode | "iNkanyezi (feat. Exclusive Drumz)" | single | but you will summon a scattered community back continually into being by existing as part of it |
| 72 | Zandie Khumalo | "Emagameni Amathathu" | single | or even witnessing it from afar. |
| 73 | Quality Biyela | "Iyophela Igqenene" | single | Like Pangaea, our grounding joy has not been consumed, |
| 74 | Khuzani | "Umjolo Lowo" | single | it has been distributed. |
| 75 | Cassadee Pope | "Wasting All These Tears - Cassadee's Version" | single | We are at the moving tectonic edge of a future that loudly offers us our own versions of everything, |
| 76 | Gold Steps | "Blank Space" | single | but quietly promises us each other liberated and empowered with magic and madness. |
| 77 | Vajra | "Love Is a Battlefield" | single | The people who used to aspire to tell us we were wrong lost this battle. |
| 78 | Story Untold | "Every Breath You Take" | single | Our dreams were full of strange and dangerous ideas, |
| 79 | The Dollyrots | "A New England" | Night Owls | but we dream at night, and then we wake up. |
