16 For 16: Xtra Mile playlists (XMR Nerd Sessions)

Choose 16 songs from 16 years of releases – here’s some of ours!

- 02/03/2019 -

As we’ve probably told you a few times by now, it’s Xtra Mile Recordings’s 16th birthday - our label is almost an adult!

A fun game we thought you’d might like to play is to scour our enormous discography and put together playlists of 16 tracks for 16 years. You can be fast and loose with the rules, as we have. Brad, for example, decided to try his best to stick to one track from each year. However, he managed to choose two for a few of them because decisions are not always his strongest suit. Charlie skipped a couple of years and put several on one. Dani also doubled up. We’re not sure exactly how Anthea’s works at all, but we’ll let her do her thing.

Up for the challenge? Then click the link for our mostly-complete and almost-accurate discography to remind yourself what year things were released and then pick tracks from your favourite releases. Put them into a Spotify playlist for us, and tag with #XMR16. Share them among your friends, XMR fans or not!

And now, here are the staff lists!
