RTRFM’s Full Frequency: The Best Tracks of 2022
A neo-trance revival, permutations of UK bass and breakbeat sounds, the return of 2000s tech house and a heavy lean towards psychedelic ambience — 2022 was a diverse year in dance music, particularly on RTRFM.
The worldwide opening of clubs and the return of touring artists to WA saw an already rich pool of local electronica made all the richer and DJs and dancers alike reaped the benefits.
With their fingers constantly on the pulse of the dance music world, Micah & Mittens, Allstate, Dart, Willy Slade & Nina BC and Nafta & Yikes soundtracked our weekday afternoons with some of the most progressive club sounds from the world over. They’ve distilled the year’s worth of tracks down into a handful of neat lists — check out their favourite cuts from 2022!
