First Floor – 2016 in Review with Philip Sherburne

Most of the time, First Floor focuses on the newest of the new, with host Shawn Reynaldo scouring the latest electronic music releases each week and subsequently sharing only the best stuff. Now that December has rolled around, however, the usual gush of new releases has slowed to a trickle, and with 2016 rapidly coming to a close, the time seems right to take a look back at the year gone by. Rather than tackling this task alone, Shawn has enlisted the talents of Philip Sherburne, a fellow Barcelona resident and esteemed electronic music writer who currently serves as a contributing editor at *Pitchfork*. Together, the two discuss and share some of their favorite tunes from 2016 while also examining some of the trends and storylines that colored the year in electronic music.
