Here’s to 2012, an incredible year of music that brought us new and inspiring music from some much loved and up and coming artists like Disclosure and Hiatus Kaiyote to name just a few.

Hoping you’re going to enjoy the latest addition to meltingbutter.com ”“ Music!

For a few years now, I’ve been pulling together a monthly list of my favourite tunes to listen to during my commute, at work, at home, anywhere that music could be used to sweeten the mood really”¦

They’ve become quite a hit amongst my nearest and dearest – who seem to think I have a knack for discovering new, good music so I thought why not share it with the rest of the world?

So from now on, I’ll be posting monthly Spotify and SoundCloud playlists for you to enjoy and what better time to start than with a playlist that pays tribute to the best tracks and artists for 2012!
