It's been a big year at Capsule Towers! We turned 2 in March, held 2 sell out parties at Alphabet, hosted Sean Johnston, Chip Wickham and Matt Wilde for LP launches, collaborated on nice events with Voya, the Well and our favourite boozer The Windmill alongside holding 6 weekends when we opened up our decks to you all. And, finally (!) launched the HiFi basement space. Pheewww! Before we get ready to put our feet up for a bit, we wanted to share some of our favourite music of the year with you in case you missed it.
We've pulled together our favourite records from the past year, covering four categories: compilations, new releases, staff picks, and reissues.
We focused on our favourites rather than just what’s in stock. That means a few titles might not be available to buy anymore, but we still wanted to share them as recommendations! Check them all out in the Spotify playlist below.
If something you love is out of stock, drop us a message, we’ll do our best to help.

Proper deep house, boogie, funk and soul is mixed with modern electronic pop then sprinkled liberally with disco dust. Confident, sophisticated and stylish yet playful and adventurous, it finds Crazy P in an empowered new purple patch – both comfortable in their own skin and unafraid to try new things.
Way before the rise in prominence of disco, house and soulful pop from the likes of Todd Terje, Disclosure or Jessie Ware, Crazy P have spearheaded the revival (and perpetuation) of these sounds since 1997. Their status as respected, vital players has maintained throughout nearly 20 years, and with the bright future of ‘Walk Talk Dance Sing’, they remain leading lights worthy of yet more recognition.
