- RA's editorial staff reflect on the year that was.
- As the dust settles on a tumultuous year, some of RA's editorial staff converged on Berlin to sift through 12 months of dance music. Now that the polls are in, the annual Critics Roundtable is our chance to offer personal perspectives on the tracks, albums, DJs, live acts and mixes that defined the year and offer ideas about developments and trends in the broader dance music landscape. Clocking in at just over an hour, this conversation is a chance to shine a light on music that might not have figured heavily in the polls but deserves attention as the year comes to a close.
