Time for my December 2013 chart! It’s slightly inspired by some end-of-year lists (specifically, I found out about Jai Paul’s “Str8 Outta Mumbai” and Sophie’s “Bipp” from Pitchfork), but also has a few songs that have been around a while and another remix of a Donna Summer classic (I seem to include her often…). Bonus: Pictured above is another polar votex in the solar system — not the super cold one covering most of the U.S. right now but the hexagonal shape at the southern pole of Saturn! It’s a mystery of the solar system due to the shape. Bonus 2: Trying out a new format for this month’s chart — below is a list of each song including a link to hear it and at the bottom is a Soundcloud playlist.
