5th Birthday Feature

To celebrate Bleep’s 5th birthday, we asked a select cast of people working in music to pick their 5 favourite releases or tracks from the entire Bleep catalogue of the last 5 years. These are people who are fans and customers of the store; have worked closely with us, or we feel have an interesting viewpoint on music. They range from producers, musicians, journalists, designers, art directors, label bosses and even the curator of popular music at the British Library (the biggest known music collection in Europe).
