Optic Echo Presents

For Headphone Commute:

Good morning and welcome to 2020. We kick off another century with our annual tradition of celebrating the music of the yesteryear, by presenting to you our favourites and recommendations. There will be enough here to fill your shelves and empty your wallets, and all that is coming up in just a couple of days, but we open up our tribute with another vinyl-only mix by Mike Jedlicka of Optic Echo Presents, to tease your ears with his selections of this still-spinning format. If you enjoy this mix, make sure to check out others from the past, which go back to 2011, and yes, are still available for your listening pleasure!

For a full track listing and a download of a higher bitrate MP3, please stop by headphonecommute.com and subscribe to our podcast! Don't forget to check us out on Facebook and follow us for more music recommendations!

And as always, please enjoy responsibly and support the featured artists!
