It’s amazing how quickly the first quarter of 2026 has flown by. However, during those weeks, we’ve been sent an absolute avalanche of new music. Although, naturally, there hasn’t been time to review all of it, we’ve covered a lot of ground already this year.

As has become semi-traditional, we’ve rounded up some of our favourite tracks that have featured at Real Gone during that time, and curated a handy playlist to remind some of you of bits you’ve possibly already forgotten, introduce some of you to things you’ve missed, and generally celebrate what has felt like a really interesting time.

The tracks can be streamed below (with apologies to those who don’t use Spotify).
