The last normal show of the year is upon us before we try and narrow down all our favourite music that got released in 2026 for the End Of Year Free Range show. We’ve already started narrowing it down, obviously.

Before then though, music from all over the place from various decades and as ever, it’s easy for us to say the music is great because we didn’t have a hand in writing any of it, so we get to be cheerleaders for some lesser known artists.

The mix is, as ever, on Mixcloud – that means you don’t have to pay to listen to it, which is the main thing. We won’t charge you to read the articles on THEPOPCORPS and we certainly won’t charge you to listen to FREE RANGE.

Do it for the culture and to try and put some good stuff back in the world, right? Sign-up to Mixcloud so you get a notification when we upload it. Or don’t and just rely on word-of-mouth like always – we don’t really mind, although we do like it when you tell us you’ve tuned in.
