releases just for that day, some in very limited quantities. 2018 is looking like another great year for electronic music related releases and there are some quite significant, different USA/European
releases this year - with the UK/Europe coming out tops for electronic related releases. For those unable to get to a bricks and mortar store on the 21st we also provide iTunes download links for the
music, if it's available digitally. Now that the official releases lists have been published, here is our guide to this year's interesting electronic related releases - this article will be updated as
