Listen to VF’s “Best of 2017” radio show

A two-hour sprint through our favourite music of 2017.

For the last two weeks, we’ve been running through our favourite records of 2017, from 7″s and 12″s, to albums, reissues and soundtracks.

Taking the seat in the Soho Radio studio for the last time this year, Editor Anton Spice attempted to fit as many new albums as possible into the two-hour show to give you a snapshot of what we loved most, and hopefully expose you to some brilliant new music in the… process.
