Another year nears its end - it's the 19th in FdM's potted/potty history - and it's time to gather together a few choice tracks from the last twelve months, cram them onto a compilation CD and send them out to friendly DJs around the world in the hope that Fruits de Mer and its merry band of artists will get one more positive mention before 2027 begins in earnest..
