they're a national fucking plague

I really like this song from around 2 minutes on, but the first two minutes were tough to get through.

Lol, Rev, they're pretty much my least favourite sound in the world. Aside from maybe smooth '80s 'soulful' sax solos. (Which I'm sure you're going to say you love too, hahaha.)

I'd say they're more hit and miss personally.

Is this "jackin' house"? I didn't pay tons of attention to UK dance musics this year. This is dope as fuck tho.

you guys seem pretty worked up over those posters

certified jackin

that's quite decent too. not really the kind of music i listen to every day, a wee bit too repetitive but it has something about it. there is enough variety in that track that it keeps my attention until the end. i like that ringing, echoing background noise.

i hesitate to mention that i actually liked the driicky graham song

yeah the original's a serviceable banger, i like it, if i'd heard it more in the wild i'd probably like it a lot more. the jackin remix just makes me want to hear the original instead (as per every jackin track i've heard)

love this but hope the original places too

oh wonka meme >

I think I've said this before but all internet memes that don't originate from the rap internet are terrible.

The rap internet?

62. NICK HANNAM & TOM GARNETT FT. TOM ZANETTI "You Want Me" [214 points, 6 votes, 1 first place vote]

Youtube

this is also fucking great, damn

literally never heard of "jacking house" in my life, how many of these are going to place?

LET'S JACK

i guess that youtbue isn't the full version, if someone wants to post a good link...

im still not sure what defines jackin house but these are pretty good

Can someone provide a quick definition of jacking house? Acid house would be one root?

I could just do a search of course.

seems kind of like bassline house without the crazy basslines? i don't like this track as much as the last

OK THEN WATCH WHAT I SAY THEN
IF YOU LIKE CHAMPAGNE SWING MY WAY THEN

I'm with Rev. last track was much better.

yeah this is what it all sounds like to me too. (but with really obvious samples instead.)

Should be able to stream it via http://www49.zippyshare.com/v/58211553/file.html , hopefully.

This is the actual tune of the year 40% of the time.

had i been able to find the full version before voting i definitely would've thrown it on my list

I am so so so fucking happy to see Lapaz Toyota in here. It was played at about 3am at my NYE party when everyone was battered and my front room broke out into this spontaneous azonto. Top 10 of the year for me and the video is great too.

I'm gonna call "you need more people" on this one.

^^^^

uk funky seemed to get much more traction on ilm than jackin and yet "It's What You Do" barely got into the top 77 a few years back so i wasn't expecting any jackin here, glad to be proven wrong! best music atm by far

Last two tracks are fantastic & have impeccable dancefloor logic obv.

I wasn't familiar with the last three tracks but they're awesome at first listen. Specially liking Lapaz Toyota.

Should note "You Want Me" is like the absolute opposite of an instant tune though.

I first heard it way back in Feb or March or so and was like "yeah this is a pretty nice follow-up to Hannam's "Love You Girl" remix", and then found that it just grew in my estimation fairly consistently over the course of the year.

Just this deeply compulsive hypnoticism that eventually feels totally hardwired into yr nervous system like when it's playing the blood is pulsing in time in the veins on the top of my hands.

i can't recall where the best uk funky trax placed? "in the air", "do you mind", "bongo jam", "fallin' again" etc

this is the greatest thing

xp What years were they? I don't remember any of those titles.

goofy wiley raps + choice r&b sampling...

Love those eeeerie sounds building around then it breaks onto the rap 2mins in...just unexpected, seemingly out of place yet totally appropriate. xps

That love you girl remix was so dope too

If pre-2010 then ignore my q

sweet victory
