dance / electronic music EOY 2012 picks

Hear, hear.

But for whatever reason I like Huxley better than the Hot Creations crew, feels a little closer to what I like about poppy garage tracks.

I swear Benediction reminds me more of Clivilles and Cole pre C+C Music Factory more than anything. Clivilles and Cole remixing a boy group.

That kind of thing. It's been weird and a little fun seeing New Jersey style garage get big again, MK resurfacing and all that.

That Lone album is excellent, and Robert Hood is also really good. Thanks for turning me on to them! I also liked:

Lindstrom - Smallhans
John Talabot - fin
Sand Circles - Motor City
Geoff Barrow/Ben Salisbury - DROKK
DJ Rashad - Tek Life
Emeralds - Just to Feel Anything
Silent Servant - Negative Fascination

Mix-wise, I really enjoyed the Heiroglyphic Being FACT mix, also a bunch posted to the mixes thread (Optimo, Andy Weatherall of the top my head) were great.

Really need to hear the Andy Stott album...

it's kinda strange to see ejeca's 'horizon' and bicep's '$tripper' getting all the props while their collab - 'you' - is mostly being ignored on these EOY. tho I love the 3, 'you' stands slightly above them - prob because of the central melody and vocal samples that give the song some kind of voyeuristic emptiness.

moodymann - why do u feel
delroy edwards - 4 club use only
may the funk be with you - gene hunt (theo parrish mix)
use me again - tom trago (carl craig remix)
train to cologne (CoMa Remix) - Hufschlag & Braun
paganini - braiden
changed ft. ernesto - mario & vidis
infinity ink - infinity (todd edwards remix)
kolsch - ader alte (mixed by tobias schmid & stefan sieber)
kink - handmade

^maybe just 'best of rush hour 2012' tbh

mungolian jetset - mungodelics
new jack techno
actress - r.i.p.
lindstrom - smallhans
lone - galaxy garden
cooly g - playin' me
terrence dixon - from the far future pt. ii
session victim - the haunted house of house
roberto rodriguez - dawn
wolfep011

one night in comeme, vol. 1 sounding really good so far

For all the hate I lavish on the LP format, the Voices from the Lake album is fucking hot.

the larse mix of candi staton is another great discovery from these lists, as is larse's own "those of you"

I prefer 'So Long' although that may be a 2011 release.

some great long players

raime
andy stott - luxury problems
silent servant
juju jordash
paranormal soul
claro intelecto
voices from the lake
madteo
dj nature lp
i:cube
lee gamble jungle thing on pan

lex check out the total freedom mix of candi staton (over "she's a bitch") i linked to

Actress - R.I.P.
Lone - Galaxy Gardens
Scuba - Personality
Mala - Mala in Cuba

Fin

KW Griff f/ Porkchop - Bring in the Katz

roll the dice

delta funktionen's traces was a great album that i've just remembered - very pristine, icy stuff, gorgeous in this weather

and it's only just come out but maya jane coles' easier to hide ep might be my favourite thing she's done since "what they say"

Posted that on the general 2012 list, I love Tim and his approach.

why does anyone prefer the mano le tough remix of simulation to the original, can anyone explain?

i mean, i generally really like mano le tough, but the remix of simulation just seems so bleh compared to the heavy, thick disco-funk of the original

neither are really as amazing as i first thought they were, but i do prefer the og

the candi staton/larse and maxxi soundsystem/herbert remixes i gleaned from this thread are just ruling my life right now

PRAISE HIM TIL YOUR SITUATION TURNS AROUND //// ALL OF YOUR WOUNDS WERE SALTED RAW

Yousef - Beg (Hot Since 82 Future Mix)

^^this is great too

There is SO MUCH great stuff on that Tim Sweeney list.

Posted that on the general 2012 list, I love Tim and his approach.

reposted it right after i saw yours. thanks!

c+p'd from yours that is. should have mentioned it before, durr.

this is so gorgeous:

DJ Kaos - Kosmischer Ruckenwind (Quiet Village Remix) - Clone Loft

I remember seeing a video of some people dancing in front of a garage on ILX and I remember loving it but nothing else about it. Can anyone help I.D. it?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUSD7OGkVs8

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N89gf6lBKvs

The Quietus is asking the same question on twitter today. Must be a great video.

Best DJ/live act you saw last year anyone?

Live - Shackleton, who is absolutely immense live EVERY TIME

DJ - Probably Omar-S. Carl Craig and Kode9 were also amazing

Zip, Lawrence, Marc Schneider

best djs - jubilee, carl craig, mikeq, total freedom, jacques greene, spf-666, gavin russom

I know it's an idiotic request. Nearly every trap/bass/whatever video ever is either shot just in front of a garage or in a kitchen. All I remember is that someone was wearing a gas mask. Not much to go on...

Kevin Martin live for me. The Bug at a pre-Notting Hill Carnival bass party was one of the heaviest things I've seen all year with new MC Miss Red to add to Daddy Freddy and Flowdan. And then King Midas Sound at Corsica, probably even better.

ron trent's raw footage is pretty solid.

two antipodal live sets of 2012: funkystepz max firepower garage w/ mutant rihanna mash-ups+toasting and todd terje playing the likes of tommy seebach enducing supremely relaxed dancefloor benevolence

so haunting and trippy i love it

I remember seeing a video of some people dancing in front of a garage on ILX

i'm gonna shoot a video on ILX, good idea. nice white backdrops.

why zing 'quietus' when you can zing misplaced modifiers.

; )

just gonna camp out on this thread for the next month or so

i love chymera - trapped in amber (king britt remix) - gorgeous vocals

Reading the Dope Jams rundown of the year reminded me of the talk about the Andres track up thread.

http://www.dopejams.net/010113.html

they're right about most of those records but jeez dope jams schtick is irritating - those are some easy targets, everyone knows carl craig went to shit years ago, just pointless

i kinda like the joe claussell but then i got no problem with elevator music

yeah i dig me some elevator music, that rundown is positively pipecockian minus the drexciya shrug, or maybe plus the drexciya shrug, the math is a little complicated.
