(boring q: lots of "tribute to" collections on spotify for some of these. anyone know what the deal is?)

also feel like todd edwards just keeps coming up gold this year. for example his remix of 'infinity' is godlike. *crosses self*

keep meaning to post to this thread, i'm not organized enough to pop off a list without digging through a bunch of stuff. some of the jackin tracks are pretty cool, but i can only take so much british mcing. these stand out: Nick Hannam & Tom Garnett - You Want Me, Driicky Graham - Snapbacks & Tattoos (Donkie Punch & Lorenzo Remix), Francois ft Louis Benton - I Can Say

Jackin' Chan

'I'm going to man up and admit that I prefer where the interzone thread began the year to where it ended it. Jackin so far is one of those things that I can see the fun in rather than feel it'

Kinda agree, kinda.

I think to much stock has been chucked at jackin' to early. It mostly just sounds like elecrto house from 10 or so years ago and every now and again you get the odd bassline/pop influence. Every tune is pretty much... That bigbeat/electro thing years back...

Yeah some of its fun, yeah owls are cool but jeez come on it aint funky 2.0 its bigblogbeatelectrosmash 1.0

better pack it all in now jimithedyslexicspammer's told us what's what

:') Cool, I'll just do a boring list of Sex Tags Mania, Hessle and Blawan now then we're all sorted.

p.s. I only play heel on ilx.

Every tune is pretty much... That bigbeat/electro thing years back...

fidget house!

Thats the one...

I'll just do the odd album EOY before I geto bored: LV, DJ Rashad, Bass Clef, Madteo, Mix Mup & Kasse Mosse. Done.

So glad that in today's unforgiving modern world jimi and the late great have found one another.

Electro house huh

Rashad album was hot tho.

t/s: electro house in 2012 vs tech house in 2012 vs broken beat in 2012

great list karl... unearthing lots of gems from it.

Rev I would have thought broken beat (whether meant seriously by vahid or not) would be right up your alley.

Rev!

(Don't know if any of this is as part of the rhythm and blues lineage as How to Dress Well, but...)

(...)

(...)

(Though that stuff is 2000-2006, not 2012.)

haha I like broken beat, I was just going for the easy layup

I'd still be suspicious of anyone making it in 2012 tho

Bits of the '12 Funkineven/Fatima 12" would have qualified in '00, I think.

Most of the OGs have departed, it seems (Marc Mac's Visioneers, Kaidi Tatham, etc).

Some of my favorites in no particular order:

Vedomir - Vedomir LP <---why no talk abt vakula/vedomir on ilm?
Willie Graff & Tuccillo - Sunday Morning 12"
Storm Queen - Let's Make Mistakes 12"
Bobby Browser - Just Browsing 12"
Delroy Edwards - 4 Club Use Only EP
Todd Terje - It's The Arps 12"
Suzanne Kraft - Horoscope EP
Mike Huckaby - "Baseline 89"
I:Cube - Cubo Edits EP
Split Secs ‎– Slave 12"
Roche - Auragan EP
Conforce ‎– "24 (Gesloten Cirkel Remix)"

Delroy Edwards - 4 Club Use Only EP
Mike Huckaby - "Baseline 89"
Conforce ‎– "24 (Gesloten Cirkel Remix)"

good stuff! "love goes on and on" is definitely one of my tracks of the year

Conforce ‎– "24 (Gesloten Cirkel Remix)"
