Re: The massive year 2010 round up-thread
Maybe I will make a list tomorrow if I can find some time for it, but for me 2010 stands for the ADE Yacht Party. It was the best party in my whole life and I won't forget it .
The ingrediënts for that night: Desyn Massielo, 16 Bit Lolitas, Nick Warren, James Zabiela, Robert Babicz, Sasha and only 500 man on a cruising boat at night in Amsterdam !"Computer games don’t affect kids: I mean if Pac-Man affected us as kids, we’d all be running around in darkened rooms, munching magic pills and listening to repetitive electronic music."Comment

Re: The massive year 2010 round up-thread
Another great year for electronic music ... my old laptop broke so I'm on a very old pc I re-fired up, so I haven't got access to a lot of miles until I dredge them off the old drives.
But here's some of my favourite tracks ... in no particular order :
01. Ripperton - At Peace Feat. C. Wheeler (I:Cube Tape Mix) (Miegakure EP) [Green | GR09.2]
02. Ryan Davies - The Wolve (Max Cooper Remix) [IRM Records | IRM Records]
03. Reference - The Best Day in Detroit [Planet E Communications | PLE65320]
04. Kiki - Cinema Obscura [Bpitch Control | BPC221]
05. Cora Novoa – Icaro (Sistema Remix) [Natura Sonoris | NS018]
06. Dual Shaman - Ocean Breeze (Original Mix) [Wolfskuil Limited WLTD011]
07. Dominik Eulberg - Daten Übertragungs Küsschen (Minilogue's Belledub Mix Full Version) [Traum Schallplatten | TRAUM V121]
08. Minilogue - Seconds (Max Cooper Rmx) [Traum Schallplatten | TRAUM V127]
09. Kirk Degiorgio - Membrane (C2 Mix) [Planet E | PLE653163]
10. Massive Attack - Paradise Circus (Breakage’s Tight Rope Remix) [Virgin]
11. Egbert - Vreugdevuur [Cocoon Recordings | COR12"068]
12. Luis Junior - Bg [Bedrock Records | Bed91]
13. Ian O'Donovan - Aurora Borealis [Bedrock Records | Bed90]
14. Chaim - Love Rehab (Dub Mix) [Bpitch Control | BPC212]
15. DiRTY dOERing - Loco (Vince Watson Ambient Remix) [Damage Music Berlin | DMB003-6]
16. Night Plane - Str8 2 Ur Heart [CCC | CCC000]
17. Midland & Furiku - Leitmotif (Midland Remix) [Phonica Records | PHONICA005]
18. Caribou - Sun (Midland Re-Edit) [XLR8 | Free Dowload]
19. Robert Babicz – Pink Trees [Bedrock Records | Bed96]
20. King Unique - 2000000 Dubs [Bedrock Records | Bedstructvin2]
Top mix comps:
1. John Digweed - Structures
2. Ben Klock - Berghain 04
3. Surgeon - fabric 53
Best Radio Show - Transitions (John Digweed)
Best New Radio Show - Profound Sounds (Josh Wink)
Top nights out :
To be fair they have all been great, I've been lucky enough to catch Digweed 8 times, Sasha 7 times and Josh Wink twice.
But the Sankeys Night which influenced Diggers' Essential Mix, Diggers @ Space, ibiza, Sasha @ fabric, Josh Wink at WHP and Diggers at xmas fabric were all excellent.
Low of 2010 : The Bedrock nights are always a great get together, with the likes of D-Zone, Funky Karma, Chunky, Domnal, Rossco1977, Maff and even Feather making it .... but Day for Night (Jeff) will be sorely missed - I'm sure he'll be up there listening in and Diggers' tribute was a nice touch.
So onwards & upwards - hope to see a few more of the board in 2011. RIP Jeff

Re: The massive year 2010 round up-thread
Here is the music I've enjoyed most this year. (I haven't posted here in months.) It's a good record of what I liked to listen to at home and on the road, hummed in my head, and played on my radio show, Swoon.
Since a typical hour of Swoon is usually 12 tracks long, I went with top 12s for this year's lists. No numbers or rankings, they're all good. As usual, some tracks could easily be placed in a different genre, but that's just the way modern music is, there are plenty of hybrids (and there should be).
Mixes of the my favourite house and techno tracks are available below, and quite good, IMO! (The tracks are not in the listed order.) I haven't made and uploaded the other mixes yet.
