from one of the kings of Minimal...LocoDice, and with a sweet cd. That magazine made me really wish i could've made it across the pond this year to go to Ibiza, and even more to go to DC-10 and Cocoon. Along with the REAL Cocoon in Germany. Richie Hawtin moved across the pond as did Jimmy Van M. Maybe that'll help them get more gigs over there.
.
im right there with you on that one. there were a lot of great live sets i downloaded that were from dc10 this year. did you hear the dc 10 circo loco cd? clive henry and locodice each had a disc along with a short dvd.
Ok I have to say DUbai was a awesome set but Digweeds Ibiza is by far the best this year. He really showed us the dark side again during dark times. Sasha Lithuania was superb as well.

Musically this year took on a huge change for me. I used to be all about trance and nothing was better then trance....then in March I went and saw Steve Lawler at System and everything changed. I gained a whole new respect for the different types of electronic music out there.
Party's of the year for me were:
Steve Lawler @ System Soundbar
Sasha & Steve Lawler @ The Guvernment - highlight on the Skybar when Sasha and Lawler went back to back....definately in my top 5 of all parties
Armin Van Buuren @ The Kool Haus for Decadence II
Matt Hardwick @ The Docks for Destiny 49
WEMF 2005 - 1st ever WEMF experience and one of the best experiences
sigpic RIP Steve "Jibs" James - Your footprint is forever on my soul and in my heart xoxo RIP Jeff Shewchuk aka DJ Jeff Taylor (day_for_night) - You will live on in my heart forever xoxo
Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain.
Track of the Year: Torley Wong - Xristophan
CD of the Year: Chab - Dub, Edits and Whisky-Coke
Mix of the Year: John Digweed - Live @ Global Gathering
Party of the Year: Desyn Masiello @ Spirit, NYC
Disappointment of the Year: James Zabiela (C'mon, James, we all know you have the best technical skills of all the house/breaks DJs out there. A little less sfx and a little more user-friendly tracklists, please!)
I think 2005 musically can be summed up in five words.... Crazy Frog Was Number One
Other than that lowlight...
Best Track - Suicide Sports Club - Last Ghost In Town (Redanka Remix)
Not far behind it is Pryda - The Gift. One of my repeated highlights of the year has been the fact that no one buys vinyl anymore, so most people completely missed this one. When anyone asks me what it is I just turn over the record and show them its the B side to arguably the most hyped prog record of the year. Even I bought the vinyl, skipped through the B side and left it in my box for a couple of weeks til I heard it on a live set, flipped out and found the track ID, whoops.
Best Compilation - Luke Fair - Bedrock OS3 - Just awesome, unfortunately Balance 008 didn't do for me what Desyn's live sets do.
Best Live Set - Desyn Masiello @ HonkyTonks Melbourne 26 Nov - I was there and the recording was even better than I remember.
Best Kiss Mix - Desyn Masiello - 6 November 2005
Biggest Disappointment - John Digweed @ QBH Melbourne - Melbourne Cup Eve - The same sound for 4 hours, nothing exciting about it at all, I had high expectations and probably wasn't in the best mood for going out after falling asleep on the couch before the gig after too many red wines at dinner, but it was just boring.
"When you stop striving for perfection, you might aswell be dead"
fair, but lacking. some really great sets this year. but overall, i felt we were a little behind. Some big ups to JZ 4.2, Sasha's Proton Mix, some of the Kiss Spec Guest's were just perfect, and so many more.
Disappointment of the Year: James Zabiela (C'mon, James, we all know you have the best technical skills of all the house/breaks DJs out there. A little less sfx and a little more user-friendly tracklists, please!)
I just heard a new JZ set on XM last night. And all i remember was this stupid track with this guy rapping and talking about everybody get up and other shit.
What kinda crap was that? Maybe he was playing to people who didn't know too much about EDM. Too much forcefeeding of hip-hop these days by MTBlaaah.
