every remix of Yeah Yeah is scorching. i was iffy about dropping it still but everytime i do i see people going crazy for it.

[2rip]

10. Mark Knight & Dinsdale - Crunch


This is a freakin HOT one. It couldn't quite make my top 10 of the year tho. I think it's going to be hot for a while tho.

The other ones listed are things that I will hear years later and think back to the things that happened this year... ya know, like tunes that pull me back in time.

[dj intreeg]

[SCHLiTZ]

- Oldskool Junx - Bomb Rush AND Flamed Up (I like these tunes equally)

[Steve Synth]

take me back to your house (micky slim remix) - basement jaxx

TUNE!

Is this out anywhere yet?

[Cortex]

this is hands down my #1 tune of the year.

quite possibly mine as well... although i have a bit more trouble declaring the absolute best

anyway, in no particular order:

Noir - "My MTV" (Chris Lake remix)
Supafly - "Moving Too Fast" (Freemason remix, any of the dub edits)
Dirty Old Ann - "Turn Me On" (Phunk Mob remix)
Chris Lake - "Changes"
Lifelike & Kris Menace - "Discopolis" (Chris Lake remix)
Hatiras - "Something About You"
Those Guys - "I Walk Alone" (Haji & Emmanuel remix)
Haji & Emmanuel - "Take Me Away"
Axer - "123"
The Young Punx - "Rockall" (Phonat remix)

[xgirl]

TUNE!

Is this out anywhere yet?

ummm i dont know. it didn't get officially picked up so maybe not.

[ramz]

I suppose I can add a few obvious tracks, but I couldn't rank them with any significant meaning:

Dr Kucho! - Hallelujah - Disc Doctor
- that might be my #2 of the year
John 00 Fleming - Rasa Lila (John C Remix) - J00F
- spot on hot production and it certainly doesn't hurt that I love pimpin local stuff
Roger Sanchez - Lost (Tom Novy's Lost in Space Remix) - Ultra
- beautiful track, perfect vocals, genius remix
Claude VonStroke - The Whistler - Dirtybird
- simplest construct for a track ever that I have to thank Beth P for ID'ing for me from Chris Lake's mix she let me preview; even though it almost certainly doesn't mesh well with my typical sound, I always look for a way to fit it in
Angel Alanis - Do U Like the Way U Feel When U Shake? (Mix 2) - Asquared Musik
- I mean, come on... what's not to love about a track that loops "shake that ass and bounce those tits"!?
The Bongo Man - Ugwanga - Moxi Records
- I bought more production by "The Bongo Man" than essentially any other producer in 2006, so this choice is largely arbitrary; there's very little stuff this guy has produced that I haven't liked ALOT
Vinyl Life - Rhythm Rock You - Rexhouse Music
- damn... just damn...I really know how VL will ever top this track...the more you hear it, the more you love it...techy and evil as it is...
Kobbe & Aftertouch ft. Gina Martina - Slave (Drum Ur Face Mix) - Tribal Traxx
- this is a relatively new addition to my library but, frankly, it's the first track I've heard in a while that I said, "Dayum, I must have that!" when I heard the sample--pure hot
Matt Dekay & Mick Boskamp - Weekender - Audio Therapy
- simply a great track

definitely a few tracks that warrant honorable mention including Danny Tenaglia's "D'Ibiza", a dozen different Jaimy and Peter Presta tracks, but while all of these had their hot moment, they simply didn't have the staying power in my collection to make the top tracks of the year...

[dj intreeg]

Did you come out to FIVE this past Saturday? He straight killed it.

Noo. My girlfriend bought Ursula 1000 tickets at Rams Head Live! in Baltimore and insisted that we go. He sounded pretty good actually, but the place was empty. I woulda much rather been at Hatiras, with out doubt!

Any surprises in his set?

[2rip]

those are my boys!! :D

ok, my top 10.



damage (buick project remix) - tiefschwarz
always (ashley beedle) / people hold on (lisa stansfield) - danny howells
dump truck - cobblestone jazz
lil star (linus loves remix) - kelis
blow (sebastien leger remix) - don diablo
church of jon (james zabiela's THIEFschwarz remix) - depeche mode vs. the church
lucky heather - nic fanciulli
watching you (chris lake remix) - rogue traders
something different to say (roy mclaren mix) - etherfox
carry me away (seb leger) - chris lake
warning siren (buick project remix) - tiefschwarz
dirty laundry (skeewiff remix) - bitter:sweet
take me back to your house (micky slim remix) - basement jaxx

ok 13. 13 tracks.

beth, me & you are so freakin on point with each other sometimes. pretty much everything you listed is on my faves list too. just had to narrow things down to 10 tho. Damage is such a hot track.

If you are at D'fly on Friday I promise to play our funeral song

[xgirl]

Damage is such a hot track.

did you know that it was nominated for a grammy? because it is!! :breakdance: :breakdance: :breakdance:

[2rip]

did you know that it was nominated for a grammy? because it is!! :breakdance: :breakdance: :breakdance:


Whaaaa?? That's craziness. The second I heard that track I tracked down every remix of it. It's been on regular rotation on my radio show.

Her voice is so amazing on that... whoever the singer is.

[xgirl]

wash those X's off your hands silly underage raver! that is tracey thorn from everything but the girl. you knew that, really. you were just fucking with me!

i nominated them. i am going to the grammys with them. it's going to be the most fun i've ever had in my entire life.

[spiggums]

whoever the singer is.

turn in your headphones and dj card right now...

seriously.

[spiggums]

I'm currently workingon my top 10... but I imagine the following are somewhere in there:



lil star (linus loves remix) - kelis
church of jon (james zabiela's THIEFschwarz remix) - depeche mode vs. the church
watching you (chris lake remix) - rogue traders

[xgirl]

chad - do yourself a favor and pick up everything but the girl - temperamental RIGHT NOW. it will change your life.

[Broken Home]

- Bootyheads - The Bomb
IAWTC

[spiggums]

my current top tunes of the year is a list of 26.. it will take me a while to delete things off of this and order them into a top 10

[Broken Home]

tiga - pleasure from the bass
prodigy - girls (rogue elements remix)
kid 606 - catstep (hrvatski remix)
gnarls barkley - smiley faces
dj shadow - artifact
cut chemist - the garden
bloodhag - orson scott card
Bootyheads/Aquasky - The Bomb
aceyalone - fire
justin timberlake - sexyback. :ontome:

[spiggums]

Ok... I'm putting this out there... and I'll likely think to change it tomorrow and either reorder it, or take something from my honorable mentions category and replace it in the top 10... but here goes:

1. Jamie Lidell - When I Come Back Around (Freeform Reform) -- This remix is the funkiest goddamned thing I've heard all year... it's things like this (even though the decision was made before this was released) that made me want to bring Anu/FF5 to DC for my birthday
2. Depeche Mode vs The Church - Church of Jon (James Z's THIEFschwartz remix) -- Fanciulli dropped this the night I played with him and Woolford. Needless to say I kirked the fuck out!
3. Pet Shop Boys - Sodom (Trentemoller remix) -- Trentemoller works his magic on my favorite band... nothing more needs to be said here.
4. Lindstrom - I Feel Space (Freeform Reform) -- The only thing about this track which disappoints me is that I never heard it when I wasn't DJ'ing. I HATE songs that run near ten minutes or more. This one clocks in at nearly 12. But it keeps itself fresh all the way through. When the bassline kicks in at about 4 minutes in, hearing this on the dancefloor is about the sexiest fucking thing I have ever heard. I mean, i seriously hear this and feel about the same sensations as I get from an orgasm... minus the stickiness.
5. Kelis - Lil Star (Linus Loves remix) -- this shit's gonna take dance floors by storm.
6. Motor - 1 X 1 (Phil Kieran Remix) -- this is some dirty, nasty electro tech shit that blows my mind everytime I hear it.
7. Rogue Traders - Watching You (Chris Lake remix)/Sebastien leger - Hypnotized (Chris lake remix) -- I'm just giving these both the same slot for convenience's sake. Both are fantastic... and demonstrate why Chris Lake was a dominant producer of the year..
8. Alloy Mental - We Have Control -- this shit destroys dancefloors...
9. Depeche Mode - Martyr (Booka Shade Full Vocal Mix) -- I honestly prefer this mix to the original. it's brilliantly done with a great use of a sample from Behind The Wheel.
10. Metric - Monster Hospital (MSTRKRFT Remix) -- Its the intro to this that really gets me... which makes it only really good for an intro track to a prime time slot... but fuckin hell it's hot.

also, old track of 2006: while only 3 years old, I somehow found Da Brat - Boom (Tommie Sunshine's Brooklyn Fire Remix) find its way into a ton of sets this year and had people rocking over it.

and, finally, my honorable mentions (in no particular order):
Shapemod (feat Snax) - Love's Too Much (S036 Mix)
Shlavens & D-Lav feat The Little Blonde - Back For More (D-Lav's Dub)
Mark Knight feat Katherine Ells - Insatiable (Buick Project Mix)
Daisy Daisy - Michelle Plays Ping Pong (Vicarious Bliss Match Point Remix)
Jon Aquavivia & Luetzenkirchen - No Fear (Luetzenkirchen Remix)
The Presets - Girl & The Sea (Cut Copy Mix)
Booka shade - In White Rooms
Cicada - The Things You Say (Dirty South Mix)
Misc. - B Movie 6:00 AM
Bodyrox - Yeah Yeah (Electro mix)
Green Velvet - Shake & Pop (Mark Grant Mix)
Bitter:Sweet - Dirty Laundry (Morgan Page remix)

[Cortex]

I woulda much rather been at Hatiras, with out doubt!

Any surprises in his set?

He played a smoking hot new remix of "Something About You" that tore the roof off the place. And then he followed it with this dark, moody-ass track that he had actually finished up in his hotel room that day. That monster seriously transported everyone on the dancefloor to a different place.

[ramz]

Jon Aquavivia & Luetzenkirchen - No Fear (Luetzenkirchen Remix)wow... that's the first track that anyone's even mentioned that I actually own... :D

[john c]

... John 00 Fleming - Rasa Lila (John C Remix) - J00F
- spot on hot production and it certainly doesn't hurt that I love pimpin local stuff ...

Something about you? The Five for Fighting song? I think there is a Level 42 song also by the same name. Or I could just be totally confused. This has been known to happen. I like it when dj's actually think work the night before a set. That's what's up. :bananarider:

[spiggums]

there is, in fact, a Level 42 song... probably their biggest hit...

although now I'm thinking I gotta dig up that old remix of World Machine...

[dj intreeg]

some folks try
to multiply
from sunrise to sunset
leave behind
more of their kind
so no one will forget
but that ain't where I'm coming from - today
those easy girls don't turn me on - anyway
I wanna know where my pride has gone
the party's over
caught in a dream
inside this world machine

It's a remake of the Level 42 song. The Hatiras 'original' was one my top 10 of 2006 - it's a serious tune.

check it:

http://www.blowmedia.com/music/blod013.shtml

But yeah at Five he played an absolutely wicked remix - it gave me goosebumps.

[2rip]

Ah, wow.... Euphoria thanks for reminding me about Crank. That was probably the biggest tune in 2006 just judging from what I've seen. I think almost every jock has dropped that and it still continues to destroy.

[ramz]

I think in terms of sheer magnitude there were bigger tracks than Crank. Take Off, Yeah Yeah, PATT, Sexyback...etc...

3. Grooveman "Bangin the Electro" << love all the scratch samples in this one
4. Ron Reeser & Matt Frost "Around(Hatiras & Macca rmx)" << this one gets me all hot in the pantalones much like the next track
5. Implicit "Renegade Master 2006" << at the time i was listening to this, Suneel was jumping up and down trying to rip my head off
6. Grant Nelson "SpellBound" << love the piano work on this one, mmm
7. Moby "Jam for the ladies (Jason Nevins club blaster mix)" << nice rework
8. Primo "Cuban Blues" << perfect summer track right here
9. Dan Hartman "Relight my fire" << fav whitelabel of the year

[ramz]

I agree, which is why none of those tracks mentioned show up in my top 10... :wink:

definitely not psytrance... straight tribal progressive with a smattering of trancey pads... I <3 that track...

[spiggums]

wow.
BAP is gonna kill me now..

[twochordcool]

chad - do yourself a favor and pick up everything but the girl - temperamental RIGHT NOW. it will change your life.

Better yet, pick up the CD "Walking Wounded" and try and track down "Future of the Future (Stay Gold)"

And on a side note, I know dance music is in a sorry state of affairs when you put up this Tiefschwarz / Buick Project thing up to any of the earlier EBTG stuff.

:)

[spiggums]

hey look... twochordtool is ripping on the "current state of music" without offering anything positive again...

color me surprised.

[xgirl]

future of the future was on temperamental darling, and it was half written by deep dish.

i love walking wounded, but as a whole piece, i think temperamental is damn near perfection.

[xgirl]

and you should totally have a conversation with my dad. he doesn't think a decent song has been written since the 60s.

[twochordcool]

hey look... twochordtool is ripping on the "current state of music" without offering anything positive again...

FINE!

HERE'S A FEW THAT I DID LIKE A LOT!:


Kaito - Your Brilliant Flowers

Dino Da Cassino - Don't You (Forget About Me)

Tommyboy & Mannel - Naturelize

Skystate - Soundflowers EP

Sharam PATT Party All The Time (Tocodisco's Bombenalarm Mix)

Underworld - Play Pig (Buick Project Remix 2)

Justin Timberlake - Sexyback (Dean Coleman Remix)

Starecase - Vapour Trails

Slacker - Let Me Stay

Steve Porter meets Groovecreator - 1990

Ali Ajami & Chris Micali - Wish I Loved You

Peace Division - Club Therapy (John Ciafone Dub Mix)


I'M NOT SAYING IT'S ALL BAD, I'M JUST SAYING THAT IT SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN BETTER IN THE PAST, WITH MORE OF IT!

[twochordcool]

future of the future was on temperamental darling, and it was half written by deep dish.

i love walking wounded, but as a whole piece, i think temperamental is damn near perfection.

You're not educating me at all - nothing I haven't already known for ages - I just think Walking Wounded is so much better than Temeramental..........and Future of the Future is probably in the all time top 50 - absolutely essential - I've had it for years on CD single, on Deep Dish Junk Science, and I just recently picked it up on vinyl for the fun of it.

:)

[Cortex]

Starecase - Vapour Trails


The Matt Rowan and Jaytech mix of this was really, really good.

[ramz]

and you should totally have a conversation with my dad. he doesn't think a decent song has been written since the 60s.
continuous mixing the four tops like whoa...

[2rip]

I think in terms of sheer magnitude there were bigger tracks than Crank. Take Off, Yeah Yeah, PATT, Sexyback...etc...


PATT was huge but really only stuck for a minute before everyone in the world was bitching about it.

Yeah Yeah is totally still sticking so I'd have to vote that this is in the top 2 hugest of the year. But Crank is definitely there as well. Not because I like the song but because of the amount of play it has received. Every dj I know jumped on that records cock as soon as it came out and there's still a heavy number of people still playing it. When you hear either of these tracks in the future you're going to turn to your friends and say "That was totally 2006."

[Cortex]

Ok, I gotta say it.

I *HATE* the D.Ramirez remix of Yeah Yeah. And Lost. And all the other stuff that sounds exactly like that.

That to me is like the Little Jon of dance music - really annoying yet somehow catchy/accessible.

[spiggums]

I *HATE* the D.Ramirez remix of Yeah Yeah. And Lost. And all the other stuff that sounds exactly like that.


every time I've ever heard someone rock that remix of Yeah Yeah.. all I can think is "why would you play that when there's the electro mix?"...

[ramz]

ramz di'nt buy it... :shrug:/:elad:

[ramz]

Also never jumped on the D. Ramirez bandwagon... seems to me to own one of his tracks is to own them all... Ronda bought Yeah Yeah, and I knew I didn't need to explore the guy's production any more... :D

[xgirl]

i'm way into the remix of electro disco.

[Cortex]

Also never jumped on the D. Ramirez bandwagon... seems to me to own one of his tracks is to own them all... Ronda bought Yeah Yeah, and I knew I didn't need to explore the guy's production any more... :D

His 2005 was way different and cooler than his 2006 shit.

And is it true that D.Ramirez and Mason (who did Exceeder) are the same person? Because Exceeder was cool.

[SCHLiTZ]

i'm way into the remix of electro disco.

This one, the remix of Katcha's Touch of God, and Audio Damage are getting some play by me.

I wore out the remix of Yeah Yeah in about a month.

Mason = C. Berrier , Iason Chronis

im having trouble coming up with my top 10. too hard!
this was a great yr for music. SO many good tunes. In 2005
was struggling to find music. Then again i caught the electro bug this yr.

[twochordcool]

When you hear either of these tracks in the future you're going to turn to your friends and say "That was totally 2006."

Well, that has been my point exactly about crappy music - I try to buy great music that sounds timeless and won't be irrelevant in a year.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - too many people are more concerned with "new" than they are with "good".

Sadly, and with no offense to anyone here, I look at a lot of these "top 10 for 2006" lists and I know that in 10 years time NONE of these tunes would have any shot at making the "top 100 of the last decade" list!

That tells you something.

:)

[twochordcool]

Ok, I gotta say it.

I *HATE* the D.Ramirez remix of Yeah Yeah. And Lost. And all the other stuff that sounds exactly like that.

That to me is like the Little Jon of dance music - really annoying yet somehow catchy/accessible.

It's ATROCIOUS.

period.

[ramz]

aren't we just a ray of golden sunshine?

lets see your list.

:keyboard:

[twochordcool]

Pay attention buddy.




Kaito - Your Brilliant Flowers

Dino Da Cassino - Don't You (Forget About Me)

Tommyboy & Mannel - Naturelize

Skystate - Soundflowers EP

Sharam PATT Party All The Time (Tocodisco's Bombenalarm Mix)

Underworld - Play Pig (Buick Project Remix 2)

Justin Timberlake - Sexyback (Dean Coleman Remix)

Starecase - Vapour Trails

Slacker - Let Me Stay

Steve Porter meets Groovecreator - 1990

Ali Ajami & Chris Micali - Wish I Loved You

Peace Division - Club Therapy (John Ciafone Dub Mix)

[john c]

PATT was huge but really only stuck for a minute before everyone in the world was bitching about it.

Yeah Yeah is totally still sticking so I'd have to vote that this is in the top 2 hugest of the year. But Crank is definitely there as well. Not because I like the song but because of the amount of play it has received. Every dj I know jumped on that records cock as soon as it came out and there's still a heavy number of people still playing it. When you hear either of these tracks in the future you're going to turn to your friends and say "That was totally 2006."

Crank is dope as fuck, still is. I think id play it out still honestly :bolt:

[daniella downs]

i'm way into the remix of electro disco.


it's called electric disco.

and that tune is awful compared to the original plump djs tune.

and his mix of yeah yeah is completely awful compared to the original bodyrox tune.

i often get copies that are marked incorrectly and it makes me insane. thanks for the info, i shall update my itunes so it appears correct.

[spiggums]

remember what I was saying about needing to amend my shit after a day or so?

I totally forgot easily my favorite track of the year (not so much that I forgot it, I just somehow thought it came out LAST year)...

and while twochordtool is going to say that it's not something that will be remembered as a big song a year or so from now... he's wrong...

the tune:
Tiga - (far from) Home (Speed of Sexor Reprise)

[assron]

I dunno if anyone cares about minimal techno, but the top 10 tunes of the year for me were:

Martin Buttrich - Full Clip EP [Planet E]
always love the stuff Buttrich does for Loco Dice... but this one was way more classic.

Dominik Eulberg & Gabriel Ananda - Harzer Roller [Traum]
the track just breathes so well. best track by either Ananda or Eulberg, and that's saying something.

GummiHz - Elastic [Mobilee]
if this record is playing, everyone is dancing like retards. never heard a record quite as weird as this one go down so well so consistently. drums!

Quixote - Adoquin [Vakant]
it's mnml techno but it's clearly influenced by some of the better new dubstep stylings. absolute filth.

Rhythm & Sound - Dem Never Know (Sleeparchive Mix)[Burial Mix]
I love Rhythm & Sound... great early night or afterhours stuff here on the remix

Heartthrob - Baby Kate [M_Nus]
I dont care how played out this is, everyone flips out the first time they hear this record programmed well. that counts for something. so simple, so good.

Mike Shannon - Global Pleasurism [Wagon Repair]
The bassline. ooof. nasty stuff. guaranteed floor filler.

Salif Keita - Yamore (Luciano Remix)[Cadenza]
the pawn shop jam... best party I've ever been to, and this record sort of typifies it.

Alex Under - El Encuentro [Plus 8]
Alex was my favorite artist of 2005 by miles, and this record wasnt a letdown. it's one of the few records that can just totally creep you out with disturbing melodies if you dont have your head screwed on at the time. It got a little played out, but that's because it was dope as hell.

Damian Schwartz - Fueron Dos Y Volvio Uno [CMYK]
the Spanish sound that's coming out right now is so damn groovy. really jazzy, really cheese-free.

[xgirl]

i'm going to check these out, i just really started to understand minimal this past year, but am not as knowledgeable about it as i wish to be. there is a fair amount i know by sound but not by name.

[daniella downs]

Killer list Aaron. R&S puts out such top notch tunes. During my recent trip to Germany I picked up a lot of their stuff...the Remixes album is incredible.

I've been pumping the Lee Van Dowski & Quenom album off of Soma a lot lately...

Top 10 coming soon!

shit i'm still trying to figure out minimal. there's some shit that sounds straight up minimal techno but then there's shit that is electro but sounds like minimal glitch and i have no freakin idea what to classify it as. which is a pain for me because i organize my collection based on genre so i at least have an idea of what it is that i'm grabbing for.

perfect example is the Tiefschwarz Fabric 29 session... wtf does that classify as to you? (not to start another genre debate... but there's such thin lines lately)

fuck genres... let's kill

[2rip]

i'm baking a genre pie as we speak

[Unfeign]

As usual, no particular order:

Coldplay - Talk (Thin White Duke Mix) (White)
Lens - Let The Light In (High Intensity)
Kobbe and Austin Leeds - Wonder Where My Girl Is? (White/Pure Music)
Layo and Bushwacka! - Let The Good Times Roll (Agoria Remix) (Endrecordings)
Peace Division pres. The Doped Out Kings - The Stateside EP: Groove Me (White)
ILS - Razorblade (Stranger Mix)
16 Bit Lolitas - Between Dance and Fiction
The Missionairies - Get To Know Ya (White)
Abysum - Future Love (Systematic)
Chris Bohn and Jeff Ramirez - The Other Side (Atel)

[spiggums]

Coldplay - Talk (Thin White Duke Mix) (White)
that's about as much of white label as my ass is black.

[ramz]

Kobbe and Austin Leeds - Wonder Where My Girl Is? (White/Pure Music)yay! another track that I actually own... The partnership of Kobbe and Austin Leeds this year has been a match made in heaven, IMO... Most every track that they've put out has been magic... "La Dance Cultura" that just released on Tweek'd is really pretty great if you haven't heard it yet...

[assron]

I've been pumping the Lee Van Dowski & Quenum album off of Soma a lot lately...


true, there's some good stuff on there. Mike Shannon just did a remix of "Ultimate Desert Ambassador" which is pretty nice imo.

[Unfeign]

that's about as much of white label as my ass is black.


The one that I own is whiter than Enya. Not surprisingly did they put it on a label afterwards, but I was lucky enough to get one of the ol' testpressings.

[spiggums]

it was a remix originally done on commission for the label. I mean, it's great to say you have it in your collection... for instance, I have the white label promo (although official release) that was put out for the Shep Pettibone remixes of Bizzare Love Triangle... but if I posted a chart of my favorite 80s remixes, I wouldn't label it a "white label" cause that would just be silly... it would just come off as trying to make something mainstream appear underground for "cool points"

[2rip]

You're leaving out all the Rennie Pilgrem tracks from this year if you're doing all breaks...

[ramz]

last time I heard someone play that I slapped them... hard...

and it wasn't a weak assed pussy limp wristed slap like you guys are all assuming...
damn, really...? So I couldn't play the scumfrog dub or the alex cabrera extended vocal that I bought at 611 in July? I was looking hard at that record and thinking, "what a cool opener!"

[kindofblue272]

You're leaving out all the Rennie Pilgrem tracks from this year if you're doing all breaks...

i only started playing all breaks a couple months ago. i got a lot of catching up to do. feel free to PM me with the ones i missed out on though. Currently the only Rennie Pilgrem track on my playlist is the Koma & Bones remix of Coming Up For Air . . .

EDIT: oh yeah I also have the Royale remix of CousCous

[rachel progress]

in no particular order ...


1. teamsters - feels like love (soul avengerz remix)
2. spector - narcotic fuel (stel remix)
3. shiloh vs. LP - all those things
4. junkie xl - today (unkle remix)
5. hybrid - hooligan spirit
6. ferry corsten - i love you
7. elite force - heart of darkness (dylan rhymes remix)
8. adam freeland - secrets
9. depeche mode - martyre (booka shade dub)
10. switch - a little bit patchy (eric prydz remix)

[joenice]

10. Stagger- Skream
I absolutely love this tune. the part after the break kills me.

My top ten tunes:

Digital Mystikz - DMZ vs MZN.
Hijak - Butcha
Loefah - System (i will pull this tune up anytime anyone plays it. It's happened before...it will happen again.)
Distance - Traffic
Pinch - Quawalli. I'm glad he listened to me and put this one out.
The entire Burial album.
Skream - Mi Love It.
Digital Mystikz(Coki) - Torture.
Kromestar - Kalawanji
Scuba - Twista. I still remember the looks on everyone's faces in London this past March when i played this tune for the first time. No one had heard it before....tore the place down.

Probably my all-time faves from breaks are anything by Rennie Pilgrem, Rogue Element, Tom Real, and Peter Paul. Unfortunately I've been slack on picking up any breaks so my collection really only extends up to July of this year. Rennie's tracks that I'm thinking offhand were "Gladiator" and "Celebrity" but he put out a freaking arsenal of high quality shit.

[kindofblue272]
