Been a weird old year for music and that, seen the rise of reggaeton, with the near unstoppable despa(ra)cito. We also didn't lose as many people this year apart from Cheggers playing pop and Mika Vainio from Pan Sonic, next year I make a note of all the stuff I've heard thats rocked and sucked but for now have these incomplete memories.
Commercial. Good.
Lotto Boyzz No Don.
Defeat from the jaws of victory time here, year its grime, yeah you can't really find an acapella for this out there, but you want to play it like I hear it, get some old school gabber and just drop it when they have the no don chorus. Perfect.
Swae Unforgettable.
You are unforgettable, Got enough combos for 24 owls. Its that track and there is an acapella so you won't have to hear the shuffling beat on this. Its still boss as an instrumental mind, and the best track of the year.
Drake Passion Fruit.
Ripping off Moodymann should get you shot, but his part in this doesn't get played in the standard radio mix so its included here in the good pile. Another thing that is better played with another track, this time its. Its Me from Club MCM though its a bugger to beat match via Youtube. Wonder if the original passion fruit theme is doable on a real 303?.
Commercial Bad
Katy Perry Swish Swish
Old euro style house circa 1990 as a backing track good, getting Katy Perry to sing on it not so good. Adding Nicki Minaj, what the fuck.
Despacito / Little Tits With CaNCerO / Enrique Iglesias and Sean Paul.
Trust me, reggaeton fucking sucks. Had a lot of this is Spain this year and it gets no better Little Tits track can be changed to say Pendejo which at least is one bonus point. All together now, when i look in your eyes Pendejo.
Underground. Once again not all from this year.
Aphex Twin.
Field day EP was the bomb (though disliked Mt Fuji). Currently looking through the track list for the set he did and remembering the in the beginning bit from the trailer. There is a whole track listing here of the entire set. Me I'm curious how that Rihanna Acapella fits in with the whole.
DKMTL 10 years.
So many good things here but, Levon Vincent, Matrixxman and Legowelt putting up tracks for the 10th anniversary of this legendary label.
DJ Stingray Kern Vol 4.
Possibly the only Electro mix you'll need this year. Quite a few tracks on this and some ace mixing too.
Minecraft ost.
Don't laugh, but this is good, just coz its ubiquitous and that doesn't mean its bad. A mix of chiptune and IDM and all of it's so good. Its out on Ghostly International and was a random charity shop pickup, my favourite thing this year.
