Still a few weeks to go, but nevertheless...three tunes which I thought were heads and shoulders above anything else this year:

Shackleton - It's Time For Love
Joker - Digidesign
AMadou & Miriam - Ce N'est ce Pas - Bullion remix

Most played LP - Juan Maclean - The Future Will Come. (Actually, most played is Thomas's 'Live At Robert Johnson', but that's a compilation).

Track of the decade is actually surprisingly easy: has to be Rhythm & Sound - King In My Empire. Genius.

Still Going - Untitled Love
Parallel Dance Ensemble - Pizza Turtle Cadillac Yam Who remix
Omar S - Blown Valvetrane

lp: Linkwood - System
or Night Dubbin' if we are allowed comps

track of the decade: DJ Gregory - Attend 1

When i first heard it i thought it was crap (LLV played it in the Box at MOS). I heard it a few weeks later on a LLV mix from Southport and had forgotten all about it and I suddenly needed it badly . I was already big on DJ Gregory at the time after blockparty but had no idea it was him, when i saw it pop up on Juno and listened to it i jumped up and down screaming, a track that had been driving me nuts by my favourite producer of the time and i'd found it. It was a slow burner at first but whenever i played it out people loved it and it became a classic after a few years. People would ask for it every week when i worked in Uptown Records, 4/5 years after being released. Now it's a UK Funky staple, no shame in that. It has provided the most joy and interaction with punters of any record over the past decade for me. A simple and genius record that is as house as it comes.


Honorable mention for the 'Dunks - How We Do in NYC mix CD'

Gonna have to think about my selection - only got one so far. Need to go through my records!

[Scotttalkstoyou]

1) Leo Zero - Bon Bon
2) Still Going 'Untitled Love'
3) 40 Thieves 'Don't Turn It Off' (Brennan Green)

Bill Callahan 'Sometimes I Wish We Were An Eagle'

LCD Soundsystem 'Losing My Edge'
- no record had as big or lasting an impact as this (plus it kick started DFA who practically own the decade) so wins in tune of the decade

gold light - the pink noise
under your spell - desire
pumpkin - male bonding

lp - gok - bill wells & maher shal hash baz

single of decade - well the one that i played the most, loved the most and reignited the idea of fandom and excitement with the whole idea of music as statement, cheekiness, love, dancing and exhiliration is
