Mosca - Square One
Omar S - Lift Him Up
Motor City Drum Ensemble - Raw Cuts 6
Deadboy - If U Want Me
Martin Kemp - After The Night
Ghosts On Tape - Predator Mode (Roska RMX)
Martyn - Elden Street

... can think of a lot more too, will leave it at that. I think in terms of bangers Square One takes no prisoners.

Also would like to add these 3..

Julio Bashmore – Around
XXXY – Sing With Us
KDJ - Desire

no way i can choose 3 personal favs.

but the tunes that defined dance music in 2009 (in the UK anyway) are surely:

joker - digidesign
joy orb - hyph mngo
tempz - next hype
fuzzy logic - in the morning

PS just listened to that florence/xx thing for the first time and don't get what the fuss is about at all, found it kind of annoying

gongon wrote: tempz - next hype

YES!
How did i forget this?? Im replacing florence with this badman on my top 3

Darkstar - Aidy's Girl Is A Computer
Sbtrkt - Atomic Peace
Greena - Tenzado

also have to mention

Mosca - Square One
Mosca - Gold Bricks, I See You
Kowton - Stasis (G Mix)
Sully - In Some Pattern
Zomby - Digital Flora/Fauna

and there's a ton of others but this lot are the first that spring to mind.

lol. it's pretty tough to make an end-of-year list that isn't really just a august-december list.

no way I can do three tunes, too many heaters

but I'll do five artists who made 2009 a year to remember for me:

L-Vis 1990
Untold
Julio Bashmore
Joy Orbison
Roska

add to that Hot City, Ramadanman and CVS and those are definitely highlights

Thinking about it this year has been really good for music. A lot of creativity and bangers - and creative bangers. I'm fucked so I dunno if that makes any sense. It sounds like an issue of zoo featuring artists with their norks out.

House has been key.

1.Franky Rizardo-Afrika
2.Rooflight Productions-Writing On My Hand
3.Dennis Ferrer-Sinfonia Della Notte
3.5 Julio Bashmore-Around

Crazy Cousinz - Attract
Roska - Holograph
Hot City - Hot City Bass

i don't normally do this, but gotta say

boomkat would make shit on a stick sound good if you inboxed them asking them to review it.

is bullsh*t. Especially the inbox bit.

boomkat is always on the negative tip, always dissin records and shit, how bout some positive reviews for once, from tha inbox to tha spinbox, give em some much needed props.... they should start an online shop!
