Hey folks,
Aside from mixes & pirate radio, i always *thought* compilation albums were a good place to discover new artists, or hear tracks by known folks you haven't heard before. What's the best compilation you've snatched up this year?
Very recently, i've gotten -
Soul Jazz Records Presents: Riddim Box (
http://www.souljazzrecords.co.uk/releases/?id=20988)
Worth the Weight - Britsol Dubstep Classics (
http://boomkat.com/cds/353317-various-p ... p-classics)
Scientist Launches Dubstep Into Outer Space - Dubstep Originals (
http://www.piccadillyrecords.com/shop/p ... ?pid=72914)
...and i have to say Future Bass on Soul Jazz is still my top pick. lol.

Would have gotten that for sure.
My favorite track this year is on that Nu Levels comp. That El-B/Burial track... is... a... fucking... roller.

Ah yes,
Re:Call to mind deserves mention too, but I have that stacked with the d&b stuff. Night Slugs Allstars isn't out yet but judging by the tracklist it's a worthy contender as well,
although they seem to have picked the tracks that I tought were ok and not fabulous

The Deep Medi compilations weren't digital only, you can still buy them on CD as well.
