2012 Highlights

There were an abundance of awesome music released in 2012, making it yet another difficult year to summarize concisely. We did our best to narrow it down for this mix, but (like every year since we've started) we easily had enough picks to fill a 3 CD set. Many of our top tracks didn't make the cut, but the 30 tracks on here certainly make for a decent glimpse at 2012.

Give Me The Beat

For this post, we're gonna step out of the bedroom and into the big room. The words "big room" are often a turn off, but Chris Lum's flip of Keep On Jumpin gives this a classic DJ Sneak style flavor. Have a listen:

Face Love Anew

Today, San Francisco's Honey Soundsystem & Berlin's CockTail d'Amore released stereogamus' riiiiiidiculously good debut single, Face Love Anew, and on limited vinyl to boot! Stereogamus' production game is tight & the remixes are both excellent, but Shaun J. Wright's vocals really push it over the edge. You might recognize Shaun as a vocalist for Hercules And Love Affair. Like on the Hercules tracks, he delivers a huge, soulful performance. I rarely say this, but don't sleep - this is going to be huge!

Order the 12" from Dark Entries Records or grab the digital release (with additional remixes from Kim Ann Foxman, Horse Meat Disco, Miracles Club & The Carry Nation) on December 11 from any of the usual outlets.

Edit Service 4

I'm A Cliche recently launched their Edit Service series on Soundcloud, where they give away a new edit every two weeks. Their newest offering, Edit Service 4, is my favorite to date. Red Axes brilliantly reworks punk poet John Cooper Clarke, transforming I Don't Want To Be Nice into a more rhythmically driven jam. Grab a free download from their Soundcloud page:

I Want You For Myself

Razor N Tape's first 12" of J Kriv edits hasn't left my bag in months. Both sides are pure fire. Grab this freebie & you'll see why.

I'm not sure if the first 12" is still available, but you can still scoop their new white label of Late Night Tuff Guy edits from Juno.

Motha

The System (as in "You Are In My System!") are back with a new single in 2012, and the Party Bros. have a club ready remix for you! This track serves as a nice reminder of the influence Mic Murphy had on today's indie dance vocalists. Grab a free download from the Bros' Mysteries Of The Mind imprint:

Frank Ocean - Pyramids (DJ Apt One Disco Dub)

My take on my favorite tune on Frank Ocean’s newest record. If you have heard me play at any pool parties or laid-back outdoor venues this summer, you have certainly heard this remix. Now you can have a copy for personal use. Use this song to orchestrate your own outer space pulp-sex drama, at home or on the go.
