Myself and the other writers of this blog had the idea to start up a new project in early April.  What has come of our effort has been unbelievably rewarding. I’d like to thank all of the artists who keep sending us music, all of our readers, and the writers personally. Keep doing you.

Below are the lists of our favorite aspects of music for the year of 2009. This year was an incredibly good year for all genres, especially the ones we regularly feature on this page. Electronic music is exploding in all directions right in front of us, and we are lucky to be in such an exciting time for it. Next year we will try to feature a wider array of artists, everything from folk to rock to hip-hop along with the usual styles we post. Be sure to bookmark this page, you will not be disappointed :).

Again, I cannot thank our readers enough for coming back to this page. Please add your own two cents to this whole “favorites” thing in the comments section, we would love to hear everyone’s opinion. Without further ado…

Sweden’s Style of Eye is one of the only people who can make techno music have the fun of the most ridiculous bmore you can imagine. Needless to say, this Essential Mix is one of the best in a while; filled almost entirely of his own productions, he brings heater after heater to the infamous decks (if you get an Essential Mix, you’ve basically made it in dance music). Tracklist after the jump.

Leicester at the moment but constantly between my home town Lincoln and
around London.

Little Boots and just finished a remix for Frankmusik. I’m also in the process of
doing a remix for a spazz metal band called Rolo Tomassi, who are a sick
bunch of peeps from Sheff. Working on a load of more of my own material as
