See I remembered another couple already...

Caspa - Lions Roar goes straight into the top 10 and buried in the other 75 is Little Boots - Meddle (AC Slater and DJ Skeet Skeet Reimx featuring Goldilocks)

Top 100 of 2009

Hey kids, here's my top tracks of the past year. Some of them you're used to rocking out on the Embargo dancefloor to, some of them not so. It's by no means extensive and I'm sure there's a few I've missed. Let me know your thoughts, your personal favourites, and any you think I've missed out! I set a couple of rules, every track must have been released (officially or otherwise) this year, no artist is featured more than once and no remixer is featured twice either. This means that there are a few notably omissions such as the Doorly remix of Bonkers which is undoubtably Top 100 material but is neither my favourite Dizzee track or Doorly remix of this year. Similarly there would be more tracks by Jack Beats, Deadmau5, La Roux, Skream, Rusko and a few others if not but I've tried to keep it as broad as possible. Anyhow, here we go if anyones interested...

DEBATE OPEN!

SAM VOIDOID'S CURRENT OBSESSION TRACK(S)

First of all comes the excitement of the first proper Hot Chip single from their forthcoming new album...

Hot Chip - One Life Stand 

(video link only I'm afraid, you try finding a copy that hasn't been subjected to a cease and desist order)


I don't know what came first, the shitty rave music or the drugs...

Either way, gotta love that breakdown.




Every single media outlet in the world is calling these the new CSS. It's lazy but true. Except Le Corps Mince de Francoise have a far greater capacity to be Finnish, create etheral harmonies, ride bikes and add a gorgeous Oriental twist.





A more mellow moment from the undisputed king of neo-classical soul. If he's not the most played artist on mainstream radio next year then I'll start taking Blink 182 requests again...




Because Misfits is pretty damn good and because this choice of theme song is even better...

The Rapture - Echoes


And some dirty dubstep remixes just because I care...

The Police - Message In A Bottle (Fresh Direct Remix)

Sidney Sansom ft. Wizard Sleeve - Riverside (Let's Go) (Breakage Remix)



Saturday or Tuesday playlists will be up next week, providing I remain sober enough to write down my set

SAM VOIDOID'S CURRENT OBSESSION TRACK

Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs - Moon Hits The Mirrorball



Now as if the band name wasn't enough to make you fall in love. Or the title of the track. Or the fact they are currently releasing their records on Greco-Roman which is part run by Joe of Hot Chip. Or the lovingly cute artwork. Or the list of band members on their myspace consisting of every dinosaur they can possibly think of (my personal favourite is achillobator). Or maybe its just the fact they produce great party music.

SAM VOIDOID'S CURRENT OBSESSION TRACK

You know you're onto a good thing when your first single is limited to 500 7" only copies and none other than one of the biggest names in the past 20 years of dance music drops a remix just weeks later. Ou Est Le Swimming Pool are the hottest new thing in new-wave synth-pop and AVH's remix takes things just that little bit further. Listen and just try and tell me that synth riff at 2:10 doesn't get you every single time.

Single Released on Young & Lost Club in September 2009

BASS CONNECTION PROMO MIX...

You lucky, lucky things. In anticipation of our newest Saturday residents debut on the bottom floor this Saturday for our extra special Hallowe'en Vampire Party whey have provided us with a FREE mix for you to download. Have a listen and see what delights will be deconstructing the soundsystem in our dirty, seedy, red underground lair.

Bass Connection Promo Mix - House / Dubstep / Booty Bass


Enjoy!

THE BASS CONNECTION CREW RIDDIM OF THE WEEK

Crookers ft. Kelis - No Security

SAM VOIDOID'S ETERNAL CLASSIC

Fortunately nothing to do with the god-awful TV show that stole it's name, this is a 1980 hit from the Canadian new-wave synth-poppers. Whether you're an office clerk or not, we all have moments where we want to escape and that sax solo puts me on Echo Beach every single time.

SAM VOIDOID'S CURRENT OBSESSION TRACK

A gorgeous Italo-disco inspired single from Ali Love, all sugary synths and cosmic honey vocals. Columbia Records obviously didn't forsee the huge disco-pop revivial when they dropped him in 2007 after a couple of brilliant singles but with tracks like this (out on Back Yard, Nov 16) he looks like finally making that transition from East London's best kept secret to bona fide pop-star.

Also check his early singles 'Camera On A Pole' and 'Secret Sunday Lover', b-side 'Rock n Roll Control' and his collaboration with The Chemical Brothers, 'Do It Again'.
