The Best of... 2011 Pt. 3







Nel Oliver - Dream On (The Revenge Edit) /mediafire
from the compilation Reekin'structions by The Revenge (Z Records)

The Revenge released his compilation of edits and remakes Reekin'structions this year which fed the need for this years' The Revenge dose. The best one is this edit by Nel Oliver which is a real nice slow jam which worked well everytime I played it out.



from the album Margaret Dygas (Perlon)

2011 was the year when I started to get soaked in to the more minimal thide of sings. And there isn't much that is so dark and minimal and simple and yet got so much soul than german Margaret Dygas. Her selftitled album was a lesson in less is more which got to me anyway.



from the digital Dark Song EP (Visionquest)

What do you get if you put two italians in Berlin? Probably this beautiful blend of minimalistic funk. A favourite when DJing this year.



from the 12" Visionquest Club Collection (Visionquest)

This years' club banger compilation came from the Visionquest label. Three superb kick-ass-tracks for the club floor. This I think is the best one!



from the 12" Let's All Chant (Hands Of Time Gold)

This is a party animal that works superb with both the clubby and mainstream crowd. A real crossover banger! Also a favourite when DJing this year. It's nice to have those tracks that you know will get the crowd crazy everytime!

The best of... 2011 Pt. 2


I'll only post one song tonight, but there'll be more tomorrow. But this one song is worth all its weight in vinyl!

from the 12" Gin Nation (Running Back)

2011 was the year when the limits between edits, remixes and original recordings faded away. The only thing that mattered was if it was a good song or not. The masters in manufacturing good music out of what they love this year was Tiger & Woods, which they made very clear with their full length album Through The Green. Continuing from last years' bomb Out Of Bounds EP with the superb Love In Camodgia it seems like we'll be hearing more from Tiger & Woods in the future. Making Imagination's classic Music & Lights sound so 2011 is something not everyone can do.

The Best of... 2011



It's time to summarize the past year. And what better way to do so than to list some great songs? Well, that's the way I roll so that's what I'm going to do. I hope you'll like it!
When it comes to some like The Weeknd for example I could have listed a whole album/mixtape but instead I've chosen the best song. I've also tried not to chose too many edits of old songs, with some exceptions of course. Well, let's get started with a few songs in no particular order. More songs tomorrow...



from the album Let England Shake (Island)

From one of this years strongest albums comes this emotional song from PJ Harvey. I have always had a hard time with PJ. I can't really put my finger on what it is, but this time she's nailed it. Let England Shake is in my opinion her best work so far and The Glorious Land is a masterpiece.



from the album Circuital (ATO)

It seems that for those who have been into My Morning Jacket for some time there are other favourites that they hold stronger than their latest album Circuital, but for me that haven't been into them before... I'm saved! There are many to choose from on this great album. I've chosen the simplest and most beautiful piece.



from the mixtape House Of Balloons (the-weeknd.com)

House Of Balloons is the mixtape/album that I've listened to most this year and I never get tired of it. I always find new depths and new favourite parts in songs that I hadn't taken notice of before. Of the three free to download mixtapes that The Weeknd released this year House Of Balloons is the definite masterpiece and this song is the definite theme for this new canadian rnb movement led by The Weeknd and Drake. This is a classic that I will return to over and over again. I hope The Weeknd's mixtapes will be available to buy on vinyl soon so there is something to save for the future. Digital media fades away so easily.



from the mixtape Echoes Of Silence (the-weeknd.com)

Just when we thought that we wouldn't hear more from Abel Tesfaye (The Weeknd's real name) this year he surprised us all with a third mixtape in a year. There's not often that you get to see so much productivity in a person with so much talent these days, but The Weeknd is in a universe by himself. In Echoes Of Silence he delivers one of his strongest tracks Montreal where we also get to hear him sing in french. Now I'm waiting to hear the other great canadian to sing in french as well...



from the album Take Care (Young Money)

Mixed emotions, that's the best way to express how I felt towards Drake... Until now! From his previous album I loved Find Your Love, but I've been a little ashamed of admitting it. But this time I'm hooked for real. Marvins Room helped me to realise that Drake is one of our times greatest rnb singers and composers. His latest album Take Care makes me think about Marvin Gaye's album Here My Dear rather than any contemporary artist, and that is an achievement in itself. Drake and The Weeknd has saved rnb from ruin and made it interesting again after many years of being doomed to mainstream trash billboard lists. Having Dennis Graham (Jerry Lee Lewis' drummer) as father and Larry Graham (Graham Central Station/Sly & The Family Stone) and Hi Records guitarist Teenie Hodges as uncles he couldn't probably have better pre-conditions. The future in rnb comes from Canada.

The Mama's And The Papa's - Do You Wanna Dance

Sundays are good days for takin it slow and just be unpretentious and listen to those beautiful songs that just stops the time. Today I've ripped the beautiful Do You Wanna Dance from The Mama's And The Papa's debut album. This little masterpiece was also heavily sampled by Jens Lekman. Happy Sunday!

A Taste Of Honey - World Spin


Disco Dave's back to give you that good old music that you love. This time it's a rediscovery that has caught my ears. The b-side to the monsterhit Boogie Oogie Oogie. If you like this you should also check out Paul Johnson's version We Can Make The World Spin from 1998.

from the 7" Boogie Oogie Oogie/World Spin (Capitol, 1978)
