While I noticed that some music journalists are already busy preparing their ‘best-music-of-the-year’ lists, I’d like to start with an October chart, as it’s only November 3rd! The first in what could become a tradition.
In no particular order, my five favorite tracks of October 2010:
1 Shed – 44A (Hardwax Forever!) (Ostgut Ton CD14)
My favorite track from the brilliant album The Traveller by Berlin’s fines Shed.
2 Axel Boman – Purple Drank (Pampa Records 04)
A great moody release on dj Koze’s imprint Pampa Records.
3 Gold Panda – India Lately (Ghostly International 123)
A great track from the album Lucky Shiner. Reminds me a bit of Caribou and Four Tet.
4 Recloose – Get There Tonight (Rush Hour Recordings 112-12-1)
A re-release on Amsterdam’s finest Rush Hour label, originally released in 1999 but still sounding fresh.
5 Mau – Erown Byes (Rimini 01)
A slow building disco edit, released as a white label vinyl that I luckily discovered at ADE10. [iPad/iPhone user and can’t see the embedded SoundCloud player above? Tap here!]
Did I overlook a great gem? Please let me know and I’ll check it!
