What a great year 2012 was, music-wise. My tastes ranged from ambient to chillwave, deep house (my favorite of the year), nu-disco, nu-deep, softcore trap, future garage, industrial, etc. One thing for sure, dubstep was seriously waning before but 2012 definitely killed it for me. It was likely the result of Skrillex and his type of music (which cast a bad light on true dubstep) showing up in every commercial and advertisement. Below are some of my faves from the past year, they might’ve been released prior to 2012 but were new to me!
Flight Facilities ft. Jess – Foreign Language ( Elizabeth Rose Remix )
Azari & III – Hungry for the Power ( Jamie Jones Remix )
Switch ft. Andrea Martin – I Still Love You ( Reset Safari Remix )
Rampa – Everything
Flight Facilities ft. Grovesnor – With You ( Danny Daze 5AM Remix )
Sono – Keep Control ( Eats Everything Rework )
NTFO & Karmon – Nobody Else
Jessie Ware – Running ( Disclosure Remix )
TJ Kong, Nuno Dos Santos ft. Jemini – Once Upon a Rhyme ( Jozif Remix )
Ben Pearce – What I Might Do
Ultraista – Gold Dayz ( Maribou State Remix )
Major Lazer – Get Free ( Adriatique’s Lazers Never Die Rework )
Some concert highlights are definitely Disclosure, SBTRKT, Maya Jane Coles, Art Department and TEED. Here’s hoping that 2013 is even better!
