The 30 Hottest Songs From the Blogosphere: September 2010
This month’s best of the blogosphere post is dominated by dubstep, synth laden dance, and filter disco. I’ve been gearing up for a series of disco sets, so that might be why I’m feeling it more – hip hop has taken a bit of a backseat for me over the last three weeks, despite my trip down to NYC for Rock The Bells. My favourite song I heard this month is, by...

Tuesday Top Ten: August 31, 2010
This week’s top ten, coming in rather late (sorry!) is chock full of new, and new’ish dubstep, deep house, and nu disco. It’s so late that I’m not even going to try and say anything insightful, but I will make mention of the video for Magnetic Man’s new(ish) single I Need Air, which is an achievement in terms of capturing the energy of the song in...

I found myself listening to a lot of piano grooves, and house with soulful vocals a la India, whom I am a huge fan of. The first is a pick by Joey Negro, one of the kings of disco house, for his May top ten list on Beatport. It’s...

Tuesday Top Ten: August 17, 2010
Definitely keepin’ it fresh this week – everything is from within the last 7 days, excepting the Call On Me remix and the bonus track, which I’m still playing daily. I guess that makes this week’s top ten more of a roundup than a top list really. Editorializing these things is a risky business when you don’t put the time in, because either way you...
