End of the year, time to look back at the many great tracks released this year. But since music isn’t particulary interesting to look at I’ve made a mix, to listen to. Some remarks:

  • I did not prepare a tracklist but improvised a set as usual. I did, obviously, only use tracks from 2011 and tried not to use the same artist or release to much
  • I’ve specialised in popular DnB and Jump-up but the two hours were gone before I got to those genres.
  • I tried some changes to my mixing style to make it cleaner and tighter, and am quite content with the result.
  • I found out I’ve acquired a lot of music in 2011, so part 2 contains only pop tracks

The idea of sharing my best music purchases has been in my head for a while, and now I’m finally putting it into practice. This is the first monthly blog post where I share some of the best new tracks (just the names, obviously, no illegal downloads!) of the past month.

Delta Heavy – Overkill
Overkill/Hold Me – Single
Dom & Roland – Rollstar
Last Chance Saloon/Rollstar – Single
Foreign Concept & Bringa – Cemetery
Shogun Audio Presents – Way of the Warrior
High Contrast feat Tiësto and Underworld – The First Note Is Silent
The First Note is Silent – EP
Nero – New Life
Promises EP
S.P.Y – Bloodshed
Fierce Presents Oblivion – Single
Telekinesis – Sacrifice
Sacrifice/Polaris – Single
Trei & L.A.O.S. – The Light
The Light / Mumbo Jumbo – Single

And for your convienience I’ve put them all in a youtube playlist.

Finally I like to point your attention to this album compiled for the 15th birthday of Drum & Bass Arena. It contains 50 gems ranging from oldskool classics to this year’s hits. Even if you, like me, already have most of the tracks there are probably enough left that make it worth buying (€6.99 on iTunes).
