I've actually done a pretty good job of keeping tabs on most genres this year, and have a lot of favorite songs to pick from. Now you tell me what I've missed, damn.

If you must embed youtubes (because really, links will do), go easy on them. I'd hate to not even be able to open this thread in a couple days.

I'll start with some of my favorites:

The Naked and Famous, "Young Blood" (video)

To post youtube links without embedding, do you just need to add the url tag before and after the url?

I hope there is going to be a separate 2010 polls nominations promoting thread, but until then, I would like to point out that the 3BallMTY EP, which you can download for free without even feeling guilty, since it was distributed that way, is good stuff. Still not entirely sure where these rhythms are coming from, but they feel Afro-Latin. (The music itself is mostly out of Monterrey and Mexico City.) But meanwhile, the musical methods are pretty much in the electronic dance music vein.

Only just realised Georgia Anne Muldrow released an album of instrumental early-fusion-jazz sounds this year (think Alice Coltrane meets Sextant) and it's kinda nice:

Ocotea on Youtube

Album (also called Ocotea) on Spotify

Might have nominated a track if I'd found it earlier, but it's not as if it would have garnered many votes...

seandalai, Wednesday, 15 December 2010 02:22 (fourteen years ago)

Oh, and this is great too (though I'm sure proper dance heads will point out it sounds like a bunch of other stuff):

Mano le Tough - Started Running

Spacey house goodness.
