Meh I wouldn't consider these the best tracks of the year but I decided to do tracks most people would overlook. Except for Beyond. That is definitely the best track of the year for me. Anyways everything else isn't really ranked besides Beyond. I just sort of threw them together. So tracks you missed this year that were pretty good:


1. Distance - Beyond
2. Youngsta & Seven - Masai Mara (Technically released December 2009 but it gets a pass b/c there wasn't enough time for it last year)
3. Mr Joseph - You Don't Understand
4. Blame ft. Ruff Sqwad - On My Own (Drumsound & Bassline Smith Remix)
5. Falty DL - My Friends Will Always Say
6. Blind Prophet - When Will We Be Alone?
7. James Blake - I Only Know (What I Know Now)
8. Janner & Acky- Ophelia
9. Synkro - Departure
10. Psycho Mantis - Death Star

Some special mentions of more popular tracks -

Joker - Tron
Guido - Mad Sax

Things I hope for in 2011:
-Brostep to come to a close...or at least for dj's to learn to use it tastefully instead of an hour of the same thing over and over. Peaks and valleys people....PEAKS AND VALLEYS
-I get signed and get some releases out
-People stop using the word purple to describe things (unless you are somehow related to Joker's camp)
-The death of Deadmau5 and his pet project skrillex
-Moar Sloth Logic, less Nit Grit (dude is a talented producer on both fronts, I just dig that Sloth Logic ish a lot and would like to see more!)
-To play and attend festivals like woahhh now billygoat
-To see some dance and bass music things happen (performances, music videos etc...) (i'm lookin at some of you to use a track of mine for a dope video *cough* kai, tmy and the lot *cough*)
