Happy New Year - Our 2010 picks!

Another year chalked up in the books.  How was 2010 for all of you? There was no shortage of action in 2010 with the Olympics in Canada, Volcano eruptions in Europe, oil spills in the gulf, health care reform in the US, and a WMC shift in March that has all sorts of people taking sides.

Regardless of what happened in 2010, we at Headtunes are really looking forward to 2011, as we have some exciting new projects in the works and the fact that the first of the year will be: 1.1.11, this should mean good luck for all of us.

We thought we'd wrap up the year highlighting our top ten tracks, our favorite remix, and our favorite DJ mix of 2010.  There was definitely no shortage of quality tunes out there this year.  Seems like everybody and their mothers are doing edits this year and people are taking the BPM down a bit, but still killing it on the dance floor.  These are in no particular order, would have liked to have done a longer list....but this should suffice. 

Happy New Year everyone!   Be safe where ever your party plans take you! 

Top 10 tracks of 2010: 

1.   Tensnake - Cat Coma (original) - Permanent Vacation
2.   Creatures of Habit - How We Lustre - Solar Disco
3.   ICube - Falling - Versatille France
4.   Agnes - Got to Be Strong - Ornate
5.   Toomy Disco - Age of the Jaguar - So Sound
6.   Bang Bang - Broken (Giom Remix) - Lost My Dog
7.   Audio Soul Project - Mnemosyne - Fresh Meat
8.   Hot Toddy - Down to Dub (Fred Everything Dub) - Smoke n' Mirrors
9.   Audiojack - Shakedown - 20:20 Vision
10. 2 Spare Astronauts - Oh Sheila - Whiskey Disco


Favorite  Remix:



T-Coy - Carino (Greg Wilson re-edit)

For most of the kids out there, the original came out long before they were walking, let alone dancing.....but this is a nod to the crew that started it all back in Manchester at the Hacienda.  Keeping it it true to its roots and adding a little of the GW stamp to the edit.

Favorite DJ Mix: 

This was definitely the year of the podcast.  So many mixes out there, how do you have time to hear them all.  Some of our favorites have been the Fabric series over the years and RA's weekly podcast.  Maybe it one of the few last mixes of the year we listened to....or maybe because it full of surprising deep, indie dance tracks that are a little mellow and a little pulsating all at the same time.  Our favorite DJ mix of this year had to be RA 235 from Jozif. 

This mix is nothing but jams!  And we love our jams.  If you haven't downloaded it and its too late, well you slept on a good one.  

Jozif is part of the Wolf + Lamb crew and we know those guys have had a stellar year in 2010 with all sorts of breakthroughs with Nicolas Jaar and the Soul Clap boys killing it out there.

Keep an eye out for Jozif....I am sure good things are in the works.
