Resident Advisor Top Ten 2010

Paul1979

any thoughts?

personally i think the top labels list is great, couldnt agree more with Rush Hour being number 1, they are turning into an amazing label

http://www.residentadvisor.net/feature.aspx?1266

however the top ten in the dj list is full of the same, no suprises in the top five!

have to agree with the labels list, some of my favourites in there alright!

jtsuited

yeah labels spot on.

the dj chart/list is bloody abysmal. Seth troxler at no. 3?????????wtf!

jonnny68

Labels list is good R & S records is legendary and should be no 1,.the DJ;s list is even worse than DJ Mag in my book:eek:

eZe^

They really do have a massive hard on for Ricardo Villalobos, I really like the guy, he has a few serious tunes, but surely they can find some new up and coming guys that deserve to fill a few of the top 10 spots instead of the same old same old.

Is it bad that the only one in that top 5 DJ's, that I have heard of is Richie Hawtin!:eek:

Depends on what style of music you are into, but yeah pretty much. If you want to be part of the Techo Snob club you better get studing!!

What's Techo and why do you have to prostitute yourself to be part of the club?

Zascar

Lol, that should have been "Techno" and "Studying"... I'm still asleep today...

Half the list is either Fabric, Kompakt or Ostgut Ton

They definitely have their favourites.

Sebastian Mullaert must have been No. 21....

Edit: complications? All these spelling mistakes, what were you up to in that fancy club this weekend young Zascar?

I presume you mean compilations?

The gimp of Holden. Bent backwards I'd say.

Nah just wing it. Occasionally say a tune sounds alright, make a derogatory comment about Tiesto and Deadmau5 every few months and you'll be grand...

I await their top 20 albums with bated breath.

Dunno bout that, been many late entries I've only discovered in the last couple of weeks - shot straight to the top too in the case of that ASC one!

Aye, that's a great album. He's got some quality mixes floating around in the internets somewhere too.

Jeff, while I wouldn't agree with Troxler at 3, if you've ever seen him you'll know he's an amazing Dj!

FLYNN-DOG

Also, WTF on Rush Hour being no.1 - that Ron Hardy reissue got serious props on RA - a 5/5 no less - BUT IT WAS A FCUKING REISSUE ffs - ok, so Kirk and c2 are legends but still. How Suol didn't get on there I don't know. And Diynamic - not cool enough for RA I reckon.

no other label came close to rush hour this year

new stuff:
kink/neville watson-metropole
hunee-bobos free in paradise
Rick Wilhite-Vibes Album
tom trago-voyage direct
house of jezebel-love and happiness

reissue:
Virgo album
the unreleased trax stuff
early KDJ Records
anthony shakir comp

the way they run their business/label/shop etc is the model that most small dance labels will have to follow in coming years

check out the interview with the owner on RA, really interesting

On the new front they had an unreal year- the Dexter release, and all the cosmin trg/falty dl stuff.

My favourite reissue of theirs was the Boo Williams EP.

Did anyone listen to this? I take it that's an audio glitch on the opening track and not some kind of bizarre effect.
Or is it my feckin' headphones?

Now there is another that slipped past me... 'Glass Eights' by John Roberts. Listened to a couple of tracks just now and I'm seriously tempted to get my sh1t together and head into town to pick this up.

I tell ya what, I'm tired and slightly hungover but the temptation to hop in the car and point it towards Tower Records is overwhelming!!!
