The hit list of 2008

Justice
Awesome live shows, a killer remix for MGMT and a documentary more about guns that music? Strange (In a good way)

Sinden
Prolific year for live sets and remixes. V festival 2008 and ‘Afro Jacker’ dropping being a personal highlight.

Herve
Any genre, any alias - just keep the dance floor the rocking. ‘All the joys under the sun, wrapped up into one’ Catchy like the flu.

Soulwax
The Belgium duo continued to impress with remixes for dance music royalty the Chemical Brothers and Hot Chip. Analogue synths have never sounded better.

A-Trak
A-Trak lost the ‘Kanye West tour DJ’ tag in 2008 and stood out in his own right. MSTRKFT’s ‘Bounce’ remix becoming a push music favourite.

Trevor Loveys
Dubs or full vocal production. Underground house with a classic sound. We like.

Fake blood
Dj Touché cuts, pastes and makes artists name check Fake Blood with some of the best club tracks of the year.

Crookers
The overworked Italians continued to deliver the bassline, swinging drums and synth formula with their Kid Cudi refix signed by Ministry in the process.

Erol Alkan
Erol Produced the Mystery Jet’s and Late of the Pier albums and provided the elastic band of house music that was his remix of ZZT’s The Worm.

Chase and Status
As drum and bass hit the commercial airwaves, Chase and Status kept it underground delivering anthem after anthem. If ‘Take me away’ is this house DJ’s favorite track of the year then Chase and Status are doing something right.
