“The Best Of 2009 Part 3”

The third selection highlighting some of our favourite music released in 2009, this time round opening up with a typically opulent synth fix from Oneohtrix Point Never, whose 'Rifts' collection has already featured highly in many an end-of-year chart, including our own. From there we drop in on the post-everything rave genius of Untold, the future-Garage of 2562, Joy Orbison and Roof Light, before descending into the introspective emotional tapestries of the wonderful Hildur Gudnadottir. Watch out for the 4th and final instalment next week...

Take part! Leave a comment!

“great selection”

The Demdike Stare debut, the Nosaj Thing album & the Aardvarck - Bloom 4 are all killers! Thanks for the great selections through 2009! Benn.

“Year of the dubstep kind”

You have made 3 best selectios till now, most of the tracks are dubstep like tracks... Was it really the best stuff in the entire year? Was this year so poor? Not that they are bad but... I suggest a 5th selection(not only 4)..
