Here’s a collection of gems from this past year. Goggle them, stream them, buy them, get into them.

(in no particular order)

– Janet Jackson: ‘Night’ from Unbreakable LP  –
So great to hear her back with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. The minneapolis break down in the middle just clinches it!

– Moullinex: ‘Don’t You Feel’ from Elsewhere LP –
Heard this killer tune from the Portuguese musician in Lisbon on the rooftop of Lux and simply had to have it.

– Ty Segall: Mr. Face EP –
Top level songwriting, DIY production and T. Rexy vocals. No brainer.

– Jazmine Sullivan: ‘Mascara’ from Reality Show LP –
‘No I ain’t got a job but….SO WHAT?’
Mm-kay?

– Manhooker – ‘I Am Disco’ 12inch –
Long awaited release of this slow and sexy anthem on Bordello A Parigi…sped up and tweaked by BonomoLeMagass, too, y’heard?

– Joshua Iz feat. Marissa Guzman: Llke Gold (Goshawk Raptor Dub) –
Terrific combo of house, tech and vocals. Always works.

– Mediate: What You Do
Pure house pop ecstasy from the Love & Other label.

– Claudio Coccoluto: Everybody Boogie
Irresistibile.

– Waifs & Strays: Work On You
Always thrilled to receive thumpin’ digital promos like this one in my inbox. Turns me out.

– Shaun J. Wright & Alinka: It Keeps Turning (Joshua Iz Visual Mix )-
Joshua Iz makes two appearances on this list providing a killer remix to back up Shaun’s velvety vocal.
