Top 100

All my yearly charts in one place

Best of 2011

My top 100 discoveries of 2011. It's been another year dominated by men with analogue synthesizers trying to sound like it's 1984, but with a good measure of other things thrown in too. There's some slow-motion disco, glo-fi, Detroit techno, reverb-drenched wall-of-guitar indie, hard-as-nails skullstep, italo, chart pop, drone metal and a dashing of neglected Hospital-style d&b, topping it off with a suitably triumphant number one. Business as usual in other words.
