Posts / 76 RA Since / Mar 2007 | #1 / Fri, 14 Dec 07 00:55 Completey agree with the choice of Efdemin. No one else came close this year. Slightly surprised though that you did not mention Lohn & Brot re him and Mariposa vis-a-vis DJ Koze which easily one of the best records of the year.

Posts / 64 RA Since / Feb 2006 Location / Manchester | #7 / Fri, 14 Dec 07 13:49 Definitely Efdemin, would be very interested to see what he plays, his chart on Phonica.com a while ago was a lot of Pigon stuff that was really good too..... really liking this stuff, anyone got any similar recommendations? Jamie Jones not get a mention? Harajuku, Panama City, the Should Have Gone Home EP, Strangers? all pretty darn good.. like nothing else you here IMO. My My? soem really good remixes and a lot of their production has been really good too...

Posts / 37 RA Since / Jul 2007 Location / New York, NY | #8 / Fri, 14 Dec 07 14:58 Efdemin was a revelation this year for me, and good to see him getting the top spot. Also fits in with with the trend of house coming back. His  podcast was incredible! I still can't stop listening to it and it's been six months.

I miss Bodzin in top 5.
Gui Boratto was my n#1

'Mariposa' by DJ Koze on Kompakt:if stefan kozalla's pseudonym is dj 'throwup', "mariposa" is the best tasting regurgitation my ears have ever eaten! matthew dear/audion/false:my personal favorites from this year: "i'm a man" (audion's donation remix), "noiser" by audion (spectral), "i feel speed" dubfire (audion remix), "do it again" by chemical brothers (audion's house arrest mix), "indy 3000" by false on '2007'(m-nus), and last but not least "give me more" by matthew dear on 'asa breed'(ghostly int'l).

| #16 / Fri, 14 Dec 07 19:04 Hmmm...I really enjoyed the Efdemin album and his podcast but besides that which of his remix' or other productions this year really blew people's minds? If someone could give me a nice list to track down I'd appreciate it...At the same time could that list be anywhere as long and interesting as the individual output's of Matthew Dear and Villalobos this year??? Seriously both of them dropped so much amazing work I find it hard to rank Efdemin above them...I think Efdemin's "deep house" sound is very beautiful but is it really as revolutionary as an 'Asa Breed' or 'Fabric 36' (+ a ton of ridiculous remixes and singles?!)...Ultimately its all up to individual opinions but overall its a nice list.

Posts / 925 RA Since / Feb 2006 Location / berlin | #18 / Fri, 14 Dec 07 19:27 (Edited: 14 Dec 07 20:04) Bigbernado, check:
Pigon - Promises & Cottonwood
Pigon - Little Albio Street
Till Von Sein - Gestern (Efdemin Remix) [My favourite]
Sascha Funke - The Acrobat (Efdemin mix)
Staffan Linzatti - Quibble (Efdemin remix)
Maybe if you compare Efdemin's productions to Radio Slave or Matthew Dear, it doesn't have the same 'charttopping anthem' kinda thing going on, and its not as rad as Villalobos, but if you're after warm, modern house music that just works, then his output is really worth checking. Plus I voted in all of these polls with my heart not my brain & I think there is a lot of heart in his tracks!

Posts / 37 RA Since / Dec 2006 Location / San Diego | #19 / Fri, 14 Dec 07 19:51 Aril Brikha deserves a 2nd mention for a breakout 2007... Mark August, Redshape, and Jamie Jones are right there too. What about Martin Buttrich and Gui Boratto? Every record they put out is special for me.

And dub techno phenom Rod Modell & Stephen Hitchell as Echospace. And... damn this was a great year for electronic music!

right on jeremy. efdemin's definitely got a different aesthetic, and it's a lovely one. 'promises' by pigon is brilliant. definitely one of my favourites for the year. also, for those that havent listened to much efdemin, use it as an excuse to explore the whole dial label/sound. they've had an amazing run, of late.

Posts / 583 RA Since / Jul 2007 | #28 / Sat, 15 Dec 07 09:49 (Edited: 15 Dec 07 11:07) I would have put Ricardo first and probably Sebo K or Chymera instead of Efdemin. Also radio Slave has had once again an amazing year. The guy's output is incredible, i mean to be able to be so consistent wether its his own productions, remixes, label, etc...is incredible!

Posts / 256 RA Since / Aug 2004 Location / Skopje | #32 / Sat, 15 Dec 07 19:58 could agree with you more on the list (maybe moving Dear a bit up) but only 5 producers  consider making a Top10 list for next year!

infinite states Posts / 152 RA Since / Jun 2007 Location / 412 | #33 / Sat, 15 Dec 07 20:12 anyone who thinks Aril Brikha had a good year obviously hasn't heard "Deeparture In Time". or they have no ears.
personally, i am so very entertained by ricardo "alpaca eyelashes" villalobos. that shit is funny, i'll never be able to look at him the same way.

i totally agree! "Winter" is simply atrocious! For me it's the point where Kompakt lost the plot. They had always been on the good side of trance but that track was a horrible mistake. A few releases apart it has been a very disappointing year for Kompakt IMHO. And yes Ricardo is a funny guy....

Exactly, the warm bassline of "Acid Bells" is rich and brooding at the same time. It's dark but not too dark, it's definitely one of the best tracks I've heard over the last couple of years. I also voted with my heart.

yeah, i dont understand why so many people arent willing to see 'winter' for what it is - dodgy trance. just because brikha made some good music in the past (but perhaps not enough to quite justify his rep), doesnt excuse the crap he is putting out now. ugh. and for me the kompakt slide started quite some time ago. the new burger and voigt (despite the title) it is actually a nice change - the first kompakt in ages i've liked.

Posts / 51 RA Since / Jul 2007 | #40 / Sun, 16 Dec 07 12:37 hey...... efdemin is #1 this year...no doubt! in my world #2 would have been ONUR ÖZER (VAKANT) with his "kas,mir" Album, because it is so well produced, has such a huge amount of heart and honesty! Other than that, the way he treats the base drum is very unique and you will have a hard time finding deeper darker danceable music ("Innervoices")! And PANTHA DU PRINCE would have been in my top 5 defenitly, because he creates sounds compareable to Efdemins in another darker maybe more "churchy" way...a track like "Florac" is just tellin me a story! Its not hard to realize, Efdemin is a "DIAL RECORDINGS" member just like Pantha du Prince! So...Much love, recpect and thanks to DIAL and VAKANT! Have a nice end of the year all of you! <a href="http://www.myspace.com/lorenzbrunner1 " target="_blank">www.myspace.com/lorenzbrunner1 </a> By the way..I have no idea why does not allow html links...
