2005 Musically - In Your Words!!!!

Re: 2005 Musically - In Your Words!!!!

from one of the kings of Minimal...LocoDice, and with a sweet cd. That magazine made me really wish i could've made it across the pond this year to go to Ibiza, and even more to go to DC-10 and Cocoon. Along with the REAL Cocoon in Germany. Richie Hawtin moved across the pond as did Jimmy Van M. Maybe that'll help them get more gigs over there.
.

im right there with you on that one. there were a lot of great live sets i downloaded that were from dc10 this year. did you hear the dc 10 circo loco cd? clive henry and locodice each had a disc along with a short dvd.

I have yet to check it out. It's pretty expensive to buy it online. I'd really have to hear it first, then decide if it's good enough to buy.

Clive Henry is one of my favorite producers though. PEACE DIVISION ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!

Re: 2005 Musically - In Your Words!!!!

Ok I have to say DUbai was a awesome set but Digweeds Ibiza is by far the best this year. He really showed us the dark side again during dark times. Sasha Lithuania was superb as well.

Re: 2005 Musically - In Your Words!!!!

Track OTY: Terry Grant - I'll Kill You -- beautiful, that's really the only word I can use to describe it.

Set OTY: Desyn @ Focus -- as if I wasn't already a fan, this one cemented it.

Album OTY: Lisle OS -- def. agree with that call

Party OTY: Sad to say but I hardly made it out this year. Carl Cox @ Avalon, Boston if only by default.

Sports Moment OTY: Watching the Pats completely rip through the Colts, Steelers and, Eagles - man that seems sooooo long ago right now...

TV/Movie Moment OTY: Return of Family Guy

Re: 2005 Musically - In Your Words!!!!

Musically this year took on a huge change for me. I used to be all about trance and nothing was better then trance....then in March I went and saw Steve Lawler at System and everything changed. I gained a whole new respect for the different types of electronic music out there.

Party's of the year for me were:

Steve Lawler @ System Soundbar

Sasha & Steve Lawler @ The Guvernment - highlight on the Skybar when Sasha and Lawler went back to back....definately in my top 5 of all parties

Armin Van Buuren @ The Kool Haus for Decadence II

Matt Hardwick @ The Docks for Destiny 49

WEMF 2005 - 1st ever WEMF experience and one of the best experiences

Re: 2005 Musically - In Your Words!!!!

I think 2005 musically can be summed up in five words.... Crazy Frog Was Number One
Other than that lowlight...

Best Track - Suicide Sports Club - Last Ghost In Town (Redanka Remix)
Not far behind it is Pryda - The Gift. One of my repeated highlights of the year has been the fact that no one buys vinyl anymore, so most people completely missed this one. When anyone asks me what it is I just turn over the record and show them its the B side to arguably the most hyped prog record of the year. Even I bought the vinyl, skipped through the B side and left it in my box for a couple of weeks til I heard it on a live set, flipped out and found the track ID, whoops.

Best Compilation - Luke Fair - Bedrock OS3 - Just awesome, unfortunately Balance 008 didn't do for me what Desyn's live sets do.

Best Live Set - Desyn Masiello @ HonkyTonks Melbourne 26 Nov - I was there and the recording was even better than I remember.

Best Kiss Mix - Desyn Masiello - 6 November 2005

Biggest Disappointment - John Digweed @ QBH Melbourne - Melbourne Cup Eve - The same sound for 4 hours, nothing exciting about it at all, I had high expectations and probably wasn't in the best mood for going out after falling asleep on the couch before the gig after too many red wines at dinner, but it was just boring.

Re: 2005 Musically - In Your Words!!!!

More favourites/highlights:

Micah's 3 year anniversary mix on proton (including that speedcats track)

Habersham's kiss mix - weirdness, but in a good way

Vance Musgrove mix featured on MS the other month

Jacob Todd/Kelly Noland - Somehow (Aural imbalance mix) - brilliant track

Re: 2005 Musically - In Your Words!!!!

fair, but lacking. some really great sets this year. but overall, i felt we were a little behind. Some big ups to JZ 4.2, Sasha's Proton Mix, some of the Kiss Spec Guest's were just perfect, and so many more.

I just heard a new JZ set on XM last night. And all i remember was this stupid track with this guy rapping and talking about everybody get up and other shit.

What kinda crap was that? Maybe he was playing to people who didn't know too much about EDM. Too much forcefeeding of hip-hop these days by MTBlaaah.
