Ninja Drinks Wine: Sink
A downtemp / chill release mixed with ambient flavors and lots of experimentation.
Leggysalad: Shards of Memory
Leggysalad’s Shards of Memory manages to make me set aside many things that I don’t like in some styles of electronica.
Roots Echo: Hidden Structures EP
A release that offers a very different take on dubstep, but is itself fad-laden.
Spiedkiks: Take Off Your Make Up
One of the most enjoyable trip-hop releases of the year.
Negritage: Guetto Roots of Dub (Vol. 1)
This is a recording of the purest Jamaican dub sounds like we never hear in the US without importing recordings from Jamaica.
Vlisa: Diary Of Lonely Girl
This is another release from Vlisa that I cannot recommend highly enough for the vision and artistic value.
