Many of these tracks showed up on other blogs' lists of the best of 2008. Maybe it's because it's winter and the days are short,  maybe it's because I have a latent need to party, maybe it's because I'm getting old and need to listen to music to keep me up; whatever it is, this particular selection is definitely one of the more upfront mixes I've put together. I hope you enjoy. Tracklisting Mr. Oizo - Bruce Willis is Dead The 'flat beat' maestro is back. Bruce Willis didn't make it, though. AC Slater - Jack Got Jacked "In the beginning there was a groove..." and then this groove got completely reworked by AC Slater's crazy techno proto-house. Souldiers of Fortune - Jungle Boogie (Ryan Riback's Get Down Remix) Another rework of an older number. I was never that keen on the Kool & The Gang original (popularized by Tarantino in Pulp Fiction). This dubbed-out remix I can deal with, though. K.I.G - Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes Apparently this is doing the rounds on the UK Urban scene. Beware - heavily addictive. Fun video to boot. AC Slater - Party Like Us (Original Mix) Another stomper from that man Slater. Justice - We Are Your Friends (Disco Villains Remix) The Justice bomb gets a reworking from the Disco Villains crew. Dani Deahl - Poppin' Bottles (House Moguls remix) Infectious beepline running through this jittery slab of electro-tech. Larry Tee - I Love U (Bart B More Secured Dub) I'm afraid I'm not sure where this corker came from, but the raw thump of the bass is what snagged me. Jesper Dahlbäck - Spagat (Flanger) Raw screwed up techno. Database - Go Go Go Throw your hands up in the air. In an old skool kind of way. M.I.A. - Boyz (The Twelves Remix) The Twelves do a fine job on one of the hit tracks of the last 12 months. The Disco Villains - Jalisco Intro No.3 Those Disco Villains are back. Just when you think it can't get any nuttier, it yodels. Morgan Page - The Longest Road (Deadmau5 Remix) Not quite sure where this trancey little number came from. But Deadmau5 has done a fine job tweaking Morgan Page's vocal trance. Mike Monday - I Am Plankton (GLUG GLUG DUB) Blob. Blob. Blob. Kleerup - Until We Bleed (With Lykke Li) Lykke Li has built up quite an indie following. Here her vocals are perfectly matched with a delicately-inflected beat. Cut Copy - Hearts On Fire (Aeroplane Pop remix) Aeroplane, the dahlings of the emerging Balearic scene get their blissed-out paws on this Cut Copy hit. R.S.A.G - Days Go By This one dropped from the moon. Seriously, I have no idea where this came from. Heavily reminiscent of The Doors, this is one well-crafted ballad.

The other big treat for me on a recent night out in Liverpool came in the shape of an anonymous-looking CD from fellow beat-mongerer Dax. We take the year-end as an excellent opportunity to exchange tunes that rocked our boat over the previous twelve months. It's great for me to get some insight into the dance scene in 'ole Blighty  given I'm half a world away. So, I also took the opportunity to hand pick from Dax's selection and juggle them around in Ableton. And the mixtape below is what I came up with. Oh, and I couldn't resist throwing in a few Laidback Luke bootlegs I found on the web, as he was the other big highlight of the night. Tracklisting: Daft Punk - Teachers (Laidback Luke accapella) Pet Shop Boys, Sam Taylor-Wood - I'm in Love with a German Film Star Pnau - With you Forever (Dirty South remix) The Doors - Hello, I Love You (Adam Freeland remix) Robert Babicz - Dark Flower (Joris Voorn Magnolia remix) Sebastian Teller - L'Amour et la Violence (Boys Noize main mix) The Shortwave Set - Now 'til 69 (Aeroplane remix) DJ Mujava - Township Funk Daft Punk - One More Time (Laidback Luke Bootleg) Steve Angello & Laidback Luke - Be The House Down (Laidback Luke Bootleg) Pryda - Rakfunk Radio Slave - Grindhouse (Dubfire Terror Plan) Oliver Huntemann, Dubfire - Dios Grace Jones - Williams Blood (Aeroplane remix) Midfield General - Disco Sirens Popround no
