I gotta say... I love it when my friends make great records and 2014 saw some personal friends putting out some of my favorite new releases of the year!!
#1 & #2 best records in 2014 got to Tom Noble (even though Mystic Pleasure should have come out in 2013... Honorable mention for Myron & E "Do It Disco" (Tom Noble Remix).
Roger Thornhill "Heavy Disco Dance" Kaplan 12" seems to be missing from Juno now but that was a stormer of a record this year!!
Psychemagik "Sun Stepper" also missing from Juno, Also a heavy tune... and could have been the next Kaplan 12" with Roger Thornhill's edit being extremely similar ;-)
#3 Tusk Wax Gold for "No Cure" (Ruf Dug Testarossa Respray)... Oy!
#4 Grimy Trax #1 was waiting for this Twilite Tone track to be released! Can't wait for Taxi Cab Confessions... Don't sleep on Twilite Tone.... oh yeah Bruce Ivery shows out big too!
#5 Sonzeira "Southern Freeze" A sublime cover version of this classic favorite.
#6 Universal Cave "Around The Bend" also sublime... lots of spins in the casa. Props to Jeremy Underground Paris (A man with truly eclectic taste) for landing this on my radar.
#7 Rye Lane Versions for the Ptaki Remix! Lumberjack spin... I just watch from afar.
#8 Moodymann LP first record mission of the year to land this bad boy. Top moody business! Solid listen soup to nuts.
#9 Grimy Trax #2. Wassup Boogie!!!! OK Boy!! DJ Cease side is banging too!
#10 Kaplan records #1 with 2 great rare disco edits!
#11 Native & Twice "Flying Machines" EP with a dope dubbed out Curtis Mayfield remix!
#12 Marcel Vogel "Doin It"... another record that was a long time in the making but no one saw the fantastic curveball that is Noema's Dirty Dubbing mix!
#13 George Smallwood "You Know I Love You" a big tune for me and my wife at our wedding... and this release includes a dub version!
#14 Mount Oliv
