Delishcast 003 - Best of 2010

There was way too much stuff I wanted to include in the top list of 2010 but couldn't... Maybe I should have extended it to a top 20 but that's too much to write about for a lazy lout like me. So instead here's a Delishcast issue of most of the things that just missed out on sneaking into the big 10.

The Arthur's Landing record is just gorgeous, absolutely essential listening. The Elegante Orchestra track came out in December last year so I couldn't officially put it in the top 10 - if I could it would have been way up there. Kamtjaka still blows me away... Stop The War is in there representing Return of the Sherm which was my favourite compilation of the year. The Joystick Jay and Rio Lobotomy edits will be released VERY soon on my Disco Delicious edits label so watch out for that. Kill is in there for Sam Heywood - and indeed because it's one of the best releases of last year. All the others are awesome too.

Laying Low

Heaps of great music to share this week! And some really exciting stuff coming up too. Next Friday the 28th we're having another Death Strobe party at Gilligans which will be soooo fun and soooooo disco. If you're in Sydney please come down and have a drink and a dance! Also this Sunday the 23rd I'll be spinning tunes at Future Classic's Apres Sunday at The Tilbury which should be blissful. This smooth Lexx edit should be a good indicator of what's to come :)

Lexx - Jungle City [buy]

There's actually too much great new stuff to choose from, I'm really struggling here. Keeping with the Sunday vibes, this record by Begin (James Holroyd) is just beautiful. Stretching over two parts over the A and B, this tune drifts through meditative balearic moods and uplifting deep grooves resulting on a big grin on my face every time. It's a very special record, I highly recommend getting your hands on a copy!

Begin - Optical Holiday (Part 2) [buy]

More of the deep and divine to share here - this latest Endless Flight release by Johnwaynes is really entrancing. I'm absolutely hooked on the haunting bathroom vocals and slightly twisted air of the track. High, the other song on the record, is a whole new level of deep with distant instruments swirling around in the background whilst a big full bass groove nails down the foundations. Fab stuff.

Johnwaynes - Get Up (Just John Mix) [buy]

DJ Groove Merchant aka Kozmik Rutz was kind enough to share this excellent tune of his on the DD Facebook page. Luvv social teknologie! Definitely some big jazz fusion influences here, I smell some Hancock for sure. It's a really groovy nudisco jam with a rhythm section that digs its heels in hard and a bunch of different snazzy synths dishing out jazz-funk goodness. Check out his Soundcloud, some real gems there. And make sure you get amongst it on our Facebook page, some lovely submissions popping up.

Kozmik Rutz - Kamtjaka (Kaviar Mix)

Expect a bundle of upbeat stuff later in the week - and there's plenty of it!
