Last week saw us launch an end-of-year DJ chart series, where DJs/Producers from around the world send us mixes featuring their favorite dance music tracks from 2011. We’ve heard from Germany, South Africa, Italy, France and Scotland so far…World Cup of DJ Charts, anyone?
Highlights have been Dirt Crew, Phil Weeks, and Silicone Soul — all phenomenal producers and selectors in their own right. Not to miss. Friends, try making your own charts and tell us what you think. We’re biased, but we think 8tracks is a great way for DJs to publish charts because people actually can listen to all the songs.
If you’re digging the chart from Silicone Soul, we also can recommend a seamless mix the boys from Glasgow did last month, posted as a podcast over here. (Note to our Facebook followers: Glasgow is not in Scandinavia). According to us — and by “us,” we mean the sole and despotic member of our dance music committee — it’s one of the best mixes we’ve heard in recent memory.
