I missed the bus with a proper countdown of our top tracks and remixes of this year... so instead I'll drop to you all my favorite 'hearted' tracks from hypem this year. Since there's no denying the power of hype machine in moving tracks into (and out of) the popular scene... its normally a good indicator of influential tracks. Especially those that have tickled my fancy for so many hours this year (especially while bored at work).
Also a big thanks out to Clayton for allowing us use of all these great party shots from throughout this great year that was!
Peace bitches... and happy new year!

The Bot
Do you all remember my post a little while ago featuring the Pnau remix by Breakbot? Wasn't that song just a pleasant break in the sometimes tedious and repetitive electro genre? It's not all just about the heavy distorted bass and glitched-out synths. Sometimes it takes a nice gentle keyboard that can make a track worthwhile. Breakbot knows that game, and knows it well.
The 'Baby' remix was hardly a next-of-kin to the original, more like a completely new mix. You'll find those same pleasant, warming, and welcoming beats in most of his work, like 'Summer Party', which I find to be the perfect song for a Sunday stroll thru Grant Park. Kinda paints life with a certain comfort.
I know these tracks aren't the newest and most game breaking in the genre, but sometimes the smaller gems get covered in the weeds. Enjoy.

Cross Remixed
When you have one of the best electronic albums of 2007, you are undoubtedly going to have a fair share of remixes. With singles like D.A.N.C.E, DVNO, and Waters of Nazareth, Justice provided easy fodder for remixers across the globe for some bangin' tracks.
I'll save you some hunting, and provide some of my favorites that I've been playing on repeat for months now. Remember to check out any of these artists at your local venues if you get the chance. I'll attest to LA Riots myself.
