Starting up a new thing here... trying to stay hip with the youngster hashpound lingo (fuuuuck you kids). But each Thursday we'll be resurfacing some of our favorite tracks of the last 8 years of running this blog.
First up is an old favorite, both in original artist and remixer. Originally posted in our bestuvohnein post well over 5 years ago... i think that fits in the throwback category, at least in the blog world where two weeks is already ancient news.
I picked this track because it features La Roux, whom recently released her second studio album, of which I loved, but not as much as her debut which exploded with singles like Bulletproof, In For the Kill, Quicksand, and our title track, I'm Not Your Toy.
On the other side of the track title, Jack Beats was a favorite for much of the later aughts producing remixes in the stylish and trendy jacked house sub genre. It's a look back at how quickly things transition from one like to the next hash.

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!
