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!

Both feature The Hood Internet A) sharing time with Hey Champ at Sono (hell yes) and B) sharing time with A-Trak and Bald Eagle (double hell yes).

Chitown vs Worst Time Zone Ever
The Cubs are tanking, and getting absolutely murdered by the Dodgers. That been putting a lot of stress on not only me, but the whole effin' city. Fans are up in arms, the players failed to show up, the curse might actually excist... I mean total anarchy!!
So what do we do? Go win 2 in LA and then come back to win game 5? It's happened before, but its not likely. I think the best way to resolve this is for everyone to just caaaaaaaaalm down. The city, fans, and media have put waay too much pressure on the Cubs, and it's not gonna work by forcing these last 100 years on the team. Just let it go, embrace the game, and let the chips fall where they may.
So here are a group of tracks from collected Chicago and LA based artists/DJs/producers. If these tracks do nothing more than distract you from the embarassing team that has taken the field the last two nights, then cherish it. Anything is better than the last two ball games.
Alternative content
Mp3: A-Trak - Say Whoa (Big Na$ty Remix) (mp3) [LA based Big Na$ty continues improving on his mastery of house breaks, shells out another legit dancefloor banger, remember he already gave 2Pac some posthumous love]
Alternative content
Mp3: The Chemical Brothers - Believe (Mr Mike Weez FeeFiFoFum Remix) (mp3) [Chicago takes a swing back with Mr Mike Weez and his own dancefloor rendition off The Chemical Bros 2005 wax]
Alternative content
Mp3: Rockland - You Can't Stop Californi-Yee (mp3) [A new bloke fron San Fernando is influenced a bit more by the 90's rave sounds, but still able to spin in heavy contemporary house glitches]
Alternative content
Mp3: JDP - Release (mp3) [if you missed the Starters DJs remix of JDP's "Styrofoam Cups"... then you suck, so here's his newest release (no pun intended). Again, I know dick when it comes to hip hop, but if it sounds good, it sounds good. And this ish sounds good]
Alternative content
Mp3: Stereoheroes - Midnight Sons (feat. Teen Wolf) (mp3) [Vegas based Teen Wolf was kind enough to send his mix of Love Lockdown (which you'll still be able to find on the blogs) but I personally just cannot stand the original, so I politely declined. But I'm more than glad to post a collab he did with Stereoheroes]
Alternative content
Mp3: Matt & Kim - It's A Fact (Mano Remix feat Hollywood Holt) (mp3) [ummm... really dont need to say much about this as it's been out a while. BTW, did anyone see the show on Monday? I missed it and am kinda pissed]
Alternative content
Mp3: NightWaves - Even Money (mp3) [i think this song might've been rejected as the romatic interlude piece in Beverly Hills Cop III. Looking forward to Nightwaves refining their Future Disco sounds into something of the likes of Moulinex and Futurecop!]
Alternative content
Mp3: The Hood Internet - Tambourine Reckoning (mp3) [might as well ensure a victory for Chicago in this little cross-country battle by throwing in mash-up masters STV SLV and ABX from The Hood Internet. With a catalogue of well over 200 mash-ups its hard to pick just one track, so I'll play the lazy card and go with something straight from the player]

Black Holes and Starterations
Hmmm... I came here to post news about the newly formed Chicago DJ duo, Black Holes... thinking that I had already posted about one half of the duo, El Topo. But I guess I never got to that... shame on me.
But to make up for it, here's some press for an upcoming show this Wednesday at Sonotheque (best bar ever). Black Holes, which is now made up of aforementioned El Topo and Harry Hart, will be throwing beats down along side chitown favorites Starters DJ's and DJ STV SLV from mashup masters The Hood Internet.
Here's a track to savor from each of the above, check their myspaces and do your homework. RSVP for reduced admission... sell some blood if you cant afford $3.
Mp3: M.I.A. - Paper Planes (Starters Remix)
Mp3: Hollywood Holt - Caked Up (Black Holes Remix)
Mp3: The Hood Internet - Your Love Iz What It Iz (The Cool Kids vs Frankie Knuckles)
