Sarah
I think I spent most of 2013 behind a bar listening to some amazing DJs which left me a lot less time to sift through all the great stuff that came out this year but here’s some of my favorites in no particular order.
Flying Bodies 12″ (Gooiland Elektro)
Cute Heels 12″ (Gooiland Elektro)
V/A Club Funny Horse (Gooiland Elektro)
Gooiland Elektro seem to be always reading my mind, pretty much everything Martijn puts out is my new favorite thing. I had to include the Club Funny Horse comp even though I haven’t gotten my copy yet because my fishnet ass fully endorses it.
Gesaffelstein Pursuit 12″ (The Vinyl Factory)
So loved this track like a million times on the dance floor.
Inhalt – Occupations EP (Dark Entries)
Great dudes who made another great record as well as being some of my favorite DJs of the year
Die Selektion – Gottes Wille 7″ (aufnahme + wiedergabe)
Thanks to Caesar for hand delivering this one. Just love this band so much!!
Lebanon Hanover – Tomb for Two CS (Living Tapes)
Also one of my favorite shows of last year
Youth Code S/T LP (Dais)
These guys deserve ALL the love for how much hard work they put into this album. Anyone who hasn’t seen them live yet should do themselves a favor and catch them when they go on tour again.
DBC Pris LP (Dais)
Love the title track so much, also one of my favorite shows of 2013.
High Functioning Flesh S/T CS (self released)
Pretty sure we wore out our store copy in a few days. They also make the list for being great road trip buddies in 2013
