Compiled by Yoshitoshi

1 CHRIS LUM

Bigger Tool EP

Tango

Larger than a Stokie taxi driver at a kebab van and more essential than Pete Tong.

2 IIO

Rapture (Deep Dish Rmxs)

Ministry of Sound US/ MADE

DD's winner of the year get's the girls all buttery and that's the desired effect really isn't it?

Astralwerks

he man Rupert causes international dancefloor damage with Roberts Owens

4 BEN SHAW

So Strong (Original, Cass + Slide Rmx)

So Strong (Soul Mekanik, Sander Kleinenberg Rmxs)

Away Music

One of Sanders finest moments, but don't forget the Soul Mekanik mix either. And of course, the Cass & Slide rmx made Deep Dish's Yoshiesque 2. We hear Ben made this sitting in his skivvies on his bed. It's true - we swear!

5 PARANOID JACK

Slave Driver

Smart Hockey

U

Stickman

One of the biggest surprises of the year, these were so damn good we couldn't just pick one! Thanks Canada (No one really says it that much)

R*senal/Defected

Who needs another chance with a record this good?

12 PLANET FUNK

Inside All The People (Deep Dish Rmxs)

Bustin' Loose

The Dish gets dark and dubby on this decidedly delicious delivery. Nice and long - good thing they don't offer that 30 minute guarantee anymore...

Know You (Erick Morillo Rmxs)

Subliminal

One of Subliminal's finest moments. OK, it's not quite Big Love, but what is?
