Top 20(11): 3. Sepalcure – Breezin
Top track from a top album. Especially the shift in atmosphere, melody and rhythm at 03:33 lifts up your mood. Perfect to start the new year!

Top 20(11): 5. Balam Acab – Apart
Big chance you will see Holy Other, How To Dress Well or Balam Acab in plenty top-albums-of-2011 lists. They all released their album on Tri Angle recordings in 2011. Tri Angle is a label started in 2010 by Robin Carolan, and released several albums full of soundscaped emotions. I liked the Balam Acab album the most (Wander/Wonder), and especially ‘Apart’. The unofficial video strengthens the fairytale atmosphere.
The lyrics to this song could be (as read in one of the YouTube comments)
Your wisdom’s in the ocean Deep under the surface Where it’s hard to breathe You are guiding me And you’re like a seed growing in everything And you’re like a seed a flower opening You’re gentle like spring rain Yet you’re sharp as a sunrise Your generosity is the air all around me And you’re like a seed growing in everything And you’re like a seed, a flower opening You are a part of meWe had the remix by Balam Acab of ‘Videogames’ on the blog this year.

Top 20(11): 6. Martyn – Ghost People
We’ve been a huge fan of Martijn Deykers, even before his artist name was Martyn. His drum’n'bass DJ sets as DJ Pan were legendary, just as the RedZone parties he organized in Eindhoven. After the release of ‘Great Lengths‘ in 2009, our expectations were high for his second album ‘Ghost People‘. As you see, we’ve put the title track on number 6, which proves he met all expectations! It’s a fantastic album, and more dance floor orientated. Which makes it more focussed and more coherent than Great Lengths.
We had Viper and Masks on the blog this year.

Top 20(11): 7. Nicolas Jaar – I Got A
He dares to push Ray Charles through the reverb machine. He knows how many piano keys he needs to blend in to sculpt a melancholic memory. His live shows are pure adrenalin, contrasting the modesty of his debut ‘Space Is Only Noise‘. Nicolas Jaar exposed so much creativity and obstinacy in 2011, he deserves a place in the top 10. Fantastic album, fantastic artist.
