What would be yours??

Loot

 

[Mikkandro]

Enei, with SpectraSoul and Calyx & TeeBee just behind. Optiv & BTK, S.P.Y., ARPXP and DRS albums were absolutely wicked as well.

 

[danwell]

Delay no more

 

[Subjekt Music]

The Other Side LP

 

[Grade]

The Other Side LP

Yeah this tbh

It's not a solo album but it's the best drum & bass LP this year.
Best tunes, best mixdowns, best mastering / pressing.

Sounds MUCH better on vinyl than digi also

 

[Harry3]

Soulmagnet!

 

[Attire]

What other albums are due to drop in the rest of November/December?
Can only think of the Tuned In 2 and Demand compilations off the top of my head.

Sick Music 3 is the only other one I can think of

 

[The Watcha]

Probably have to say The Other Side LP as well

Fingers crossed for Mosaic volume 2, but I can't see that happening with Creator out mid December

man some good albums this year. For me it's the Calyx & Teebee one but only by a hair

I need to have a look i really cant think atm

 

[Sweaty Teddy]

Surprised Octane & DLR's album hasn't been mentioned yet.

 

[Loot]

Yeah Machines and The Other Side seem to be the most popular ones at the moment. With so many decent releases this year its hard to name a top one, S.P.Y's album wins for me at the moment because of the variety

 

[Fallen.GeMiNi]

Calyx & TeeBee for me, S.P.Y comes close second. As for compilations, The Other Side for sure.

 

[Matty28]

On an alternative view, the albums i've enjoyed most this year are ASC - Out of Sync, Dan Habarnam - From the Known and for compilation Way of the Samurai 2.

 

[TheNetworkDNB]

ShockOne's!!!!

Oh hang on, it's still not out yet

 

[Marcus Alkemist]

Isn't Survival & Silent Witness' LP coming out at the end of this year?

 

[OneSeventy]

Subwave, Nymfo, Optiv & BTK, Spectrasoul, DRS, Octane & DLR, Concord Dawn, S.P.Y, Black Sun Empire, Calyx & Teebee, Audio and Enei all put out stunning albums this year. If I had to pick one though... I would probably give it to Spectrasoul.

There haven't been as many strong compilations this year so I would say The Other Side and Way Of The Samurai 2 take it easily so far. A few still to come though.

my top 5

1. Enei - Machines
2. DRS - I don't usually like MC's but...
3. Calyx & Teebee - all or nothing
4. SPY - What the future holds
5. BSE - from the shadows

Here's hoping 2013 is as good as this year has been
