5 record labels that for me are just pushing the bar higher are Moshi Moshi, Warp, Rough Trade, Kitsune & DFA. I just got copies of the 1st 2010 Warp & Moshi Moshi compilations and there are just some amazing little gems on these records.
Of course there is always the odd bizarre number too but these 2 collections are superb all round records.
Moshi Moshi home to Casio Kids, Hot Chip, Au Revoir Simone, Hot Club De Paris and critics darlings The Drums have pretty much nailed it this year and the Electro Compilation 2 record is a great showcase.
Highlight for me though is the Aeroplane remix of Au Revoir Simone's Another Likely Story
Au Revoir Simone are Annie, Erika & Heather from Brooklyn, NY - their music is stunning and laid back folk - and as soon as an electro mad producer gets hold of it turns into something else.
Highlight from the Warp Records Comp is Gonjasufi. Warp - home to AFX is always pushing boundaries with their twisted sonic ideology and Gonjasufi is no exception - this is dubby slow hip hop with ghostly vocals and cut together looped instruments. Its pretty tripped out but worth digging into....
2 great records...worth getting your mittens on....
