Heh I gotta send Zac some more of my stuff for Cosmology, you should check out Constrobuz's stuff honestly. Between him, Hucci, and Tropkillaz had a bunch of great stuff to not leave my ipod.

Argh one of my irks then when a label or artist does that when there's an established artist or label already with a name, just gets confusing!

I feel horrible not recognizing most of this list, not buying tunes from sites or ignoring a scene for a couple months seems to leave you lost.

[deadly_habit]

Tropkillaz have been doing it for me and Hucci I'm not even the biggest trap fan either

[RKM]

haven't really been listening to many albums released this year

but singles:
commodo- fuck mountain
las - your eyes
gantz- spry sinister
soundcontrol-electrocution dub
wen- strings hoe

extra shouts; jkenzo magneto vip, d bridge true romance vip, facta loveless, alter echo and e3 nubian dub and ishan sound namkha, thelem haunted harmonics, swindle purple city remix

trapped and mere sher would be in my top 3 were it not 4 fuckry

and eshone- ups and downs vips if it had actually arrived by now...swear that has had the longest route from conception to reality

[deadly_habit]

auprised donnie esh one and squarepusher aren't on more lists

[hubb]

auprised donnie esh one and squarepusher aren't on more lists

I'm a squarepusher fanatic but since ultra I can't bear any of his new stuff.
It's soulless and akward and despite the really interesting concept with robots and programming etc - it felt completely lifeless to me.

It's sad and it's the same with Venetian and Bogdan Raczynski nowadays.

I do like stuff however and hope it does change

Anything by LAS.

This really. Don't know many of the names mentioned tbh... Feel like I'm more and more lazy searching for new stuff. I mainly stick to "old" stuff and lots of mixes.

That Epoch tune name is absolutely hilarious, gotta check this out

Looking at my Discogs purchases from this year, the only albums released in 2014 that I've bought so far are Moodymann and Congi.
The Moody one is sick, was a bit disappointed by the Congi one tbh.

Oh and gotta mention the BPDR Bass Jazz album - almost forgot about that as it's digi only. Killer album this one.
