LENAR’s PICKS of 2011

2011 proved to be a great year for music. My blog really started to pick up and I have had the chance to connect with people all over the world. Searching soundcloud, youtube and other alternative places gave me the chance to hear music I might not have heard otherwise. So brace yourselves for a nice long post of some  my favorites of 2011

I will have to say my ultimate finds of the year were MEMRO and FEINT. Not just because of their awesome music but they created a chain reaction that led me to so many other amazing artists (Like TwoThirds and Bustrexx to name a couple) Needless to say, I really REALLY got into drum and bass this year. 

Also I won’t be going into a great amount of detail since I have wrote about a lot of this before .. just check out my archives for more! It is hard to choice what tracks/mixes and such to put here since I heard a lot of great music this year!

I know you may be seeing some names many times but some people really killed it for me this year. I did hear many other names but it is hard to get everyone on here!

FIRST OF ALL MY TOP TUNE OF 2011 IS ……………………..

FUNK BLASTER By Koan Sound. This kids are crazy with the funk sound and I lost it the first time I heard this tune.

Another guy that I was introduced to this year is Nu Raverz! DISCO/FUNKY HOUSE has really been creeping its way back into my heart. 

His track “Pop” was released this year so check it out if haven’t already!!

I’m sure all of you have heard some form of “Fall Silently” by now! Well now you can hear where it all started from! Christoph Maitland released the completed original as a free download! This VIP mix includes some never heard vocals that were not used in the final cut of the first release.

NOW…..

My Albums of 2011 :

Harmonic Transformations by The Human Experience 

In may of this year I was send this amazing album. Check out what I wrote HERE

Now there were quite a few other amazing releases I heard this year but the glitchy folks really took the cake the cake this year! 

Ill-esha’s Cherry Blossoms is still frequently on my playlists. This release including some pretty bad ass remixes as well ! BUY IT

I have been loving her style for a long time. The glitchy, funky ,dance floor worthy bass makes her tracks that much more lovable!
