Best Of 2012
The Tunes
Officers & Gary Numan PETALS (Losers Rosé Remix)
Greg Churchill – It’s All Bang Bang
Marilyn Mason – Slo Motion (Sandwell District Remix)
The Festival
Lollapalooza Brasil
Great mix of rock and dance acts
The Club
Warung
It’s not new, but love its rare magic and beauty
The Producer
Alex Metric
He deserves the spot. His recent releases are consistently sounding special, you can hear the work he is putting into the sound
The Hero
Joaquim Barbosa
It’s a Brazil thing, but he deserves it, most Brazilian will probably say the same. Originally a poor African-Brazilian man who made his way up as president of Brazilian Supreme Court and has surprised the country sentencing to jail corrupt political figures for the first time in history. When he puts his Supreme Court suit, he is out Batman!
The Breakthrough
Gotye
He has reminded the world that music is really about connecting to people. He has had more Youtube plays then traditional chart topping mass production million budget pop hits. It’s a message for A&R of what music is really about, and it all doesn’t have to sound the same
The Prediction For 2013
I think there will be more of an influence of dance music on other styles, specially rock and pop. Dubstep might sound less stereotypical, also blending with other genres. I won’t be surprised if the result of all this is new music sounding like a ‘new big beat’
