I still think it was a very weak year for "real" club music (except Duck Sauce). I missed the surprises! I just hate it when music gets functional, but for many other djs that is not an insult, but a quality in club-music. Weird...., but maybe that says more about me than about this year's club-music. Instead I totally re-fell for funky electro-pop, that i can play out in clubs and listen to at home. I'm a Popper and will always be!
"Baby I'm yours" by our favorite frensh producer Breakbot had everything to become a world summer smash hit (even an amazing video), but of course it didn't. But i saw happy faces everywhere i played it, and in my eyes it is the biggest success, that in Maputo/Mozambique somebody came to me after i played it, and thanked me.
