THE #1 RELEASE OF 2012, THUS FAR (of course!!)

Chicane
"What am I Doing Here?" / "Thousand Mile Stare"

Ok... two releases are listed here... but deal is: "What Am I Doing Here" is the epic single of 2012. There are killer remixes and rare demos of this song available all over the internet. Released on last year's Giant album, the song should have been the biggest hit of the year!! My recommendations:

What am I doing here pt.1 (early demo male vox) - you can find this on YouTube
What Am I Doing Here? Pt. 1 (Walsh & McAuley Remix) - available on the Trance Essentials 2011, Vol. 1 (40 Trance Hits In the Mix) album

On the other hand, be sure to check out "Thousand Mile Stare"... a sublime trance album featuring so many amazing songs, including:

Three
Sólarupprás (Disco Citizens Remix)
The Nothing Song
Playing Fields (feat. Kate Walsh)

In fact, I found this really interesting interview with Chicane... where he talks about the new album. You can check it out, here!

See ya later 2008!

So in the perfect end to 2008, I thought I'd give you a look at my top-10 songs of the year... as played on my I-pod.

Aerodrone: Late to the Party
Armin Van Buuren: Fine Without You

Jades (presented by ATB): Wrong Medication

Breathe Carolina: Diamonds

Chicane: Locking Down (Dead Guys Mix)

Ercola: Every Word

Kylie Minogue: All I See

Lisa Miskovsky: Still Alive (Junkie XL Mix)

Metro Station: Kelsey

Nadia Ali: Crash and Burn

Quick note... Aerodrone are one of my faves this year, in the coming weeks I'll post more stuff on them... but in the meantime, check them out performing their killer track "Easier Said..." And speaking of live performances, I must have watched this live performance of "Wrong Medication" by Jades & ATB a billion times... so freakin' brilliant. And one last performance of note... here's a group of kids covering Chicane's Locking Down... I absolutely love this. Mad respect to them... Respect to you and yours. CEK 09.
