Tunetourist's 2007 with beats


Resident Advisor kindly solicited Tunetourist for some end-of-year charts last week and so we narrowed the focus and concentrated on the beats (as we have been doing for most of the year, if we're honest). All in order, we have 20 tracks, five remixes, five artist albums, five producers and five DJs.

On the DJs front, we don't get out to this stuff as much as we'd like to but most of those in our top 5 have manned the decks on some great nights out - Ben Klock is the sound of Berghain, Weatherall played a great set at the SFA afterparty last month, Anja Schneider upstairs at Weekend in Berlin, Hot Chip playing to the street on Broadway Market... Efdemin we selected merely on the strength of a couple of great mixes found online. He plays a Sud Electronique party at a warehouse in Dlaston on 15th December, so we may finally get chance to check him out.
