My Top 100 Of 2012 - Listen

[phillyDaveG]

Not sure where I should be posting this, but this section seems the most appropriate, feel free to move it to wherever it should be mods.

As usual, here are 2 mixes of snippets of my top 100 favourite tunes from the last year. One focusing on the more downtempo stuff, the other mainly picking the pace up a bit. No garage or jazz tunes in this list ("On my way to Harlem would definitely be in my top 10 of the year), and no more than 1 tune from any artist in any 1 mix.

Link is to directly playable files, but they are also downloadable and both will fit on an 80min CD if you want to burn it, to listen in the car etc.

All tracks are readily available to buy on t'internet. Hope you find a few gems you don't know amongst the more obvious stuff;
