There was supposed to be one of these every month, but considering that the last one was done back in February it’s safe to say I’m never going to be consistent with this podcast thing. Anyway, here for your listening pleasure are some of the best tracks I’ve heard this year. This will (again, hopefully) be a companion piece to my Best Albums of 2010 list which I’m currently working on. ‘Working on’ as in ‘I have 20 albums in a list but can’t be arsed to write about them right now’.

Get laid already.

Welcome to the inaugural Shtikman Podcast where I try and play you stuff that you should pay more attention to, according to me at least. Hopefully I can muster up enough enthusiasm to make this a monthly affair. I do this entirely on a computer so pardon the lack of mixing skills and turntable trickery. Your regular club DJ gets away with worse, so why not me? The average bounce meter for your program will be in the area of 93 bpm.

3. Mike Slott – 23 Halfs
4. Paul White – Swimming
5. Karriem Riggins – 12′s in 8
6. Strong Arm Steady – Cheeba Cheeba
7. Karriem Riggins – Untitled Beat
8. Samiyam – Rounded
9. Lone – Sungrazer Cascade
10. Floating Points – For You
11. Caribou – Tits & Ass: The Great Canadian Weekend
