9 must hear electronic music albums of 2009

Are we even listening to albums nowadays? A lot of you guys are probably just downloading the tracks you like, who doesn’t? But I still find satisfaction in putting on a good full-lengther which is both well composed and has good individual tracks.

I asked Innotune companion HÃ¥kon Lofthus if he had any good suggestions for this album sum up. He answered:

R.I.P. albums. When buying online – why would I want to buy an whole album, when I could only grab the tracks I like? (I can listen to them first as well) So, this year has been almost an album-free year for me, and iTunes better start pushing out those iTunes LP features to get me back on buying complete albums.

You have to agree. But I’m giving this list a shot anyway. I realise I haven’t heard enough releases this year to create the complete “top edm albums of 2009 bible”, but here’s nine I would like you to check out.

The list is back

The votes are in, and the Dj Mag Top 100 djs was announced a couple of days ago. Basically, it’s the same list as ever, and the Top 10 is just somewhat rearranged – some goes up, some goes down. However, there are some djs worth talking about on the list: The new entries!

The new entries on the Dj Mag Top 100 list:

Sebastian Ingrosso (25)
The highest new entry. It’s really weird that Ingrosso wasn’t on the list last year. As a higly respected member of the Swedish House Mafia, this guy really know how to make some sweet swedish house grooves.

Kaskade (51)
Ryan Raddon is the guy behind Kaskade, and he was one of the guys who cashed in on the chordy/Deadmau5 movement the last years. His last album release was a commercial hit, but it’s worth checking out tracks like “I remember”

Boyz Noize (68)
Very french-ish sound, but the guys is actually German and named Alexander Ridha. He got on a roll after the more dirty Justice-movement, but he makes it sound even better than the french guys!
