Drumroll please, we are now at the top 10 of 2010!

Yes, I have a love affair with Miike Snow.  For those that remember my 2009 list, I had Miike Snows’ track Cult Logic as my top pick for 2009.  So once again Miike Snow is in top 10 list for 2010, however this time joining forces with Crookers.  Crookers released their Tons Of Friends LP which saw them joining forces with the likes of Roisin Murphy, Kid Cudi, Soulwax, will.i.am, and others on a massive 22 track album.  However, the standout for me was this track.

This was the first single from CEOs’ full length album, “White Magic”.  I was so hyped on “White Magic” based on this single.  However I was disappointed that the rest of the album didn’t come near the magic of, “Come With Me”.  ”Come With Me”, is a really well crafted track that makes creative use of a string sample.  It’s just the right amount of twist on the sample that makes this track stand out.  Ceo is the solo project of Eric Berglund of The Tough Alliance.

From Hot Chip’s 2010 full length release, “One Night Stand”, is a beautiful melancholy piece of music.

Has that cool deep house flavor but is propelled with Giselle’s sweet vocals.   This track  is soooo smooth and chilled, it was guaranteed to be in my top 10 this year.  This track also sits nicely next to Phonique’s track, “You, That I’m With (Ft. Ian James Whitelaw)”
