>Posted by Mike P on (Dec 12, 2011)

This year we've decided to go back and do something we haven't done since the site was brown and orange. An end of year chart. This is what Mike and the guys at the label have been listening to this year (minus all the 2012 releases and demos of course - most of which we're tempted to put into our charts - things like the debut album by The Host (due March 2012), The new Rudi Zygadlo material and all those Traxman ... tracks. So here it is (Merry Christmas):
