Welcome to the ninth installment of our yearly compilation; the top tracks from the past year, some special new finds and our upcoming bangers. Two of our favorite acts (and people) join together for the opening salvo. Pete Herbert doing some serious dancefloor destruction on Hiem's Highlife. A gem from their recent album. We take a trip down Prince Lane next with the 1985 Paisley Park inspired Shield Of Love from Russian genre spanner Unclepasha, North London Soul producer OD Hunte and label head Loudery combining with Sare on the remix. Raykos new protegee Tania Haroshika is next with their summery laid-back, disco smoocher.
