COMPETITION: Win Bleep's Top 100 Tracks of 2010

Our podcast hosters and those all round good dudes over at Bleep.com just announced their Top 100 tracks of 2010.

According to their HQ:

“Putting together The Top 100 Tracks of 2010 was a labour of love for Bleep. An opportunity to showcase the music that has turned us on in the last 12 months and put across our take on the year’s best music. Through a process that included the whole team and contributions from our friends and partners the massive amount of great music that was released in 2010 was whittled down to just 100 tracks.”

They’re offering an incredibly unique download opportunity for the public to buy these 100 tracks in high-quality, DRM free MP3s for just £30. The list spans Bleep's wide-ranging hand-picked catalogue of music and includes critically acclaimed artists from the last 12 months such as Brian Eno, Caribou, and James Blake.

You can check the full list of tracks here. And you can also read our thoughts about why James Blake’s ‘CMYK’ got included right here too.

“When it drops it explodes like a paint splash on canvas, eclipsing whatever it bursts out from with ease. - Oli Marlow”

NEWS: Various Artists - North/South/East/West [Bleep]

A brand new project from Bleep, photographer Shaun Bloodworth and designer Stuart Hammersly, 'N/S/E/W,' is a musical and visual journey around differing regions of the world. Anyone who's followed Bloodworth's work will have seen his striking figures adorn the covers and booklets of the Rinse CD series along with Mary Anne Hobb's compilations on Planet Mu, and keen followers should know that recently he visited the US to document the - and I use this for the lack of a better adjective - 'beats' scene out there; and 'N/S/E/W' combines his stark potraits of these international artists with - in 9 out of 12 cases - exclusive tracks from opposite spectrums of the globe.

Skream, Headhunter and Geeneus rep for Southern England, Rustie, Hudson Mohawke and Taz Buckfaster hold it down for the North (i.e. Scotland), Flying Lotus, Matthew David and Daedelus shed light on the West Coast of the US whilst Mike Slott, Kotchy and FaltyDL give us a little insight into the East Coast.

Gumpf:

"Available as two editions, both made in limited quantities. A standard edition with 14 high quality photographic prints and a 12 track CD compilation and deluxe edition, hand numbered with a limited poster. Both editions are beautifully packaged in a custom made box."

Unified by a passion for bass music, the artists are now forever conjoined by Bloodworth's photography, presented in unanimous fashion by Hammersly and Bleep, its a project that's going some way to prove that the world isn't that huge a place after all...
