NYE: Darin Epsilon's White Winterland

If you're going clubbing on New Year's Eve, this is the kind of music you want to listen to...incredible, non-stop, high-energy house music from Darin Epsilon at the White Winterland party in Los Angeles.  My trained ear spotted mashups and mixes of such classics as Cafe Del Mar's "Energy 52", Underworld's "Dark and Long" and Sasha and Emerson's "Scorchio" while there's an array of absolutely fantastic peak-time bangers mixed in at the end.  The set is an exemplary display of how a DJ can dash into many types of house music in a single set and make it all seemlessly work.  Listen to this set below using the SoundCloud link.

Darin Epsilon - Live at White Winterland Party (NYE 2012)

#1 Track of 2012

It takes too much time to give you my top ten tracks from 2012 and you really only care about #1 so I'll give you my absolute favorite.  It's the Club Mix of DAVI's "Labyrinth" on Perspectives Digital.  "Labyrinth" (Club Mix) is a killer that ingeniously combines a disco moving, roller-coaster barrage of beats with the journalistic synths of late 90's progressive breaks to cast an absolutely ass moving peak-time piece of music.  There's more than a few subtleties to the track that make it purely magnificent but none is better than the tight disco loop that oscillates in and out throughout the track to match the greatest of disco loops like Donna Summer's "I Feel Love" (Howells Mix of course).  This track is extremely well thought out and 100% invigorating.  Well done DAVI, you permanently made my radar in 2012 and at the same time destroyed the dance-floor.
