10. Mista Bishi- Printer Jam (Barbarix Remix)
9. La Roux- In For The Kill (Skream's Let's Get Ravey Remix) <-- would be three places higher if 12" version ever emerges
8. La Roux- Bulletproof (Foamo Remix)
7. Isis- 20 minutes/40 years
6. Jamie T- Sticks & Stones
5. Florence & The Machine- Rabbit Heart (Lionheart Remix)
4. Silversun Pickups- Catch And Release
3. Mastodon- The Czar
2. Jay Dabhi & Moises Modesto- Cry For Freedom
1. Das Racist- Combination Pizza Hut & Taco Bell (Wallpaper RMX)

I would, I have concluded, actually pay quite a lot of money (which on my salary means 'about three quid') on a La Roux remixes album. Ellie's vocals are annoying in the context of stupid blippy crapness but when Skream or Zinc or Foamo get their hands on things, they turn into those Euphoric Trance vocals like eg: 'It's My Turn' by whoever that was by. Raven Maize? Probably not.

Someone has sampled 'Saturday Night' by Whigfield. It is all over Starz, which is sort of like a low-rent version of a low-rent music channel. It makes me die a little inside.

Of course I haven't actually heard any new albums for nearly two months now so the competition is still pretty open and, as you can probably tell, entirely dominated by things Nerm & D-Code and the lovely Bailey play on their lovely late-night BOSH shows wot I can stream off the iPlayer at werk.
