∆∆∆ FAVE 2010s ∆∆∆

don't get it twisted these are my official favorite recordsss of the year. 
less important that shit's from 2010 --- what's really special is how this music all points towards 2K!! 


official 2010 jams


DEADBOY - If U Want Me image

everything deadboy released in 2010




marcus fjellstrom - schattenspieler



records from dj roc, dj nate, n dj rashad



burzum - belus


prurient & cold cave - stars explode



teengirl fantasy - 7AM



everything wiz khalifa released this year (and last year too fuck it) esp. duh black n yellow


Egyptrixx - The Only Way Up  image

egyptrixx - the only way up 




ciara ciara ciara – her youtube is the best big year 
(esp. after the nguzunguzu and dubbel dutch rmxs of her UNBELIEVABLE deuces rmx)



the dream - love king (even tho my fave song from him this year was def ciara's speechless)


nguzunguzu - mirage



salem - king night
(such an honor to play w them this year. nicest people! anyone who hates on their live show is tripping so fuck em--- their performance is so far beyond some 'rock concert' that haters can't even comprehend that shit. plus, rock concerts/musicians in general are totally played out anyway)



blondes - touched
(2010 best live show period)



gucci mane - mr zone 6



girl unit - IRL



forest swords - dagger paths



http://www.patentleatherdaddy.com/
(consistently the best source of mixes and remixes period. best musical taste style swag)



waka flocka flame - flockaveli 
(this shit makes me feel COLOSSAL – bigger even that the teflon don, which is also BIG)



yellow swans - going places



coffinworm - when all became none 



was also super hyped on records from balam acab, oneohtrix point never, coco rosie, rick rosé, john wiese, acre, swans, hype williams, solo andata, yeezy (even tho he basically made the same album as sufjan stevens ha), drake, etc. ridiculously dope year for music.  i'm gonna add my fave songs of 2010 list in the comments--- check that. buy these records b/c (save for the commercially successful record on this list) these artists need support to keep making their tunes. 


plus, have to say: so unbelievably gracious for and blown away by all the love and support shown for htdw this year. so much love for every ear and every heart that opened up to my music--- i could never ask for anything more. 

hell of thankful for 2010 and ready to go in on 2K!!,
