And so without further ado, in no particular order Future Plastik's top ten tunes of the year 2007

1. Lovely john in session - Bastard I kill you for $10,000 - Jigoku mix CD.
Dub meets Spaghetti western samples on this 60 minute mix

2. Justice - The phantom II - Soulwax mix.
Originally available on a LTD single sided 12", this has just had a release and its still sounds so damn good.

3. Stuntrock - Regret instruction manual issue 3 - 10" + CD + book set.
The elusive Stuntrock continues his crusade with obscure samples and drumbeats. Package comes complete with CD copy of the EP, a 10" vinyl record, stickers, booklet and limited edition print, all making this a rather special release.

4. Beyond the wizards sleeve - West MLP.
Latecomer for record of the year, this was the fourth and in our opinion best release from Beyond the wizards sleeve.

5. LCD soundsystem - Someone great.
Double pack of remixes from Carl Craig and Soulwax etc, however the highlight for us is Someone great, a beautiful track deemed to precious to remix

6. Unkle - War stories.
In some circles this received mixed emotions, but we love this return to form for James Lavelle and Richard File

7. Dan Le sac vs Scroobius pip - Thou shalt always kill - Lex 7"
Only available on a LTD x 500 7" single (until the LP drops in 2008), this could possibly be the track of the year for us. Flipped on the B-side with a great Knifehandchop rework

8. The Horrors - Strange house CD.
We have to admit that this band had passed us by, that was until we heard a track on the Limehouse Cutthroat : Naked under leather mix CD and straight away brought the CD.

9. Hollertronix #6.
For us the cream of the crop of the Hollertronix releases from 2007. Diplo once again dropping mad beats and mashing up Yazoo ; Don't go and strange as it sounds Paul Simon's ; You can call me AL

10. Crystal Castles - Alice practice.
I am a big fan of mad 8-bit commodore 64 style jams, so upon hearing this much hyped band : Crystal castles, using 8-bit bleeps with screaming vocals over the top was more than enough for us.
Honourable mentions for 2007 should also go to :

Dave Gahan - Kingdom.

Teenage bad girl - Cocette.

Gangpol und mit - The Hopelessly Sad Story Of The Hideous End Of The World.

LCD soundsystem - All my friends - John Cale mix.
