Reviews/Music – “What A Year! ~ Music Was The Answer!” – D.M.’s 2012 Music Review – The Tracks (Part Two) – Tuesday 1st January – Special Review

      Comments Off on Reviews/Music – “What A Year! ~ Music Was The Answer!” – D.M.’s 2012 Music Review – The Tracks (Part Two) – Tuesday 1st January – Special Review

With the kind of suspense that surrounds the run up to the crowning of the Christmas number one, we too have created our own acute anticipation of who & what topped our 2012 track chart, our commentary composition running from 40 to 2, leaving that all important question heartlessly hanging, that wait now over as we reveal the tip top tune that cleaned up as our cream of the crop of challengers.

 

 

Well we have given you our rundown of the tracks that, following the toughest of choices from a tonne of tunes from 2012, made it into what become one of the tightest top 40 charts ever, a colossal collection that showcases some of the world’s leading D.J.’s & producers along with huge dancefloor hits and amazing anthems, along with a small handful of obscurities that we included from a purely personal perspective. But having decided to stop the first part of this special music review of the year, stopping at second spot, you will be pleased to know that the suspense & the wait is over, as it is right here, right now that we will be naming our number one, while we will also then share the full chart, from 1 to 40, listing each track in its entirety, so you can pick out your own favourites, head to the official music download sites and add them to your collection.

 

So to that all important number one and a pretty late entry if we are to be honest, but for a number of reasons richly deserves the premier position on our track chart podium, not least that it simply swept us off our feet on the first play back in November and continues to do so each & every time we listen to it, erupting emotions, sending scintillating shivers up our spines & leaving us brilliantly breathless. But there is more, as it marks the sixth entry into our chart for superstar Spaniard Taito Tikaro, who has incredibly influenced our musical year more than most and we think, looks set to rock our world even more in 2013, while we also have to give acknowledgement to Taito’s studio partner, Flavio Zarza, who has had a heavenly hand in propelling this phenomenal production to that premier place on our podium. However, without artists DHP  and the vocals from Sunday Girl, “Not Alone” wouldn’t be here, so we give thanks to them too, although it is Taito to whom this number one goes, his version having all the hallmarks of a Tikaro tear tumbler and still sends tingles through our whole body that are bigger & better than any other. But there is one more person to thank for bringing this towering Taito tune into our world and that is an equal superstar to to his Spanish counterpart in our books and a brilliant bloke to boot, the one, the only Steve Pitron.

Now to our full chart listing and that promise of all the details of each track, so you can head off to sites such as Beatport, iTunes & Juno (not Zippy please folks) where not only you will be getting hold of legitimate copies, but you will be making, small as it is, a contribution to the artists & producers coffers, something we are extremely passionate about promoting. So with our top  forty done, we can now look forward to a new year full of new tunes, although given the enormity of the epics that made it into our 2012 chart, the next twelve months will have a lot to live up to, while we are sure that 2013 will prove to be another year where “Music Is The Answer” (DISCO MATT)

About discomatt

The History........................................................Created in 2008 after a short period of blogging under his real name, the pseudonym, “Disco Matt”, was born on the back of a reputation for being London’s original party boy having partied and clubbed across the London gay scene since in mid 1990’s.........................................................Through his series of blogs via individual blogging pages which soon morphed into a full blown website (http://discomatt.com), Disco Matt established himself as an independent journalist come columnist who quickly gained a reputation for supporting & promoting one of the world’s most prolific clubbing scenes. He previewed, reviewed & recommended London gay clubs, as well as the diverse gay/metrosexual London club/bar culture, linking to & reviewing the scene top D.J.’s and generally covering the gay scene including international gay events....................................................Regularly reporting on the top events across the scene, Disco Matt’s reviews, over the years, developed a strong following, not just by clubbers, D.J’s, promoters, music producers & scene faces, but people far and wide that were looking for an insight to the incredible scene that was London. He also previewed upcoming events that signalled, either a major change or update of existing clubs, new ventures on the gAylist/metrosexual scene, or where he considered events that deserved more comprehensive coverage to that provided in other posts.............................................However, having pretty much reached the top of his game in his chosen specific field, due to a number of personal predicaments, challenges & changes in his life priorities, Disco Matt parked his writing and operation in February 2014. While the burning desire to continue remained, what this much needed period of inactivity did provide was the time & space to re-think & re-focus his activities on a broader spectrum of media and entertainment............................................................So, following this long two year lay-off, he built up the foundations for this diversification into the areas of film, theatre, radio & television where his reviewing, recommending & reporting was to be replicated & resurrected, also pointing his promotions through more visuals & video's linked to all these areas along with his core activities and passions ................................................................................The Present....................................After another (shorter) period of lay-off from mid 2016, a life changing event reignited his passion and early into 2017, Disco Matt has delivered on his promise for a new, more modern look to his website, shedding the old & tired skin in favour of something far more in keeping with the times and with his blogging roots. And he has waived a fond farewell to his clubbing days, this having also been ditched from his site & activity, rather now just focussing on the genres of film, theatre, radio, television, video and of course, music, in so doing, aiming to broaden his appeal to a much wider audience interested in the latest most cutting edge areas of media & entertainment.............................................................................His aim is to be highly regarded across the industry for his writing in these fields and ultimately become a full time critic in film &/or theatre.
