Top of 2012: Favourite Track

There have been a number of tracks I've loved and listened to on repeat this year, but none adequately summed up the sound of 2012 like Disclosure's Latch featuring Sam Smith. It's just one of those songs you know for a fact you will never tire of.

Tracklist and Album Cover: Major Lazer - Free The Universe

I'm supremely underwhelmed by Jai No Partial, but Get Free is still one of the best tracks they've every produced so I'm still optimistic. And now with the list of features on Free The Universe, I'm fucking exicted. I mean, Santigold, Danielle Haim, Peaches, Ezra Koenig, Wynter Gordon, Laidback Luke, Ms. Dynamite and the list goes on. Pumped doesn't even begin to describe my feelings.

Get Free [ft. Amber Coffman of Dirty Projectors]
