2011 Editor's Picks: Sarah

Another year, another list and a chance to share what we though were some of the highlights of 2011. Here music editor Sarah Farina picks her five moments from a momentous year

This year provided such an interesting and inspiring massive wave of music. I've never found so many different sounds in hip-hop, house and bass music which I really enjoyed in 2011. So here they are, my albums of the year 2011:

A$AP ROCKY - LIVELOVEA$AP
The debut mixtape 'LIVELOVEA$AP'  from A$AP Rocky is the best hip hop LP that came out in 2011. This Album definitely points out the future of HipHop.

Yoko Duo - Behaving Like A Widower
Singer-songwriter August Landelius from Sweden and producer Holger Zilske from Berlin teamed up in 2011 and created this beautiful record full of soulful electronic vibes and deep sounds. 

Kyle Hall - WO6K
"I'm a black kid from Detroit that makes some interesting shit." - Kyle Hall
This 19 year old kid absolutely is doing some interesting shit and already has a handful of killer productions out there. I could listen to his EP 'WO6K', which he released on this own label Wild Oats, a thousand of times in a row. 

Shabazz Palaces - Black Up
Ishmael Butle and Tendai Maraire known as Shabazz Palaces and they made one of the finest experimental hip hop album's of 2011. I haven't heard such a creative and fascinating piece of art in a long while.

Sepalcure - Sepalcure
Footwerk, house, UK garage - this and much more is what Machinedrum and Praveen Sharma aka Sepalcure combined in their first LP. It's a timeless album that I can listen to whilst Im laying in bed or dancing in a club.
