bahahahaha that Hot Natured "live group" is so fucking shit.

Do more cocaine boys, maybe you'll produce a heater~

A little surprised there's no Orbital, as they headlined the Resident Advisor WHP night 12 months ago and are a better live act than anyone on this list.

While I have not been able to catch her live outside of her couple boilerroom sets, it's sorta a giant pity Laurel Halo isn't up there.

The readers of RA must be the whitest, most boring group ever. Christ.

This too. Been a few years since I saw them but they fucking destroy.

RA's top 20 labels list - http://www.residentadvisor.net/feature.aspx?1970

Livity Sound at #1 feels a bit weird but im so glad fucking LIES didn't make #1 again. Looking at this list and the Juno one aswell it seems like experimental or weird definitely has been the big thing this year, almost all of these labels are known to release weird of offbeat music.

not really surprising at all - dixon has had a massive year. innervisions put out fire all year and he's been playing better than ever. his 5 hour set in brooklyn at output a few months ago was probably the set of the year in NYC - everyone left absolutely BLOWN away. never experienced music like that - truly in his own level. i remember 3 hours into his set turning to my friend and just telling her ".. i haven't noticed one transition the entire time.." he also had the best essential mix of the year, by far imho.

TofU have a bit to go with DJing but productions are big time. probably had 2 of the biggest 10 tracks of the year with another earth and primitive people remix.

polls are just polls, popularity contests.

and live acts - why the hate on nico jar? he is so talented and really blends different genres seamlessly.

the other great live acts i've caught this year - john talabot (SO good, with pional), bonobo, james blake.

great year all around.

No juju & jordash on the live list is weird, would have expected them to be near the top.

Can't say I'm surprised with Dixon being #1, I saw him a few years ago and he was incredible.

How is anyone surprised at the top two spots? Dixon's and Tale Of Us's touring schedules were hardcore as shit. I missed Dixon when he came to Output but I caught Tale Of Us on Holloween and I could tell they were gonna shoot up a few spots. Big tracks, hype, strong sets where ever they may go; that's pretty much the formula right?

I'm more surprised at the people that didn't make it at all. Deetron, Roman Flugel and Julio Bashmore come to mind.

Because everything you just said could be written about a dozen or more other DJs.

Actually I am also wondering how the fuck he didn't make it.

Absolutely amazing DJ. Had the pleasure of seeing him DJ... definitely a must see.

haven't seen dixon live, but been playing the shit out of his em, no complaints with him being number 1.

there are some many names on that list that just feed from success long in the past.

Not hype wise, I don't think so.
