| Happy to see Nonplus+ and Hotflush in the top labels. And Fabriclive 50 at number 3, because it was an excellent cd. Hoping 55 from DJ Marky is as good for 2011 as this was for 2010. |

Oh what a very surprising list again. You gotta wonder what the purpose of these things is, it's not like they're wrong about anything but they really just feel like overstated opinions to me.
Maybe that's the nature of the beast, but I'd prefer more objective lists that had more input (metacritic for instance) or at least they should have some more interesting criteria. That a certain label happens to have put some interesting songs out is great, but not very interesting. What is it that makes them more unique then others, what is it they do that makes them more then the artists that are behind them? Same goes for compilations. |

| RA is just desperate to prove they don't like trance. I can see through your hipster-shenanigans RA. |

I know your post is meant to be ironic, but I think it's stupid how RA and other "serious" dance music sites completely 100% ignore Trance because it's not cool, even if there might actually be some decent releases (Mistiquemusic or whatever). They even try to avoid the word, you rarely (almost never) see RA describing a track as "trancy" or something like that. |

they're the dance equivalent of pitchfork. snobby and predominantly anti-mainstream. i avoid them both like the plague |

Hot Creations, Wolf + Lamb, and Crosstown Rebels are essentially all the same type of label, with many of the same artists.
And yeah they should have a trance label on there, even if it isn't one of the mainstream ones. |

| I enjoy quite a few of the labels/comps on the lists, although I don't care for the whole placement/ranking of them. But their top albums list is a bit questionable, Caribou - Swim album of the year? |

| Agreed, Caribou's Swim is a mere 43 minutes of boring garbage. How it could top a list of other talented and creative albums could only be pretentiousness. |
