UK breakbeat dons, Plump DJs, celebrate bassbin-quaking from Fake Blood and Burial.

Who was the best artist of 2008?

Fake Blood. A string of excellent remixes and now top tune “Mars” has put this artist at the top of our tree… Is it breakbeat? Is it electro? Who really gives a fuck?

Who was the worst artist of 2008?

Madonna and Justin Timberlake for that crap track they farted together recently… Proof that even gods make mistakes!

What was the best music trend of 2008?

Dubstep, fidget house, and Burial’s genre-bashing album… More underground rebels breakin’ boundries.

What was the worst music trend of 2008?

River trance, gastro-funk, lymph core, and erm…

What was the best piece of music-making hardware or software in 2008?

If we told you, we’d have to kill you.

What was the best 12″ single of 2008?

“Mars” by Fake Blood. Can’t wait to hear more from this artist next year. His music has not been pigeonholed into any defined genre, and that’s how we like it. Fresh…
