SOUND OF 2011

http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/soundof/2011/artists/


BBC, tell us all about his most precious to this year of 2011.



My attentions in this list goes first of all to a guy called James Blake.

#2 - James Blake has been announced in 2nd place for the Sound of 2011.
London producer James Blake sails into Sound Of 2011's 2nd spot at the forefront of the emerging post-dubstep sub genre of UK club music. The Deptford based artist started singing and studying piano at the age of six, a tutorage which eventually led to Blake's attendance of Goldsmiths University to study Popular Music. Early listening came in the form of his parent's classical and jazz collections, in addition to US Soul and R 'n' B from the likes of Stevie Wonder, D'Angelo and Sly & The Family Stone. Blake's love of electronic music came much later when the artist discovered dubstep duo Digital Mystikz a few months prior to his Goldsmiths enrolment.

My second attention goes to #5Claire Maguire, an awesome voice, even could be attached more to an Pop music, she could go far thats no arguing about that.

Clare Maguire has been announced as 5th place in the Sound of 2011.
This Birmingham chanteuse has kept her early fans waiting patiently before stepping into the limelight. Signed two years ago after a stream of impressive online demos, the singer has been hidden away since 2008 working on debut album Light After Dark.
Maguire has dreamt of a career in music since the age of seven. It wasn't until a teacher encouraged her to give up the dream at 17 that the Sister Rosetta Tharpe influenced singer found the motivation to quit school and go after her goals full-time. Demos on MySpace and Last FM soon showcased Maguire's impressive voice to a host of enthusiastic labels, and the Midlands girl flew stateside for meetings with Rick Rubin and shots with Jay-Z before finally settling on a deal with Universal.

 

From the Director of "Requiem for a Dream" cames now "Black Swan", another masterpiece to echoes for eternity.

The role played by Natalie Portman, it is superb,something that this actress as accustomed us.It came as an surprise, 

because when thinking about Opera in the fisrt point, i would not think an psychological thriller set in the world of New 

York City ballet would be so amazing.

In the end it is an must see movie.

 

Want to get up close and personal with Richie? The minimal star has been chosen as the first subject for Slices DVD magazine’s new ‘Pioneers of Electronic Music’ serie, this was a realease of 2006, but only now came to my hands, its still very fresh to the current days, going trough the begining of Richie Hawtin, passing to the amazing movement of Detroit showing the rise of the Plastikman.

The trailer speaks for itself, no more words from me would describe it better.

RA Poll: Top 50 tracks of 2010

RA winds up its year-end polls with the staff's take on the top tunes of the year.

One thing you probably didn't see coming in 2010: the glorious return of the anthem. Unlike last year, when ultra-subtle tracks like STL's "Silent State" made the top 5, 2010's top 50 is packed with unapologetically catchy bangers, most of which probably got as much play in Ibiza as they did in Berlin. It's as if club music finally became so niched that the crowds once again yearned for collective experiences.

Indeed, if Motor City Drum Ensemble's epic remix of NUfrequency hadn't been officially released in 2009, it might've topped our chart this year. (It'll have to make to do with setting a record for most consecutive months at #1 on RA's DJ charts.) But the RA staff isn't composed solely (or even largely) of DJs. So our list has plenty of weird ones too. UK bass's latest mutations rank nicely, stonefaced techno is still going strong and Chicago's juke phenomenon crashes the party as well. All sorts of music took our fancy this year, this is simply 50 of the most popular among our staff.  

If you really like electronic music, this is an really good chart from the bests of the 2010.
