COMPILATION OF THE YEAR - A-TRAK (INFINITY +1)
In an age when CD compilations have become secondary to online playlists, A-Trak released his first ever mix-CD that neatly encapsulated his dynamic approach to the turntables, honed over a decade at the controls.
Runner Up 1 – LCD SOUNDSYSTEM (45:33 The Remixes)
James Murphy’s epic Nike production was cleanly cut up, massaged, extended and otherwise caressed by a cabal of the finest producers in the field, including Pilooski, Theo Parrish and Prins Thomas.
Runner Up 2 – PHOENIX (WOLFGANG AMADEUS PHOENIX – REMIX COLLECTION)
Phoenix’s superb 2009 full-length was subject to so many spot on remixes that collecting them all in one place was never superfluous, only ingenious.

URB obviously does not have the fully knowledged readers to make this poll relevant. KID CUDI, no. Raekwon no also. Deadmau5, no. The only relevant winner that was listed was Major Lazer. I have much respect for all the artist, events, promoters etc listed but C’mon. How is any live event bigger then Lalapalooza? Where is Beatport on the download site. I know that you cannot please everyone but this seems more like a popularity contest then who should have actually won each category. Where is Kanye when you really need him to jump on the stage?

Kid Cudi did not live up to the hype of the mixtape that put him on the map. I hope the same thing doesn’t happen to Drake. Raekwon got robbed. Cuban Linx II is the best rap album of the past few years. Mos Def also got shuffled under the rug too quickly by Urb readers.
