A lot of familiar names in this predominantly dance-y playlist. Things open up with M83’s Midnight City from its massively stunning “Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming” album – easily this year’s best release for me. Friendly Fires, Passion Pit and Bon Iver are among 2011’s most anticipated artists. Holy Ghost!’s catchy Wait and See is a nostalgic discotheque tune, as is Foster the People’s Houdini (more original than their ubiquitous Pumped Up Kicks). Tune-Yards’ My Country is the opening track from their mercurial release, “W H O K I L L,” which to me should be among the top albums for 2011. Things close down with Starfucker and Washed Out, and finally Bon Iver’s Holocene, whose music video by the way is very, very panoramic.
