CROSSOVER HIT THAT HASN'T YET CROSSED OVER
Classixx "Holding On" "Classixx melds so many nostalgic, timeless, innovative sounds into this anthem. I hear five decades of dance music glorified in this cut. Stunning."
BEST USE OF A SAMPLE
Giom "Hot Rabbits" (Spiritchaser Remix) "Great sample, or homage, to the opening of Shannon's 'Let the Music Play.' "
BREAKOUT DEBUT
The SyntheTigers "[They] have the greatest grasp on how to edit and remix classic disco tracks with respect for the original composition. They restore faith in the belief that disco is not dead: it's eternal."
