I think for pure quality of the back catalogue AXIS.

but this year it has to be between Counterbalance, Rxxistance, Tsunami

[Bas Mooy]

have to say Kauntrax is my number 1 at the moment..it just won't leave my bag!

just quoting labels ive liked this year.

all the Above area ll time greats. Gots to give a mention for tresor also. I think counterbalance is the only label that i could honestly say i would play every release. Exept maybe DJ Pete :lol:

[eyes without a face]

ahhhh..... Magnetic North.... now that was a label

[Inquisitor]

Superb quality and most coherent over the last years would have to be Synewave and Blueprint for me. Not far away are Downwards, Dynamic Tension and Forte Records.

But this year i'd go for Rodz-Konez.

[ampassasinbirmingham]

i think after the distribution shit 1881 has shown it will be back for a lot more. really quality label.

[zaalmoetlos]

tresor, scorp, axis, downwards, blueprint, surface, inceptive, eruptive, kanzleramt

[Adverse]

i used to like compound, native diffusion and skunkworks. alot.

not so much any more.

1881 is sick.

[mek]

1. Hydraulix
2. Mankind
3. 4x4

[gunjack]

i was surprised to see so many ppl listing rxxistance and only one person listing deafmosaic..... we have had some pretty good releases this year..... anyway i like PVC, Supagrupa, Nine, Reverse, Mainout, CBX, Infrastructure, Etc.

[Alan Oldham]

I don't follow labels I follow artists

Ben Sims (esp. Ingoma), black and Latin crowds react to his stuff
Mark Broom (when he's tribal)
Oliver Ho
Surgeon in his La Real/Midnight Club Tracks phase
Misstress Barb (she just did a Thomas Krome remix that's hot)
Anything on Zenit/Naples guys
Markantonio (you can play a whole set of just him and destroy the room)
Advent/G-Flame
Mr. G
Mills of course (I thought Metropolis was his best yet)
Adam Beyer, depends on the track though
There was a bit on here where some of you were doggin' out Joey Beltram's new stuff, the disco cut-up sh**. You must not play to actual crowds then, because he blows up the spot, anything on STX, the one track off Tresor: Lumina, and that Player remix (the one that samples Rick James RIP) is a ****ing monster! The guy can take a 4-bar funk loop and make a 5 minute banger out of it, that's genius, people go crazy, so whatever
There was this one Gunjack record I played into the ground, played it for over a year, can't remember the name though

There's more but you get the idea

None of these guys ever let me down. Very rarely am I impressed w/ new producers if at all, sorry to say
