HIAF End of Year Chart 23-21
23. John Daly-Do It (Wave Music)
It’s good to put an Irish person in this chart without a scrap of sentimentality or national pride. This is for me the best of several John Daly tracks I played all year.
22. Prof De La Croix-Build Her (Deeply Rooted)
/VA%20-%20Tronic%20Jams%20(EP).jpg)
This one is a track I just couldn’t leave out. I forgot about it for a few months then played it in the Pod in September and realised how great it sounds on a big system. I own nothing else by this artist and know practically nothing about him, but this is some seriously deep house music with cavernous strings and a raw 80s feel to it.
21. Ed Davenport-Eyespeak (Liebe*Detail)
%5CVincenzo%20&%20Joel%20Mull%20vs%20Ed%20Davenport%20-%20Stocktown%20~%20Eyespeak%20(EP).jpg)
Liebe*Detail is probably my label of the year, as this chart is beginning to show. This track is a really representative slice of 2007 in my opinion. What do you call this sort of sound? It’s quite hard to pin it down, but I suppose trance and house are the two main elements of this. I don’t really know anything about what Hamburg is like but it does seem to be the centre for a lot of this sort of music, whether made by natives like the Diynamic guys or an Englishman like Davenport.

Yeah, that Build Her track is a monster alright, had it on my August mix. Agreed on the John Daly too, although Freak Out Or Get Out slightly shades Do It for me…
