Maveen - Top 10 Picks Of The Year
Posted on December 21, 2022
Founder of Glasgow's Shakara imprint, Maveen delves through his top dance selects of the year
Maveen
1. Joy Orbison - 2M3 2U
Wobbler, is the word I would choose to describe this tune. It was a toss up between this and Joy O's other release Pinky ring, but 2M3 2U has been my weapon of choice

2. DJ Plead - Quick E.P
Livity Sound has been the staple record label for forward thinking and percussive club music and this release is exactly that. Similar to his other release with Anunaku a while back, Plead continues the same infectious and melodic middle eastern rhythms he's well known for
Favourite Track - Louca & EI Es

3. DBBD x Miss Bashful - Slut Bopz Vol. I
If Peaches and Miss Kitten & the Hacker ever got together and made an album this would be the outcome
