Dancing Astronaut’s Editors’ Selections for 2012
We've gone over the biggest artists, albums, and tracks of 2012, but our end of the year roundup really wouldn't be complete unless we talked about our own favorites from this year. These are the songs that made us feel, gave us chills, made us party, and made us cry. You'd probably find these tracks with high play counts in our music libraries and dripping with nostalgia if you make us talk about them further.
With Back in Flight School, Miguel Campbell reminds the dance music world why LPs still matter
Last year Leeds-based producer and DJ Miguel Campbell made his Hot Creations debut with the release of his hit single "Something Special." The track was discovered by Jamie Jones a year prior at Miami Music Week, and fully embodies the throwback deep house sound that Campbell has come to represent. With said release, his recent Essential Mix, and this Back In Flight School artist album, he is showing that he is not a one-track success, but more likely music producer that is pioneering a wave of inspirational sounds within the realms of the deep house craze. Read on to hear our take on this impressive album from the man himself.
