The only surprise on this months top list is that we see a show from Annie Nightingale among the top ten for the first time. I guess she is helped by Flumes popularity. It is also nice to see a Core News favorite, Jon Hopkins, getting some well deserved recognition as he gets the top spot.

The Essential Mixes and Diplo taking the top spots last month, but for the first time Annie Mac was able to sneak herself into the top 10. Her Sundays shows are really enjoyable if you have had a rough weekend with a lot of raving.

For once it is not an Essential Mix that tops the list, but the awesome Detroit Special from Benji B! If you like the shows from Benji B and Gilles Peterson you should definitely check out Rob da Banks show where he plays new “left field” electronic music and tad of indie and hip hop.

Happy Holidays to all Core News readers!

It is time to have a look at which posts that were most popular on Core News in 2013. The top 26 list is totally dominated by Essential Mixes, as you might expect. Some of these mixes are really great and I gotta say that 2013 has been a good year for electronic music.

Due to my 3 month hiatus from the site some mixes probably are missing and the list is a bit skewed after Core News lost quite a few readers from this break, so my wish to all Core News readers is to spread the site and posts that you enjoy around the interwebs to keep Core News growing again. Thanks 🙂

Hi all

First of, thanks for all the great support and feedback!

Even though I was gutted when Filesonic blew up, it has been weird for me to not be posting on Core News since the break, and I have to admit that lately I have been missing the blog.
So now I have decided to do a bit of posting, but in a smaller scale that are not so time consuming, and focus more on the music that I enjoy.

Right now I’m trying out Depositfiles as file host. It is not an ideal solution, and I might change if I find a better host. And who knows how long the hosts last these days…

Hopefully some of you readers will come back and enjoy the music we love 🙂
