This time last year, I wrote a piece for FACT profiling various electronic artists that I thought would cause a stir in 2009, including Cooly G, Mount Kimbie, Kowton and Scratcha DVA.
This year I’m doing the same thing, except it’s better. Better for two reasons: first because it features interviews with each of the ten producers featured, and second because all but one of them has contributed an exclusive mini-mix to the column. Well, except one, but he had a good excuse – honest.
The first five of these interviews and mixes will go up today; make sure you tune in next week for the next five. And before we go on, a disclaimer: there are several people I think will make an impact this year but didn’t include here. Namely Deadboy and Jam City, because they’ve already contributed mixes to FACT and been interviewed in the process (here and here); Kingdom, who will be contributing a mix later in the year, and Fantastic Mr. Fox and Swindle, who no doubt will be covered soon on the strength of their forthcoming ‘Sketches’ and ‘Air Miles’ singles, both of which are superb.
Right, now that’s over with, turn over the page to read some words and download a combined hour of music from the first five of ten picks for the year ahead.

I thought Numan's been producing for 3 years? It says on his myspace he made it in 2007 and it used to say in his about me that he started when he first the judgement in 2007. :s
What's with the turn over the page shit? Fact, this isn't a magazine anymore, it's a web site. We like scrolling more than we do clicking and waiting for a new page to reload.
nice.
