tracks tracks tracks. the mass of good tracks available these days is insane. there’s the tracks you say they are new and different. and there are the tracks which are satisfying the pure need for pop. getting both at one time is likely to be a top scorer. if the sound of 2012 in the view of minternational had to be pinned down to an upcoming genre, i would suggest to call it dreamtrap. then there is a hell lot of pitching, chopping and screwing going on. everybody is throwing his one minute experiments on the cloud. while the idea of cover versions is slightly disapperaring, melodies or whole tracks are getting to be used as instruments itself in a way that makes the word “sample” antiquated. as in 2011 producers like the weeknd seemed to draw the future of r’n'b, in 2012 the future of r’n'b got less bodily, less thick and therefor more abstract in a bedroom’ish and vapourwave’ish way. anyway, r’n'b maybe was the basic feeling of the year, often expressed in a sort of electronic soul. drum’n'bass got back, intellectually quotated and playfully removed from it’s dancefloor functionality. witchy voices got mixed up with mickey mouse, declaring a higher level of fun and (pop-)freedom. retro synthwave and spacedisco branched itself out into many little bloomy niches and…. well, it was a big pleasure. here are minternational’s top 50 tracks, with an exclusive minternational-video made for the number one:
