The year 2011: once again 12 turbulent months. For fear of dioxin and EHEC, we just had to watch what we eat, our panic from nuclear contamination has been rekindled and we had far too early to say goodbye to a great artist: Amy Winehouse.
Even positive events influence our year: the royal wedding in Great Britain moved millions of viewers, Germany is in economic recovery and a friend of mine had a one night stand, he just shouts from the background.
But in music has changed a lot: Hundreds of articles are alone in our Blog witnessed a prolific indie year. Since it is natural to take stock in chart form. Of course, while each of our bloggers will be speaking - and turns to a top 3 heading ..
Sasa S. (Regensburg): Top 3 best albums of 2011
First Place: The Naked and Famous, "Passive Me, Aggressive You"
"The New Zealand band can produce more than one hit. In truth, each title of the album is simply a masterpiece. Compositionally as well as Nine Inch Nails, only better - as catchy. "All of this" was actually decoupled before their top hit and sank a little. Never was "fucking" hidden in a beautiful song (0:45 min). "

Second Place: Ghost of Tom Joad, "Black Music"
"The band from Münster has gone through an evolution, from which some German band can still cut a big slice. From the post-punk to elegant indie-rock anthems, without having to be cheesy. The single of the same enthusiasm with dramatic use of percussion and to me is already a classic. "
Popout
Third Place: Hello Gravity, "Wunderkind"
"Indie-dreams now be made in Schrobenhausen. Hello Gravity are young and in my view, the new German indie-electro-pop hope (sorry bizarre!). Live they are highly recommended and because they make everything right in terms of image building, it will be interesting. The second single, "Sunshine from the Inside" is a huge Schmachthymne. '

Michael F. (Munich): Top 3 best songs of 2011
First Place: James Vincent McMorrow - If I Had a Boat
Popout
A song from 2010 No. 1 on the charts in 2011 years? YES! Why? Quite simply - because to me the song and artist in 2011 fell into the hands and I'm just grateful. James Vincent McMorrow and especially "If I Had a Boat" have accompanied me through all of 2011 and especially my stay in Portugal. Therefore, my number 1 - 2011!
Second Place: SBTRKT - Hold on
Popout
Yes - and No. 2 landed a song from 2011th Because "SBTRKT" has swept me like few other bands in 2011 and especially "Hold On". With its almost in a trance beats dislocations ends because it was my companion on many .. in the subway, commuter trains, ...
Third Place: Ben Howard - Old Pine
Popout
Ben Howard, who published his 2011 debut album, "Every kingdom" has played immediately into my top artist list. Actually, everyone would come to his worthy songs in this list! Unfortunately, I've just missed the good man live. I hope 2012 can make up for this.
Oliver W. (Berlin): Top 3 of the best DJ sets 2011
First Place: David Hasert: "Winds of Change"
Although I have not yet managed to party Like nobody, I follow closely any output that is produced by the cologne Like DJ collective. I especially like the DJ sets from David Hasert, discreetly between the up-beat and quietly go, but we will not always danceable.

Second Place: Deep Black: "Watergate 03/12/2011"
The brothers Ali and Basti Schwarz aka Tiefschwarz (Souvenir Music) are together since 1996 in the techno scene on the road and regular guests in the clubs of the world. Their sound has evolved over the years of deep-house converted into more edgy techno direction that fits perfectly in the Berlin club scene. Your Watergate set from March because I like the combination of dirty pop remixes (from 48.30 Britney Spears) roughen with electronic sounds.
Tiefschwarz @ Watergate 12:03:11 by Souvenir Music
Third Place: & Me, "07.05.2011 Watergate"
In addition to the souvenir label are electro-moderate people of no music is miles ahead. Adam Port, Me & Rampa and are inseparable from the clubs of the capital and dominate the scene. This set has made it to the top list because some of the best remixes of 2011 featured, including the DB Edit of "Limit to Your Love" (from 41.00), who has accompanied me this year with the best club nights.
& ME - Live at Watergate / / May 7th 2011 by No Music
Sarah L. (Vienna): Top 3 best concerts of 2011
First Place: FM Belfast Flex, Vienna
I do not have to think that concert for me this year is the culmination. Here where you no longer can speak of a concert, it was rather a party with friends. Great atmosphere, really good music and nice people. Everything has voted on this evening in Flex!
There are no videos, which could also carry anywhere near the experience ... who was not there, has really missed something! Nevertheless, I like the very good from Prague:

Second Place: Pantha Du Prince at Pratersauna / Vienna
A.k.a. Hendrik Weber Pantha du Prince (At least that its most abundant synonym) in June Pratersauna transformed into a soundscape. He is not someone who abuses the meantime has become very commercial concept of electronic music, like many others. In his compositions still stuck true feelings, enveloped with sounds from nature, the real life. Here and there it says to listen to a breaking branch or listen to the ringing of small bells.
An evening with Pantha du Prince behind the DJ booth calls on the club-goers, on another, perhaps more beautiful, more engaging experience with electronic music. No relentlessly driving beat, the blood through the veins you can shoot and put you into ecstasy (which is also quite nice), no, here it is the creation of new worlds of sound that will take you to dream. To his music, the mass weighs more devoutly in the rhythm, but not with less joy or euphoria. The beats are definitely club ready and danceable, they are not just so sterile and lifeless, like many others, they breathe life into the genre fresh breath!

Third Place: Editor in Hamburg / MS Dockville
Yes, yes, the MS Dockville what many called "slush Ville" could be stuck in my mind, this year, despite all the little Pännchen again contributed to a lot of good musical entertainment! It's just this very special environment of the festival site, which contributes a large part of the festival feeling. The terrain at the Hamburg Elbe Island William Castle was lit up beautifully, especially in the dark and has the character of the surrounding industrial plants emit anyway, become stronger. I was so happy on the MS Dockville 2012! Musically, for me, the editor comes to a climax.

Nicki H. (Regensburg): Top 3 best remixes of 2011
First Place: Justice: "Audio, video, disco (Para One Remix)"
"The comeback album of the two French electro-heroes by - almost unbearable for me - 4 years (!!!) was simply my personal, musical highlight 2011th In the list of my favorite tracks of the year, it could create almost any number of loose plate. In this case (almost) better than the already great original is the Para One remix of audio, video, disco. The remix of the French is a little more towards classical electro. Always a highlight disco just before closing gates. Eyes, breathe deeply, arms up. Enjoy. "

Second Place: Benny Benassi "Cinema (Skrillex Remix)"
"The musical output of the Californian in 2011 was simply breathtaking. Both qualitatively and quantitatively. Hardly anyone is at Kollabos so popular, but also a little discussion of music fans so controversial. But for me, no ifs or buts, the seminal figure in dubstep Game 2011th And this remix makes it a try one stinkfaden 8.15 Einheitsbreinummer one of the largest crusher of the year with absolutely antisocial bassline. My most probably belonging tester track of the year. Dubstep at its best! "
Popout
Third Place: Your Ol 'Lady "Nightmare (Andy's iLL Remix)"
"This number just had in my top 3 I've heard this year, ad nauseum. The two Australians were very young this year anyway under the up-and Comern in the maximum division. And Nightmare is remixed by Andy iLL's definitely one of THE Essential Tunes in each (maximum) DJ set. Massive Number "
