Great thread, and I suspect everyone will have their own wildly different top 10, such is the creative force of the mu. In no particular order;

iTAL tEK - Cyclical

Venetian Snares - Filth

Eero Johannes - s/t

Ceephax Acid Crew - United Acid Emirates

iTAL - Dream On

Last Step - Sleep (and the bonus tracks)

The Gasman - The Grand Electric Palace of Variety

Frog Pocket - Come on primates show your teeth!

Boxcutter - Arecibo Message

U-Ziq - Chewed Corners /xtlp

Loads I've missed off and I could easily do a top 10 singles / ep list. Maybe later

Props to Mike P for sure, so much good stuff enjoyed and many riches still to discover. Moving thru the years from I.D.M to breakcore, dubstep to footwork. Heres to 25 more.

3 ) Luke Vibert - Lover's Acid

damn, I forgot about my man Barry these last couple of years. I rate Oneiric/Glyphic higher than Arecibo though that was also pretty good.

Ital Tek is probably my favourite artist that Mu has introduced me to.

Hrvatski - Swarm N Dither
Leafcutter John - The Housebound Spirit

Kid Spatula - Full Sunken Breaks
Venetian Snares - Winter in the belly of a snake
