I forgot to add these to honorable mentions (too late to edit post):

 

Gaslamp Killer - Breakthrough

Flying Lotus - Until the Quiet Comes

[cear]

[sweepstakes]

I should probably be disqualified for not listening to enough new music but:

- R.I.P.

- good kid, m.A.A.d city

- Galaxy Garden (sure, why not)

 

I keep thinking there's more but everything else I think of was released in 2010 or 2011 and I just started getting into it now. :/

I know what you mean. I feel bad for not supporting enough artists I like directly, I try to be a better listener in that regard, but honestly don't feel bad for listening to stuff from 2010/2011 now. I use to download mp3s from blogs and sites like pfork and fact all the time on a daily basis, and rarely listened to 99.8% of those tracks again. It's better to stumble upon things you really like months or years later than stay on top of the newest releases, radio premieres, etc. (unless it's an artist you really like.) Rather be out of the loop than superficial.

a few more nominations:

Levon Vincent - Fabric 63 mix

Ricardo Villalobos - Dependent and Happy

 

Stephan Mathieu + Caro Mikalef - Radioland (Panoramica)

[Guest Hanratty]

I think it should be a tie between Actress and Legowelt. Did Legowelt release any albums in 2012? I can't keep up but it seems like he's always got something new, and it's always pretty good.
