Here is the list of our favorite releases of 2013: not quite as deep as last year's list, which probably has more to do with our increasingly/intently focused listening habits (I feel like I listened to nothing but Anxiety for a month straight early this year, thus its spot at the top) than the quality of this year's offerings.

If this doesn't convince you to grab your tix, you're probably a lost cause: the official GvsB III mix by Dallas' own Booty Fade.

We are beyond thrilled to announce the lineup for the party of the summer here in TX: GvsB III at Dallas' historic Granada Theater on Friday, August 23. Best lineup yet, as far as we're concerned, starring: Danny Brown (detroit) Blue Hawaii (montreal) HAERTS (germany/the UK/brooklyn) Empress Of (brooklyn) Booty Fade (dallas) More to come about all of these amazing artists in the very near future

We spent an inordinate amount of time listening to (and trying to make) mixes this year. Here's a collection of some of our favorites from the past 12 months, all of which were huge sources of discovery + inspiration for us. And we're always up for more, so feel free to hook us up with recommendations for any essential mixes we might have missed...

So many records this year. We had to stop somewhere though, so check our top 50 of 2012 -- complete with an unbreakable (we tried) tie at the top -- after the jump, listen along with this massive Spotify playlist, and then, as always, we can talk about what you think we missed.

Thanks to everyone that packed out the Granada for GvsB II, and eternal love to Glass Candy, Chromatics, Twin Sister, Taken By Trees, Laurel Halo, A.Dd+, Sober + Yours Truly for making the night so memorable. Check some photos + videos from the evening below, tons more after the jump. See y'all next year.
