TAPE Awards 2006 - Voting Closes Soon!
So it's reached that point in the year again - time for the end of year lists to come out. Seeing as it's the end of TAPE's first year in the blogosphere, I thought that we'd do our own little awards type thing to honour the great DJs, acts, and releases of 2006. The categories are listed below, and you can vote in the comments section of this very post. Also, to make things a bit more interesting, I thought I'd tie in a little competition. Everyone who gets the correct answer will get their name put into a hat, and the winner will get a fresh new double 12" copy of a TAPE favourite, Morgan Geist and Darshan Jesrani's self-titled Metro Area LP. By the way, due to the nature of the question, people who know us personally aren't allowed to enter. So there.The categories for the awards are:
12" Single Of The Year
LP Of The Year
Compilation Of The Year
DJ Of The Year
MixTAPE Of The Year
Nominations:
Richard Carnage - After Hours
Richard Carnage - Don't Techno For An Answer

Competition question: If you add up all the ages of the TAPE members (that's Mr Soft, Puffin Jack, and me - Richard Carnage), what number do you get?
As I said earlier, get your votes and competition answer in the comments box. If you do know us, don't worry, you can still make your votes count in the poll. If you're leaving an anonymous comment, then leave your name to prevent multiple votes and to make sure that we know who's won the competition. So what are you waiting for - get voting!

answer: 71 i think-.
it'd be helpful if the nominations we're divided by categories. Do we have to vote for these nominees or can we suggest our own?
12 Inch - Dump Truck Ep/Cobblestone Jazz
LP - Return To Cookie Mountain/TV on the Radio
Compilation - Warp Works & Twentieth Century Masters/London Sinfonietta
DJ - James Holden/Prins Thomas
Mixtape - Mutant Disco
Honorary Mentions - Sly Mongoose, Tiny Sticks, See Mi Yah remixes, Doobledub.
I reckon the combined age of Tape must be 70. Can't split Holden and Prins so sorry about that.
Thanks for that, kept me busy during the lunch break.
moka - the nominations provided are just for the 'mixTAPE of the year' category, that is the best homegrown mixtape posted on the blog. If you haven't heard any of 'em, get downloading, or feel free to leave that category out of your submission.

12": Luciano & Salif Keita - Yamore (Remix)

12" Revelee _ Delia & Gavin. C'mon the CC remix knocked everyones socks off and the the dfa remix slips in under the radar for pure summer bliss.
12" - 'Qawali' by Pinch, probably the most played 12" at Tape's Bristol offices in the '06
LP - 'Donuts' by JDilla, stunning!
DJ - off the top of my head i'll say Optimo, but I might change my mind!
need to have a bit more of a think on the other categories...
our guest chart isn't in there? cheeky ;)
i suppose we're not allowed to enter either eh!
Hey Alex - hope you had a good time on Thursday. Shame that we were busy playing as we definitely would've hooked up with you otherwise. Erm... regarding the guest chart, you didn't do us a mix so you don't get in there! Of course you're allowed to enter though - the Skull Juice massive's opinion is always valued!

also, look out for my TAPE Review of the Year, which I've been slaving over for weeks now, and which will be unveiled before xmas appears - intended, apart from anything, to compensate for my relative blogging quietness, it will include my top 50 singles of the year, and a more narrative look at the top producers, productions, moments, djs, nights, trends and general bollocks that 2006 has given us. To think i spent the first half of the year moaning about the lack of good tunes....
12": Shackleton - Skull Disco 3
LP: Convextion 2xLP (finally...)
DJ: Ricardo Villalobos
compilation: Tropicalia
competiton: 70 years old..
that LP is my electronic LP of the year, btw. doubt it'd top an overall chart... I'd go for 'Donuts' or one of Andrew Chalk's numerous offerings there
12"= Todd Terje - Eurodans (might be 2005, but the perfect electro-sensuality of that track just made my heart melt)
LP = tough one. Can't think of anything. Je passe
DJ = Francois K. His deepspace gig is a must see before dying folks!
Compilation = the innervsions compilation. Best label of the year by far.

Sean Johnston - Autumn Machine Music
Gets my vote for mix of 2006.
One of a couple of heavily rinsed mixes from Sean - good stuff.
BS.
12'': Loco Dice - Harrisa
LP: Quenum & Lee Van Dowski - As Told on the Eve of....
Compilation - I'll get back to you on this one
DJ - Magda (She will play in Bristol soon I'll make sure of it!!)

Harrisa 12 inch of the year? Bloody hell not sure about that one.
12": Cobblestone Jazz - Dump Truck
LP: Jeff Samuel - Step
MixTAPE: Richard Carnage - Don't Techno For An Answer
Age: 75
other than dump truck the new superdub of kiki - trust me is pretty unreal
errrrrrr i dunno how old is who??????????????? really fucking old is my guess.what do i win?never win nothing.just here to cast my vote on some Sean Johnston - Autumn Machine Music...which is obviously best of the mixes
(not heard theothers though hahahahahahahahahahahhaha)
does that still count?
Your vote stands, Miss Forsberg, but please thing of at least trying to vote for something else, even if it's bloody Razorlight for the best album! If you like Sean's mixes then you're bound to have an ear for a good tune. Anyway... less of this bickering and on with more voting!
books on tape? i find them very good
so..... can i vote for pd james 'murder of the doorhandle on the first floor'?no? i shall say no more from before mr johnston denies any knowledge of our friendship.ok were second cousins.not friends.i dont bicker.
The Loco Dice EP is brilliant, in my opinion of course. Four quality pieces of music that I can't stop listening to. Admitidly it has only just been release and may be a bit soon to be calling my favourite EP of the year..... Anyway, it stays as my favourite EP of the year closely followed by Seph's Wooden EP, Martin Buttrich's - Full Clip EP (his one on Poker Flat is wicked too) and the EP on Clever Music that has the Gurtz Remix of Magda Has a Little Troll.
I can't think of favourite compilation bbut my favourite mix is Butane - Live @ The Works in Detroit. Classy afterhours madness.
Puffin - Have you got the internet installed in your gentlemans lounge now? You seem to be on the net rather a lot these days.
12" - Cobblestone Jazz 'India In Me' Wagon Repair AND My My 'Butterflies & Zebras' Aus Music (I can't choose one and you can't make me!)
LP - Camille 'Le Fil'
Compilation - Cassy 'Panorama Bar 01' on Ostgut
DJ - Craig Richards
Mixtape - afterhours
I'd like to change my DJ vote from Ricardo V to Luciano + Craig Richards. the combination of them together. two best nights out of the year, hands down.
totally forgot about that full clip ep, thanks for the reminder mr bull

fuck, Larry Heard ft Mr White -- The Sun Can't Compare is a serious late contender for 12 of the year. anyone who was there for Luciano at Fabric and stayed it out to the end will know exactly what I mean.
The sun definitely can't compaare with how hard it is to get a copy of that tune. An mp3 to richardcarnes@hotmail.co.uk would be much appreciated. Any ideas for LP. DJ or complation?
Cheers!
I already voted further up. is the 12 that hard to track down? digitally I only have it as a cut out from a Luciano set, shoddy sound quality, but better than nothing.
I'm a bit late, sorry.
