The time has come to present selections from our favorite albums of 2011! After another year of terrific releases, we’ve collectively assembled two hours of some notable beats. We hope you enjoy this look back on some of the year’s best future music!
There were many highlights over the year, and we’d like to thank WCRS for their continued support as well as our listeners in Columbus, Bali, and abroad!
Below we have included 10 consensus favorites, as well as our individual 20 favorite albums of the year. We encourage you to send us your own favorites and recommendations to dj@beatoracle.net. On New Year’s Eve we’ll be airing part two of our best of 2011 special, and will feature some of our favorite songs from 12†singles, EPs, and albums we couldn’t include in this week’s episode. Thanks again to our listeners and to all who came out to see us live. Be prepared for more great “future music†in 2012!
