Mile wide smile club top 50 of 2011!!

Well, here it is! Pow!
What an amazing year for the underground. A glut of top notch releases from a wealth of producing talent and it makes me proud to say that the larger percentage in the MWSC top 50 are British.
With the accessibility of technology and software and the interest of people wanting to produce good quality dance music, i can foresee 2012 being as productive, if not more productive than 2011

For this compilation i started with about 100 tracks and i have to say it was really difficult to whittle it down to a top 50.
Maybe i could have got them all in if i had done a top 20 albums, 12", 7" etc but hey, i have to work too you know.
