Beginning of the end... or the end of the beginning


And so the year draws to it’s inexorable close. With many aware of the Mayan prediction that we will enter a new age after Winter Solstice on December 21, a date that’s been called everything from the dawning of a new age of consciousness – good - to doomsday – not good - 2012 has been filled with a sense of gravitas.


In the hedonistic world of clubland, we’ve certainly partied like it’s the end of days. The summer was packed full of more festivals than ever before as EDM rose like a new religion to soothe those buffeted by natural disaster, economic hardship and the inescapable feeling that things just aren’t right.


Will 2013 herald a change in fortunes? Ultimately, whatever the predictions, that’s for us to decide. For now, we’ve cast our eyes back over the best singles, albums and compilations of the last twelve months, and chosen some of the best parties to help you see out the rest of this momentous year.
