1. Casino – Running on back to you (Cosair)

A genius mixture of thumping house beats and sweaty amphetamine laced Northern Soul, this track has been at the top of the tree for me all year and when you hear it, it will be so for yours too. An obvious juxtaposition which begs the question why this wasn’t done before, dance music mixed together from now and the 70’s Wigan nightclubs where Northern Soul thrived. All glued together perfectly with vocal hysterics so over the top it sounds like Sly and the family Stone if they lived in Streatham or like Tom Jones down at Trade after shoving a couple of round ones up his arse…disgusting analogy for a disgustingly brilliant track, nothing can touch this, not even come near.
