Annie MacManus's annual compilation has become a barometer of clubland's trends. The releases and accompanying club dates have made the Dublin-born BBC Radio One queenpin a trusted brand for many when it comes to dance music. Her stock-in-trade is the big-room tune that provides a rush of endorphins on both radio and dancefloor. You'll probably recognise the heavy hitters here, such as Secondcity's I Wanna Feel, Route 94's My Love and Gorgon City's epic Ready for Your Love. But the lesser-known cuts are just as worthy of attention. Jamie xx's All Under One Roof Raving, Heartbreaker from MSTRKRFT, newcomer Lapsley's Falling Short, and the spine-tingling Can't Do Without You from Caribou all provide ballast and intrigue to offset the giddy dancefloor pop elsewhere. anniemacpresents.com
