FLUXBLOG 2007 SURVEY MIX

The celebration of the 10th anniversary of this site continues on with this collection of the best and most notable music of 2007. It’s a pretty great year, especially if you like up-tempo pop music. There’s a really great spirit to a lot of this stuff, and a sense of joy and passion coming through after a few years dominated by what I think was essentially a Bush-era malaise. I don’t think this year matches the energy of 2003, but in some ways it’s kinda like a really good sequel, with lots of artists who bubbled up around that time delivering their biggest hits.

The survey mixes for 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2010 and 2011 are still up. Check in on August 1st for a look back on 2008.
