Possibly 2009′s most internet-hyped producer, Joy Orbsion successfully maintained his trajectory to the top all year with a string of solid singles and remixes. Above is a brand new song entitled ‘She Dressed In Her Best,’ which further developes and emphasizs the percussive, melodic, chop-sample heavy sound that became Orbison’s trademark in 09. Emerging from the same London scene as Shortstuff, Darkstar, L-Vis 1990 and Bok Bok (amongst others), this was the year when dubstep-ish tracks with intricate drum syncopation and interweaving harmonies became the focal point for many of the most forward-thinking producers (although the mega-bass wobble scene continued to expand in to the mainstream, leading to such labels ‘brostep’). Well received by both critics and dancefloors alike, I can’t think of an artist who blew me away more in 09 than Joy Orbison. Hit the jump to stream all his goodness from this year, and hit Beatport to purchase the proper releases.
