• Top 10 Dance Collections of 2008, Both Mixed and Unmixed

  By Randall RobertsAny knucklehead with DSL and a laptop can now make an electronic track. With a half hour of clicking and fiddling, you can sample enough cheesy beats and mashups to clog arteries from here to Berlin. Simple dropdown mouse maneuvers can transform electro tracks into progressive house tracks (from dry and synthetic to wet and gushy), rhythm tracks can be tempo-tweaked with an upward toggle to change a Timbaland beat into a Chromeo one. Add some T-Pain-esque pitch-correction voca

• Top 10 Latin Music Albums of 2008

  Americans who still think of Latin music as mariachi bands and gyrating Ricky Martins and Shakiras might want to lend a closer ear to the genre. This country's Hispanic population isn't just growing, it's growing more diverse. More and more unique musical styles are being gobbled up, and that should come as good news to alternative gringos hoping to spruce up their castellano. This year's Latin-music highlights come from all over the Spanish-speaking map. We'll start in the farthest geographic

• Free Prince Tribute From Spin

  Spin mentioned this Prince tribute they were doing well over a month ago in celebration of Purple Rain turning 25 this month, and I've been looking forward to it something crazy. This month's copy of the magazine showed up in the mail last Monday, and I immediately flipped to the page with the URL. I went to it, only to discover that the download wouldn't be available until June 23. Thankfully, that's today, and the download went live around 7am. You have to give Spin your e-mail address, and h

• Adios, Kiko De Gallo.

  ​It is with a combination of pride and regret that we announce the imminent departure from our midst of local DJ and scene-uplifter Kiko De Gallo. After moving to town three years ago and dropping beats on every dance floor in town that mattered, Kiko (real name: Francisco Asis Morillo Otero, b. Cadiz, Spain) is bound for the sunny beaches of Miami. Kiko is one of the nicest and most positive DJs in town, and we're sorry to see him go. Speaking of nice, let's hope you, sir, were kind to K

• New releases, Tuesday, September 1

  Laughin' and Cryin' with the Reverend Horton Heat is the new album from the rockabilly lifers. It's on Yep Roc, and stands to be more of the usual from the Rev., although the label's saying that it's more honky-tonk than usual. You can also get this ridiculous deluxe edition that comes with a shot glass, tribute compilation, and is housed in a replica speedometer. Crazy. ​Banner Pilot's Collapser comes fast on the heels of their Go Kart Records breakthrough, Resignation Day. The new one's
