Musically, 2009 was a great year. We got some incredibly talented new artists and hundreds, if not thousands of new releases that have pushed the complexity and creativity of electronic music. It’s been a tough year trying to keep up with all the new music while juggling Sawtooth, school, a full time job and current unemployment. Without the support and comments, Sawtooth couldn’t keep pushing forward. So I’d like to shout out to some artists who reached out to and kept in contact with Sawtooth throughout the year: Two Fingers, King Cannibal, Noisia, Control Freak, Spoonbill and BEE Records. I’d also like to thank Andy, Megan and Jim for contributing great reviews and hope they keep ‘em coming!

Unfortunately, we’re not ready to dive into 2010 yet because of the long list of artists we still haven’t reviewed from last year. We’ll try to get these out shortly so we can get back on track with new releases. Among some of the near-future reviews are Nosaj Thing, Ruxpin, John Tejada, HECQ, Broken Note, Eskmo, Brackles, Shortstuff, Fuck Buttons, Luke Vibert, Moderat and Little Dragon.

Thank you all for a great first year.
