2012 was undeniably the year of the Trap. The EDM scene flocked to this sound (thanks, Flosstradamus!), and cats who might've been making dubstep or Moombahton were now bringing out the 808s. Maybe it's the influx of rap tracks produced by Lex Luger, maybe it's just a desire to start something anew, but Trap was in. And will be in, with players like Baauer, Clicks & Whistles, TNGHT, and others making even more noise. My buddies at TheRapUp (whattup, Jaap?!) got put onto the sounds, and figured it'd make sense to educate the masses on some of the best examples of the sound in 2012, and who else to bring it to you than the one like Disc Jockey Nappy?! 50 minutes of 808 delight. Maybe you should peep the trailer, grab your sabers and hit play! Full tracklist after the jump.

I know there's a lot of DJs out there, right now, getting their playlists ready for whatever NYE gigs they have popping tonight/tomorrow morning. Figured I'd round up some bits that will get dancefloor bouncing, especially around the midnight hour...

@MissInfo FTW.

I spend a fuckload of time listening to music. I judge how much I fuck with the music by how long the shit stays on my BlackBerry (fuck you, I ride for mine). Here's the top tracks that I just couldn't delete from my life. Hopefully they were a part of yours...

Download this on site. Numonics is a sick producer, and dropped his debut instrumental album today. He even had J57 aka Scrooge executive produce the project, so it's definitely quality. Head on over to DJ Booth and grab it; if you pay $6, you get like six additional beats. Do NOT sleep.

Merry Christmas, producers! You have to sign up to their forums to download, but it's kind of worth it. Via.

First leak from Krash's forthcoming Krash Test Dummy EP, which is said to be dropping soon. All of you "aspiring models" should take note.

You can cop this bonus track from Skillz' last studio album, Thoughts Become Things. Via MissInfo.

I spend about three hours every weekday on trains. Those trips are spent listening to loads of mixes. From my travels, I have culled the 15 best mixes from this past year, and threw them into this handy-dandy list. Hit up Pigeons & Planes for the skinny.

While the world's not ended, this will sure make you feel like it might. Dope mix of Elucid material, both released and forthcoming. Dude's been quiet... but it definitely doesn't mean he's been sleeping. You're so not ready. Just glad I got to present it.

12 days left on this, with a long way to go. Help kickstart this awesome idea.

THIS made me so happy. Via Emilio Sparks: "Waddup Scumbags! We’ve restored the fine Experience tradition of releasing a Christmas episode for all the good girls and boys. Emilio, Joe, and Carg are even joined this time around by long time friend and former Experience member Mike. It’s a Christmas miracle! The gang discusses their Christmases past, and their plans for this year."

I was surprised when that shit leaked so early. Usually, it's a week or so these days. What can you do?!

The world's set to blow up or whatever in less than two hours... why not go out with a bang, checking out what could potentially be the last AnimalStatuS show from DJ Wonder?! I love that he has no problem dropping classic Diplomats one minute, then killing some UZ x CRNKN tracks not too far after. Quality selection of dope shit. Proper end of the world playlist for you party peoples out there.

@Dallas_Penn cameos FTW.

This is Part 2 of the latest episode; Part 1 was the massive Ebro Darden interview. Via TheCombatJackShow: "Joe at his most zen, talks candidly about the women in his life, who takes his sex pics, Eminem’s impact on him, his upcoming reality tv show, why he throws rude twitter chicks out his shows, why nothing no longer bothers him and his SlaughterHouse brotherhood."

Assuming the world doesn't end tomorrow, expect to have this before the end of 2012. Shouts to TheRapUp and Disc Jockey Nappy for collaborating with a playa.

Shouts to them!
