Not too many jocks can go from a Pilooski edit to the rumbling offerings of the Tempa label to a classic Beach Boys song and back again, throwing in a few Quiet Village dubs or the latest Martin Buttrich minimal twister along the way, without crashing the dance like a Trench Town rudie in a full-on testosterone flush. But Talinn's Madis Nestor brings the magpie-sense that comes from sifting through stacks and stacks of records almost every day – and he manages to make it all sound like soul music. Here’s what he unearthed and/or brought to heavy rotation in 2008.

Plus some YouTube goodness for your Friday pleasure, as usual.
