Last night the Association of Independent Music (AIM) gave Black Butter Records the title of Best Small Label 2012 and we couldn't think of a more worthy winner.

Two years into the game, Black Butter put out arguably the biggest dance crossover track of the year with Rudimental's Feel the Love, Hackman's remix of Syron's Breaking has been one of our favourite tunes of the past 12 months, and with other artists like F.E.A.R and Woz on their books they've got depth, variety and most importantly quality oozing out of their mastering studios.

The saw off the challenge from Alcopop! Records, Brainfeeder, Pink Mist and Xtra Mile Recordings to claim the gong and to celebrate, we've pulled together this playlist of some of our favourite BB Records.

Yellow Claw may not be a household name outside of the Netherlands but have a look at their youtube channel and you'll be hard pressed to find one of their singles with less than a 2,000,000 views. They take the newest sounds from the club and drive them off a cliff. The ATM or Amtsterdam Trap Music EP is nothing short of that insanity. Their brand new EP for Jeffree's starts off with "Kaolo" a eastern infused banger with mad dhol's from the start that turns into tripped out tibetan trap complete with monk bells and prayers. W.O.L.F follows that with a track built around a vocal phrase that never gets tired, "Turn up the volume, Watch the bass get them open", pure fire. "4 in the Morning," is another huge trap selection with a perfect rnb vocal hook. The drop sounds like a murder scene from an all cyborg version of Psycho. Yellow Claw rounds out the package with "21 Bad Bitches" their swaggest out players anthem. All these tracks are locked and ready to go, the amsterdam trap sound is a monster.
