The Gear section has quickly become one of the most popular parts of XLR8R, and we like to think that's because many of our readers are as interested in the tools for creating music as they are in the music itself. Whatever the reason may be, our In the Studio, Artist Tips, and From Studio to Stage features, as well as the assorted gear reviews, continue to dominate XLR8R's publishing schedule, so we figured that gear coverage should make it into our Best of 2013 content as well. As such, we've put together a countdown of our five favorite pieces of hardware and software that appeared throughout the year; if we've calculated correctly, there's a good chance that these tools will be shaping the sounds of 2014 and beyond.

Ron Morelli's Long Island Electrical Systems label has become a critical darling over the past couple of years. Essentially the focal point of a certain brand of largely hardware-driven underground house and techno coming out of New York City (although the label includes artists from Paris and Berlin, among other locales, on its roster as well), the imprint's image has been bolstered by Morelli's singular, uncompromising vision—which includes a marked reticence to embrace digital formats and a passion for murky, lo-fi sonics. The label boss is also something of an ideological mouthpiece for the label, which he often defines in opposition to prevailing dance-music trends; it's all there in the title of this latest release, Music for Shut-Ins, which Morelli elaborates is "club music for people who hate going to the club." Continuing what will hopefully be an annual trend of releasing a double-disc compilation of the year's highlights along with previously unreleased material from the label's artists, Music for Shut-Ins follows last year's acclaimed American Noise compilation, and while that release felt like something of a coming of age and a reflection of the label's growing legitimacy, this latest collection digs deeper, highlighting the diversity and experimental tendencies of the L.I.E.S. roster.

French DJ/producer iZem has spent the last seven or so years touring in places like Portugal, Brazil, and Argentina, and has since been using those experiences to inform his own brand of tropical-inspired dance music. An edit of legendary Cuban singer Celia Cruz, "Celia" sees iZem juxtaposing elements of hip-hop and forward-thinking bass music with a decidedly Latin-influenced palette. Cruz's vocals phase through the mix, filling the space with natural ambiance as the laid-back groove struts underneath samples of chants and crowds.
