Looking at the 2006 tracks I've got I'd say the trend for me has been lush atmospheric dancefloor tracks, influenced by the minimal trend but rooted in deep dance music instead of heady complexity like much of the minimal stuff I hear. Some recent favorites:
Rodamaal - Insomnia feat. Claudia - Buzzin Fly really deep atmosphere with sexy portuguese(?) vocals John Tejada - Sucre feat. Qzen - Palette about as jack influenced as I've heard from tejada. the vocals lend a tough attitude that I dig. Paul Woolfred, Bobby Peru - Erotic Discourse - 2020 Vision I think either tejada or bell played this when they came. regardless I go nuts over the weird granular delays and the raw stabby square bass. Julien Jabre - Swimming Places - Defected tied with Dj Gregorys Faya Combo Cuts vol. 2 for my favorite "accessible" house record so far.
