Is it time to start listing the best tracks of year already? Why yes, yes it is. Now, a lot of these tracks have been available for a while (e.g. last year or in the GT 2010 preview), but they either had their official release this year or I just thought they should be on this list for some other reason or another. Without further ado, I give you the first volume of the Best Downloadables of 2010.

As you probably already heard, Diplo gathered together a bunch of remixers to ply their craft to their favorite tracks from major label rap artist Gucci Mane‘s triology The Cold War Mixtapes. The resulting free album Free Gucci (Best of The Cold War Mixtapes) features the knob tweaking of Memory Tapes, SALEM, Flying Lotus, Zomby, DJ Teenwolf, among others. Listen…

Downloadable: Excuse Me (Memory Tapes Remix) (mp3)

As you may already know, Adult Swim has a long history of releasing rad mixtapes. It all started with the Occult Hymn EP by Danger Doom. Then came: Definitive Swim (Def Jux themed), Warm And Scratchy (indie rock themed), Ghostly Swim (Ghostly Int’l themed), and most recently African Swim (African hip hop themed). Now Adult Swim has a new mixtape entitled ATL RMX, which teams up Atlanta rappers with a wide variety of remixers. And now a couple of tracks from said free mixtape.

Downloadables:
Take Off (Michna Remix) (mp3) by Young Dro
Good Night (HEALTH Remix) (mp3) by OJ Da Juiceman featuring Gucci Mane

Some of the other remixers on the album include: SALEM, Flying Lotus, Memory Tapes, Dam-Funk, Phaseone, Hudson Mohawke, and Prefuse 73.

The album is a cross-promotion for Rockstar’s app named Beaterator, which is a Timbaland-inspired remix app.
