BEST TRACKS OF '09


These tracks remained on repeat, bombarded my playlists, found their way into my live sets and basically wouldn't leave me alone. These are my faves of a great year in music.

FEAR OF TIGERS_I CAN MAKE THE PAIN DISAPPEAR

If you don't dance to this, may God have mercy on your soul.

GOLDEN FILTER_SOLID GOLD (RUSS CHIMES RMX)

Russ gives the peak time floor treatment to an already stellar track.

BOYS NOIZE_NERVE(ANALYZER RMX)

Tekno wizardry and grumbly teeth grinding bass. Nerve makes dance halls structurally unstable.

MEECH_BOTTOM OF THE FOURTH(BARLETTS RMX)

Everything about this track is perfect.

BIONIC COMMANDO_TITLE THEME (RUSKO RMX)

Rusko, eight-bit nostalgic glory and lethal basslines

HYSTEREO_GONNA LOVE YOU

 House on the shuffle, harmonized talk boxes, bass disco groove. can't stop smiling

MAJOR LAZER_CASH FLOW (CLASSIXX REMIX)

 The golden boys of house at their best. Soaring and smooth as always.

DAS GLOW_LITE BRITE (STRIP STEVE RMX)

Gurgling beats bubbling over with sample heavy funk and pulsating synths. Groove soup, chunky style.

DIGITAL FOXGLOVE feat. FREAK YOU_BEASTS&FLOWERS


Digitalfoxglove feat. freak you_beasts&flowers
Impeccable intro fearlessly extended, tumbling head long into a relentless surging beat.


BOOTY LUV_SAY IT (SIDECHAINS RMX)


 booty luv_say it (sidechains rmx)
Tingling keys, well placed vox chops layered over elevating melodies make for madness on the floor.

ALLURE_LES DUCHESSES DE L'HOMBRE


allure_les duchesses de l'hombre
Not enough can be said about this orchestrated synth masterpiece, in true French tradition.
