There is no doubt, Le Matos made one hell of a remix here. The heaven descent vocals of Coeur De Pirate and the wonderful synth works of Canadas finest became an insta classic when I first heard it. This collab was meant to be and this remix will never grow old, pure gold and a well deserved 1st pick. I said it back then, and I’ll say it again, more Le Matos feat Coeur de Pirate PLEASE.

Russ Chimes turned Frankmusiks ‘Confusion Girl’ into a shimmering synth explosion with layers and layers of extasy. Who doesn’t love this seriously? A magnificent track and a killer in the clubs. Question still stands, why wasn’t this chosen to be released?

Marina and the Diamonds said - “This is the best remix anyone has ever made for me” and I think we all agree, it’s simply off the hook! Swedish diamond Mille has shown everybody out there what he is capable of, debuting with his ‘Crysteena’ 12″ in january. 2010 is his year.

A really strong moment of 2009. Edwin van Cleefs remix of ProCons ‘Delia’. It’s a mindblowing outer space experience, the melancholic synth work, the driving pulsating bassline, vocoder heaven. Simply awesome, and a mystery to me only Valerie and Dödselectro posted this before. A random guy named Magnus commented on this last time I posted it saying - “OMFG! inject Delia Remix into my blood.” I couldn’t agree more.

Grum has had a really busy year, throwing remixes out left and right. Heartbeats was released recently and things are really just looking up for this dude. One of his strongest moments in 2009 is definitly this Passion Pit remix. With stunning tekniques he brings the vocals to their peak accompanied by the typical grum bassline. The build and the drop makes this one of our weapons of choice this year.

Diamond Cut came out of nowhere in 2009, hitting it big with a bunch of classy remixes. His interpretation of Cinnamon Chasers ‘I Like Watching You’ is a milestone in the art of sythesizer magic. This guy is truly a wizard at work and I’m really looking forward to what Diamond Cut will present in 2010.

Alex Metric is known to drop essential club tracks. Dj’s can’t live without him, the blogs love him and we.. well we could have picked any remix from this dude, as they all are top notch. Strongest one that really expresses the power of Alex Metric though is his Bloc Party remix. It contains some epic builds and drops and it will burn any roof out there. Just turn the volume up and let this baby loose.

We’ve seen a lot of Bag Raiders remixes out there this year. There are many ace ones not to speak of the originals as well. This one right here though is right up our alley, the ‘Turbo Love’ remix from Light Year is a funky disco blast that has rocked our parties and our pants, but gotten too little attention on the webs. A Worthy selection.

Californian Algeronics stunned us and the whole blog world out there with this UNOFFICIAL remix of Daft Punk’s ‘Digital Love’. I still find myself listening to it over and over just to discover how the hell this dude made a remix better than the original. Clearly though, it’s just brilliant and Algeronics got some mad skills!

Picking a favourite Designer Drugs remix of the year is not easy, dudes are at the top of the game. When it comes down to it though, their remix of Annies ‘Anthonio’ is pretty damn epic. Fell in love from the first listen and we all here find it the strongest one released by these beasts in 2009. This could well be an original. A clean pick! To finish this list off.
