I just got my deck setup sorted properly (although I still need a new mixer eventually!) so because of that I'm well behind on music. What do everyone recommend as the best tracks of 2009?
For some inspiration the labels I seem to have enjoyed the most are along the lines of Anjunabeats/deep, Discover, Vandit... Was really into the likes of John O'Callaghan, Bryan Kearney, Simon Patterson, Thomas Bronzwaer. I also like a bit of prog stuff every now and then, similar stuff to what you'd get on Anjunadeep.
Surprise me!
My NYE CD burn list as promised. Not all are new, some are big tracks from the year i hadn't got round to burning, others are newer and discovered after a whole dig of trance digging. I love 'trance digging' days

Other comments
-Definitely check out 'Eudaimonia' it's probably my track of 09.
-Gary Maguire is immense, without a doubt
the artist to look out for this year.
-Marcos will continue to be amazing but probably, sadly, continue to go largely unrecognised.
-Bryan Kearney has his new label and some of his own productions at the minute are amazing, can't wait to see what he pulls out this year.
-Tigran Organezov is the best his kind (i say kind because i'm not quite sure what the subgenre is!) in the world
-Hoping for another big year from Indecent Noise, his DJing skills are undoubted, and his productions are getting better and better
-John O'Callaghan has escaped from Armada by starting his new label (yay!) so i'm praying for no more crap like 'Find yourself'
-John Askew released some stunners last year, more of the same please john!
