After EJECT! and Jack Herror posted the top 10 producers and tracks of 2009 I decided to tackle the third and final top 10 list: The Top 10 Biggest Hypes of 2009! There were a lot of hypes in 2009, some annoying, some hard to resist, some deserved, some not and so on. I’ll try explaining as good as possible why I picked these tracks/artists/genres as the biggest hypes of 2009, but I’m absolutely sure, the position and even the fact if they were a hype or not, are discussable. So, please don’t hold back in the comments!
#1. Warp (The Bloody Beetroots)
I think the reason for this first position is rather clear. Warp was probably the most played track at the general electro partys. Even though the most critical followers of the genre said it to be a cheap rip-off of Dominator by the Human Resources, everyone tagged along and happily screamed “WOOP WOOP” followed by chaotic “jumping around”. The “sample” wasn’t probably milked out enough so The Bloody Beetroots came with a successor Warp 1977, which is even filthier … but the same. (I’ll have to admit, in the end … I’m still not sick of it) My favourite version/remix still is:

The Bloody Beetroots ft Steve Aoki – Warp 1.9 (GTRONIC BadAssRMX)
#2. Pon De Floor (Major Lazer)
Now this is a hype, I am sick of listening too! Pon De Floor was probably the biggest “dance” hit this summer. And because there was a remix competition going on around Pon De Floor there was an endless flood of remixes aswel. Even now it still gets played. Last week at Soulwaxmas I heard it twice and still people go absolutely crazy on this one. I was hoping this hype would have ended before 2010?

Major Lazer – Pon De Floor (Chewy Chocolate Cookies Remix)
#3. Crookers
The Crookers scored very well in my opinion with their latest freebies “We Love Animals” ft Soulwax and Mixhell (even though I doubt the fact that the Crookers had a lot of input into that track) and “No Security” ft Kelis. Before those tracks the next track we remember is probably their Day N Nite remix. Even though it was a remix of 2008 the biggest hype came early 2009. The remix got his own videoclip and was played everywhere : radio, tv, partys around the corner,… . I remember that I even made a post about how sick I was about hearing the crookers everywhere. I posted the original version by Kid Cudi which still is f-ing good:

Kid Cudi – Day N Nite (Nightmare)
#4. Bonkers (Dizzee Rascal ft. Armand Van Helden)
Bo.. bo … bo bo bo BONKERS! Same story as with Pon De Floor actually. Massive summerhit and still a track even 2manydj’s throws in their djset (a personal edit of course). Actually I should have put Dizzee Rascal himself on place 4 instead of Bonkers, because he scored a lot of hits this year: Dance Wiv Me, Holiday, Dirty Cash. Dance Wiv Me and Holiday were btw both a cooperation with Calvin Harris who we’ll see later on in the top 10.

Dizzee Rascal – Bonkers (Doorly Remix)
#5. Riverside (Sidney Samson)
RIVERSIDE MOTHERF*CKER!
Sidney Samson – Riverside (Tc Remix) – Deleted on request
#6. La Roux
Probably the biggest fresh artist of this year. The first time we got in contact with La Roux was Quicksand on the Kitsuné Maison compilation (nr6 if I recall well). But it wasn’t until the Skream let’s get ravey remix of “In For The Kill” the bigger audience got to know La Roux. Massive, massive dub-step track with the breath taking vocal work by La Roux leadsingster Elly (Eleanor) Jackson. Bulletproof which was actually the second single (before In For The Kill) scored very well in the hitcharts.

La Roux – In For The Kill (Skream Lets Get Ravey Remix)
#7. Dubstep
Dubstep gained a lot of popularity in 2009. Mainly because of the remixes of the more commercial tracks. I then am thinking about remixes as: Bonkers (Doorly Remix), In For The Kill (Skream let’s get ravey Remix), Warrior’s Dance (Benga Remix) who even were on one of the latest compilations of Studio Brussel. It’s also since this year that we started posting dub-step mainly thanks to the addition of Jack Herror to the team.

#8. Miike Snow
My favourite hype of 2009: Miike Snow! Where the hell did he come from? I don’t know, but there he was with is song called Animal, a real feel good track. And soon the first remixes came, I think Animal had more then 7 remixes (Treasure Fingers, Crookers, Fake Blood, …), love it! Then another popular track was Black & Blue remixed by Tiga, Savage Skulls, Netsky … all banging remixes of which Savage Skulls remix is my personal favourite. For some of the other remixes I would like to refer to RCRDLBL who has a lot of them available for download.

Miike Snow – Black & Blue (Savage Skulls Remix)
#9. Calvin Harris
Calvin Harris is someone who has been around longer then most people think, but with his latest album “Ready For The Weekend” he gained some serious popularity with the commercial crowds. Not Alone and Ready For The Weekend knew a big success in the hitcharts. He also was producer for artists as Dizzee Rascal and Kylie Minogue. I first wanted to post something of his older album “I Created Disco”, but because I bet some of you guys were missing the High Contrast Remix of Ready For The Weekend in The Hoax mixtape best DnB tracks of 2009:

Calvin Harris – Ready For The Weekend (High Contrast Remix)
#10. Dutch House / Dirty House
I’m not following the genre at the moment, but it was without a doubt a big year for the Dutchies. Afrojack scored more then once and his remix of another Dutch producer/dj Dj Chuckie with Moombah was a big hit this summer. Laidback Luke created a hype with his cooperation with Lee Mortimer “Blau” of which the release got delayed more then once. And there are still many more Dutch producers I should be naming here, like these guys:

Everytime I go to big events as I Love Techno or like Soulwaxmas last week I always hope to discover some new tracks and artists. My biggest discovery at Soulwaxmas last week is most definitely this Belgian artist: Paul Chambers. His unreleased track “Yeah, Techno!” got picked up by 2manydj’s who wanted to play it in their “video-wall” djset/show, but because the track wasn’t released yet, it didn’t had a cover or anything. So in 3 days time a cover was designed and the animators of 2manydj’s show made an animation for it as it was seen at Soulwaxmas.
The performances of Paul Chambers himself are always live with his synths etc… as you can see in these two videos: Paul Chambers Live at Soulwaxmas 2008 and Paul Chambers Live at Bomb O Matic. He hasn’t found any label yet for a release of “Yeah, Techno!”, but with the support of 2manydj’s, Erol Alkan, Mixhell and of course us, things are seem to be going the right way! Show your support by becoming a fan on his facebook page.
Ego Thieves are back with another heavy dubstep mixtape. Their Dubfluencial series always get the support of some big artists, who sometimes like to share exclusive tracks with them. As you can see, some of the tunes are downloadable as well (right click/save target as…).

Boys Noize Records has been doing great lately. Their latest release “Delta Disco” by Strip Steve really got me pumped. I’m also looking out for the Transmission EP by Boys Noize which is coming out in February. A nice fact about the EP is that it will be divided into two parts, part 1 will be released on the 8th of February while part 2 is set two weeks later. The other main difference between the two parts are the artists remixing it. Part 1 will represent remixes from Mr.Oizo and Djedjotronic and will also include a club and accapella version of the original by Boys Noize himself. Part 2, on the other hand, is filled with remixes by Untold, James Ruskin and the one and only Tiga. Here’s a small medley that will give you a small taste on what to expect:

Another nice remix that I discovered comes from Analyzer. His remix of Nerve really gave the original track more punch by adding some small but very noticable changes. Be sure to check out his blog because he’s got many other tracks/remixes worth checking out!

I would like to end this post with another christmas gift. Boys Noize edited a remix by Siriusmo which he did for Chromeo‘s “Night by Night”.

… more tracks! I could have easily added them to the post below. But this way you guys won’t look over it. And for this post I’ll add some more “comments” to the tracks.
Uffie is finally coming with that long expected album next year. The first track we got from here was “Pop The Glock” which was actually an older track, but it now has his own videoclip and … remixes. This next fresh remix is by Felix Da Housecat. Love his producing skills, but his dj skills are a bit dissapointing (saw him at GrooveCity a good month ago).

Uffie – Pop The Glock (Felix Da Housecat’s Pink Enemy Remix)
Another christmas gift came from Erol Alkan. It’s an unreleased Disco 3000 edit of In Flagranti’s ‘Brash & Vulgar’. Mustapha 3000 is one of Erol Alkan’s aliasses, so I think Disco 3000 is aswell? Down tempo electro track with even a sample of Justice’s Let There Be Light in the second part of it.

In Flagranti – Brash Vulgar (Disco 3000 Edit)
Then a “special” track, something I’m curious about on how many of you guys are going to like this one. The original is from Mr Turkenburg, a music teacher. He made the track “In My Spaceship” along with his students. Stephen and David from Soulwax said on the radio that it’s going to be a big hit on Studio Brussels. I don’t know if they were just joking around or not, but In my case I hope it becomes one!

I recently posted a track “Rubix – Baiser Sur La Disco”. A true revival of disco, somewhat like “I Think I Like It” from Fake Blood. Baiser Sur La Disco is definitely one of my favourite tracks from 2009. He asked me if I could fix him up with some Belgian gigs. I had to dissapoint him and tell him that my influences aren’t that big, but all I can say to the organizers is: Check his productions, check his myspace, check this remix!

Merry X-mas from the GetHypedOnThis team! Hope you’re all enjoying some quality family time, some delicious food and of course, no christmas without lots of presents! I also found some christmas presents in our inbox. We start of slow with a relaxed hip-hop dub track from No Fixed Aabode & Son Of Kick. Then a present from Felix Cartal himself, an edit he did for Xzibit – X(-mas?). And we end with a real banger from Trumpdisco, who for this occasion remixed Jingle Bells (apart from the intro you wouldn’t say …), Classic!
