Monday Music Update: MMU Top 100 Countdown 2009 (20-39)

12.04.09

#20 Dada Life

"Happy Hands And Happy Feet"

Amazing and original sounding house music has not been a common occurrence this year. Dada Life must have cashed in some bonds or RRSP's or some shit cause in the middle of a recession they are giving away this mind vibrator FOR FREE over at RCRD_LBL. They'll be working well into their nineties to recoup this loss. Poor bastards.

#21 One Eskimo

"Kandi"

It's Candi "You Got The Love" Staton. Cicada give us a powerful big room house pleaser which I cannot endorse enough. It's fantastic!

#22 Ou Est Le Swimming Pool

"Dance The Way I Feel"

Another post apocalyptic indie-dance-punk-pop group. Armand Van Helden gets props for turning in an excellent grinding house remix!

#25 Bloc Party

"Signs (Armand Van Helden Remix)"

What kind of countdown would it be without the Bloc? Armand Van H again churns out a stunner. It has even got its own video?

#26 Analog People In A Digital World

"Rose Rouge"

And although they never won a war or mass produced a decent car, Italy has managed to give us APIDW (Italian duo Matteo Esse and Sant). Viva Italia!

#27 Passion Pit

"Little Secrets"

Passion Pit blah blah blah. The Jack Beats remix is some really nice electro house business!

#28 Filthy Dukes

"This Rhythm"

The Filthy D's are stylish, handsome, rugged, and above all else, talented. No homo.

#29 Noah And The Whale

"Blue Skies"

Certain Arcade Fire-ishness with these guys. Originally I listened to the Yacht remix but didn't really care for it. So I Dismissed Noah and his whale altogether. As it turns out, Noah is great. Yacht tricked me! OK. Lesson learned. Dicks.

#30 La Roux

"I'm Not Your Toy"

La Roux. My what an original choice. It was this or "Colourless Colour". This had a video. Remember to get the Jack Beats remix if you like wobbly bass all up in yo face.

#33 Mad8 vs Shawn Christopher

"Just Another Sleepless Night (Dino Lenny Remix)"

out of office have a nice remix as well, but Dino Lenny`s is just afterhours dreamy.

"Hold On"

Remix Remix Remix!

#35 Keri Hilson ft. Kanye West & Ne-Yo

"Knock You Down (ChuFu GhettoClub Fix)"

Kanye weaseled his way into the countdown. Chufu remix is a nice ipod friendly hip-house thing.

#36 David Guetta & Akon

"Sexy Bitch"

"Sexy Bitch" is prolly the club anthem of 2009. Not too surprising as Guetta is the man who brought us the uber anthem, "Just A Little More Love". If you are tired of the original, I suggest you move over to the Abel Ramos remix which jacks a big room techno vibe.
