#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!

"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!

#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.

#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.
