Voting has closed on Most Rated 2009 and the tracks have
now been chosen.
For the last few weeks, Defected let the public decide which
tracks from a carefully selected list should make it
onto their final major compilation of the year.
Thousands visited their website and rated the
tracks, arguing about the merits of one over
another. More than 50
tracks were shortlisted, from which the top 20 rated
have been chosen, which will be released 7th December.
The first track on the compilation was the latest
addition to the voting. Dennis Ferrer’s ‘Hey Hey’
was a last-minute signing on Defected this year, and
it’s got the potential to be one of the
biggest records of 2010. Clocking up an incredible
50,000 views on YouTube in only 10 days, this has
been widely praised by everyone from Pete Tong,
Erick Morillo , Silicone Soul, Dixon and Dimitri
from Paris.
Also worth a special mention are Reboot’s ‘Enjoy
Music’ and Copyright’s mix of Michel Cleis’ ‘La
Mezcla’; both massive tunes in Ibiza this season and
championed by DJs and clubbers around the world. The
original mix of La Mezcla won DJ Mag’s ‘Ibiza Tune
of the Year’ and was made Tong’s Essential New Tune
after he span it in seven weeks in a row!
But it’s not all about Defected's own tracks though.
That’s why you’ll find artists such as Faithless,
Underworld, D.Ramirez, Mark Knight, Joris Voorn,
Axwell, Steve Angello, Laidback Luke and Mendo
rubbing shoulder with Frankie Knuckles & The
Shapeshifters, ATFC, Erick Morillo, Copyright and
John Dahlback in arguably the largest collection of
talent on one release.
Most Rated 2009 is out December 7th
