20.DJ Shah feat Aruna - Now or Never

Roger Shah has been super on form this year, this is just one of so many awesome tracks he has made or remixed this year. The beautiful haunting introductory track to his epic debut album, Songbook.

19. Ronski Speed feat Aruna - All the Way

Can't go wrong with a Ronski Speed tune, the first single for their long awaited debut album (which is fookin awesome btw).

18. Andy Duguid - Wasted

Another phenomenal track by the very talented Andy Duguid. Tiesto specifically requested him to create a track for his renowned ISOS series, which is unprecedented. This gem is the result.

17. Mr Pit - Shana (Duderstadt Progressive Dub mix)

A silent killer at the dance floor, Duderstadt has been awesome remixers this year! The best of their fantastic remixes this year

16. Thrillseekers - City of Angels

After the highs of "By your side" and "Waiting Here For You" and the somewhat disappointing follow up "The Last Time", The Thrillseekers is back to his high standards! Awesome energy in this track!

15. C-System - Close My Eyes (Lemon & Eimar Remix)

Best listened to while eyes are closed.

14. Jay D feat Mat Zo - Tell Me (Myon at Albion Remix)

Best not kept a secret.

13. Bobina - Spinning (Paul Miller Remix)

Paul Miller is the new king of epics, this is one of his best remixes of many epics remixes this year.

12. Dokmai - Reason to Believe

This was the unknown vocal track that was making a big impact in Tiesto's performances (including Freedom Festival) everyone was dying to find out what track it was. Satiated when it was released on ISOS 7 finally. Kinda old school but in a good way.

11. Jochen Miller - Lost Connection

This is quite the anthem of 2008, with a billion mashups made to its credit.

10. Gianluca Motta feat Molly - Not Alone (Deadmau5 Remix)

Probably the least trancy of my top picks, but the bouncy vibe and the lyrics combine to form a very emotional and beautiful track.

9. Cerf, Mitiska and Jaren - You Never Said (Dash Berlin Remix)

Love Cerf & Mitiska productions and Jaren's vocals/songwriting talents. With a dash of one-trick-pony Dash Berlin treatment which gives more impact to the track. Another emotional vocal track.

8. Heatbeat - Paradise Garage

Beautiful haunting piano melody never goes wrong. Heatbeat are a force to be reckoned with!

7. The Doppler Effect - Beauty Hides in the Deep (The Blizzard Remix)

The original of this track was already epic as of last year, and who would have thought that a remix this year could actually top those? Well The Blizzard on Fire of course! Epic Epic tune.

6. Cressida - 6am (Kyau and Albert remix)

The elements which make up a track sometimes gel very well together, this is a primary example which rocks the dance floor

5. Tatana - Spring Breeze (Martin Roth Summerstyle Remix)

The kick at the starting part of the track - utter aural pleasure.

4. Andrew Bennett vs Tatana ft Tiff Lacey - Closer than a heartbeat (Gareth Emery remix)

Gareth Emery has so many awesome remixes this year, this is the best of the lot, a remix of a classic vocal track, in his chopped up vocal style, made to perfection for the dance floor.

3. Gareth Emery - This is That

Gaz is a production wizard, has a penchant for creating unique non generic tracks which rock the dance floor!

2. Orjan Nielsen - La Guitarra

Relative newcomer to the scene with his storming track! Beautiful guitar strings, lovely ambient feel, Ohmna bootleg remix with its Schulzy progressive sound is the personal favourite. This is the original mix, not too shabby in itself.

1. Armin van Buuren - In and Out of Love

Pretty mediocre dance vocal track from Armin's album Imagine, turned into a monster killer of a tune by remixers Blizzard and Richard Durand. I would have included both remixes as no. 2 and no.1 spot! In the end i used the Blizzard remix to acknowledge for the fact that Blizzard has truly owned this year with their remixes.


Overall, I would have to say that 2007 had more obvious "hits" and "anthems" than 2008...
