Detailed Tracklist

Spa Tick - Top 20 of 2009 Part 1 (26-12-2009)

[No.20]1. Menno De Jong & Leon Bolier - Last Light Tonight

Very melancholic old school dutch trance feel!
[No.19]2. Paul Webster feat. Angelic Amanda - Time (Sean Tyas Remix)

Catchy and driving all at the same time, the dub mix is well suited for the dance floor!
[No.18]3. Lange & Andy Moor - Stadium Four

Powerful and Energetic track, nothing less to be expected from Lange and Andy Moor, is also the superior less cheesy alternative to “Faces” by Moor and Wallbridge
[No.17]4. Gareth Emery - Metropolis and Ocean Lab - On a Good Day

Anything post Satellite by Ocean Lab has not been as good as before (but still awesome), Metropolis is another work of genius by Gareth Emery, both tracks work well mashed together

[No.16]5. Dakota - Johnny the Fox (Barnes & Heatcliff Remix) and Airplay 47 - Be Free (Mat Zo Remix)

Barnes & Heatcliff have been the breakthrough revelation this year, this remix of Dakota is probably their top remix of many awesome productions/remixes this year.

Mat Zo deserves a shoutout too for this remix of Airplay 47.
[No.15]6. BT feat. Jes - Every Other Way (Armin van Buuren Remix)

Armin delivers a surprisingly solid remix on a great vocal track, works very well!
[No.14]7. Richard Durand - Into Something (Fall Down Mix)

A beautiful track by Richard Durand!
[No.13]8. Heatbeat – Vergatron

One of many “in your face” tracks by Heatbeat, its actually quite driving and unfortunately quite understated this year.
[No.12]9. Cosmic Gate - Sign Of The Times (Markus Schulz Remix)

Very unique and creative bouncy track (until it got copied to death), very good for the dance floor.
[No.11]10.Umnet Ozcan - Time Wave Zero
This is a track which is best served at the peak of a set!

Spa Tick - Top 20 of 2009 Part 2 (26-12-2009)

[No.10]1. Roger Shah & Tenishia Feat Lorilee - You're So Cool (Tenishia Mid Winder Remix)

A beautiful, ethereal vocal track by Roger Shah and Tenishia (Tenishia’s awesome!)
[No.09]2. Roger Shah & Signum - Healesville Sanctuary (Signum Mix)

Another beautiful track by Roger Shah, reminds me of the classic Gouryella – Tenshi!

[No.08]3. Matt Darey feat Urban Astronauts - See the Sun (Aurosonic Remix)

Matt Darey is awesome producing vocal trance, here he is back after almost a decade showing what he does best with Kristy Thirsk, the best vocalist from Delerium!

[No.07]4. Airbase feat Floria Ambra – Interfere

Cheesy lyrics mar an otherwise perfect trance track, but the vocals are still needed as the dub lacks some oomph.
[No.06]5. Super 8 and DJ Tab – Irufushi

This duo produce quality after quality, Irufushi is up there with Helsinki Scorchin’ and Elektra!
[No.05]6. Robert Burian feat. Zdenka Predna – You

I have never heard of Burian before this, but this simplistic Deadmau-ish track works very well!
[No.04]7. Ocean Lab feat Justine Suissa - Lonely Girl (Gareth Emery Remix)

An average track from Ocean Lab’s album turned into a monster club hit by the genius Gareth Emery
[No.03]8. Phynn – Spacewalk

Probably the most understated best track in 2009.

[No.02]9. tyDi feat. Audrey Gallagher - You Walk Away

The top track of Trance Energy 2009, the real breakout track of tyDi

Track of the Year 2009
[No.01]10.Rex Mundi Featuring Susana - Nothing at All

1st impressions count, and when I 1st heard this on Schulz’s Toronto’09, i was quite simply blown away. Awesomest and well deserving of No.1 this year.
