Now what would a music blog be without someone summarizing their favourite tracks from the previous year. I'll be the first to admit that it begins to get a bit redundant, and you never know which lists are actually worth checking out. While some lists are true to popular belief, there is always the pessimist who refuses to acknowledge that the best songs usually mean they have become 'pop'ular at one time or another. These are the people who always put together some huge list of tracks that you have never even heard of before. Well, I may be a bit of a hypocrite. There could be a few songs on my list that you may have never heard of before but they are all simply amazing.
Let me start by saying that my list is highly influenced by the two completely opposite residences that I had the privilege of playing through out 2009; one night was inspired by electro, while the other top 40. So basically, my list is just a collective of random songs that I loved playing the most. There's no analytical analysis, or systematic structure to my collection. People take these "wrap up's" way to seriously.
Here it is. 20 songs in no particular order that I enjoyed playing over the past year. * (Tried to keep the remixes to a minimum)

The Team
DJ Trekk: (Right)
After spending one full year in the business, and holding down two residency's in the process, Trekk has built quiet the respectable image for himself. Within his first year Trekk has shared the stage with a variety of artists such as MSTRKRFT, Steve Aoki, DJ Champion, Talib Kweli, Team Canada, J.O.T.S and lots of others. His original productions have been featured on numerous websites and blogs, and his will to succeed is inevitable.

DJ Coki: (Left)
In order to make this night perfect, Element has sought out talent from the mainland, and brought over DJ Coki to full fill the night. As a highly respected DJ in the Vancouver scene, Coki was the missing piece to the "Lights Out" puzzle. She recently earned a spot in the finals of the "Mega Blend" competition at Republic Nightclub, beating out many well known DJ's who have been in the scene for years.
Lookout Victoria, Coki is ready to make some heads roll.
Ruairi Lazers:
Undoubtedly one of the most respected people in the Victoria music scene. Ruairi has more knowledge around lights, visuals, sound, and just plain old life than all of your friends put together. Ruairi has come up with some amazing feng shui for the night, just don't hold him responsible if you go into a comatose.
Did I mention he is also in the running with Travis Barker for the best drummer alive ?
Xavier Walker: (Photos)
Many of you may already know him as one half of the electro duo W.A.X, but what you may not know, Xavier is one of the best photographers in the city. Having captured some of the biggest shows in Victoria, we are delighted to have him on board.
