Closing out 2009

As you may have noticed, during the month of December I initiated a countdown of my Top 30 tracks/remixes of the year 2009, posting Numbers 11-30 (click HERE to check out positions 11-30).

For those who've been waiting for the final Top 10 to complete the list, the wait is over.

But there's more... I thought it would be interesting to ask well-known local DJs to submit their very own Top 10 lists to Duke of Swabia. The idea was well-received, and they were excited to share their personal favorites; whether those be the tracks that spiced up their sets and made their respective crowds go nuts, or the tracks that they kept to themselves and listened to at home.

Every DJ has very unique musical tastes that define and reflect who they are as an artist. Here was an opportunity to pick their brains and get to know a little more about the DJs we've danced for so many times in '09.

I would like to thank all the participating DJs for their time and support, and I wish them continued success in 2010. I'll take this opportunity to also thank all the readers and supporters of Duke of Swabia for the love and interest we've been getting since the fall of 2009; it's been so much fun and this new year is full of promise.

With all that out of the way, let's celebrate 2009 one last time, here are the TOP 10s (with more on the way, to be added shortly):
