Happy New Years!! I hope you had a fun weekend, I know I did! Saturday night I saw Fedde Le Grand at the Music Box in Hollywood, then Sunday I went to White Wonderland in Anaheim to see Thomas Gold, AN21 & Max Vangeli, and Steve Angello. Needless to say, today I’m in RECOVERY MODE!

Here are my overall top 10 tracks for 2011. It was so hard to narrow it down, 2011 was a great year for house music!

10. Calvin Harris feat. Rihanna – We Found Love

Over the past year, I heard this song on the radio possibly more than any other song in the history of the universe. That being said, it’s so catchy and it always goes off on the dance floor!



9. Adam K feat. Naan – Wake Up (Morgan Page Remix)

This is an amazing progressive house remix by Mr. Page (who should have a great 2012) – it even inspired me to make a mashup with Mr. Kuby.



8. Chris Brown feat. Benny Benassi – Beautiful People

Ok so maybe I first heard this song at the end of 2010, but it was officially released in 2011, and is really a great example of what we will see even more of in the near future – a fusion of hip-hop/r&b with electro house music (a la Benassi, Guetta, Calvin Harris).



7. Mord Fustang – The Electric Dream

Mord Fustang is my #1 new artist for 2011. If you haven’t heard of him, check out his funky rhythms and usually rich harmonies.



6. BT & Adam K – Tomahawk

I don’t know what genre this song is. I don’t think anybody does! Somewhere between progressive house, trance, and dubstep, this masterpiece is expertly blended together and always blows up the room.



5. Felguk – Jack It

Felguk is one of my favorite artists – two crazy Brazilians that combine epic electro with obvious musical talent – these guys are the real deal. “Jack It” is their track of the year.



4. Manufactured Superstars feat. Scarlett Quinn – Take Me Over (Bingo Players Remix)

You’ve probably heard this song but didn’t know who it was. Look out for both Manufactured Superstars (the owners of Beatport) and Bingo Players in the coming year.



3. Chris Lake – Sundown (Lazy Rich Remix)

Possibly one of the best original tracks of the year, Chris Lake’s Sundown is taken to a new level by Lazy Rich. Rich’s style is fierce electro – and this track is a perfect fit.



2. Avicii – Levels (Clockwork Remix)

No DJ’s top 10 2011 list would be complete without at least one Avicii track. The man has taken the world by storm, and my (second) favorite track of the year was actually Clockwork’s remix of Levels. Watch out for Clockwork in 2012.



1. Meduzah, Xplod3 & Sue Cho – I’m Free (Revolvr Remix)

Meduzwho? Right, you’ve probably never heard of any of these artists. But you will recognize Sue Cho’s voice, and be blown away by Revolvr’s remix – expect big things from this guy!
