I kind of have a dj crush on Dj Hyphen after listening to his best of 2009 mix right here… Did I just say that? Anyway, be sure to download & check this mix, throw it on your iPod, whatever. Be sure to check our Sound Session every Sunday evening on Seattle’s Kube93 from 10:45pm – 12:15am Pacific.
A note from Dj Hyphen:
Well, another year has come and gone and that can mean only one thing: you’re being constantly bombarded with “Best of 2009″ lists everywhere you look. This year, you’re probably also getting hit with “Best of the Decade” lists, which I personally find far more interesting to debate than the standard year-end recaps. While we didn’t put together any best of the 2000’s (off the top…my favorite albums were “College Dropout,” “Graduation,” “The Blueprint,” “A Piece Of Strange,” “The Listening,” and “Connected,” among MANY others), J. Moore and I did compile our favorite Sound Session records from the past year for you.
Keep in mind, these are not the biggest records of the year…nor the blogosphere favorites…or Twitter picks. Nah, these are 26 of our favorite songs that we played heavily on SNSS in 2009. They are not in any sort of countdown or follow any other ranking schema. We included a few of our favorite records from the town and crossed into other genres as well. In other words, we followed our normal formula for spinning great music on the radio, but we just supersized it on some Barry Bonds-Roger Clemons-Alex Rodriguez super powered steroid type steez.
