After a full year of electronic music, which I think was globally worst in term of quality and commercial tracks, than last year (you just need to listen to the radio), I made my selection of the 20 best tracks of the year 2010, mostly from Germany. As you will see in the playlist, all songs are from 2010, with 2 exceptions: the first track from dOP who has reached the upper class in 2010 and the track of Black Raw that I discovered by chance. The rest is a very good 2010 vintage wine.

 TRACKLISTING OF 2010 IS OVER – MIXED BY DJ AROY [Download the mix]

As we mentioned above, this summary mix of 2010 has a highly German tendency. It begins with the revelation of the Mobilee imprint: the French guys of dOP, with the magnificent voice of the track "Horny". This early tech-house and minimal set goes also with the new version of "Angola" from Cesaria Evora and remixed by the Spanish producer David Herrero.

Then there is a roster of German resident DJs. Indeed, there is the track of Butch "No worries" and its heady vocal loop, named best track of the year in Ibiza bythe DJ Award ranking. It is followed by the production of the rising producer Zeyss Marvin. The tech-house atmosphere continues with the well-known producers like M.A.N.D.Y. and Booka Shade for their comeback on "Donut".

Then we enter in a housy phase with the beautiful piano remix of Simon Baker and "Love Emulator", which marks the return of Lifelike. This housy phase is an open door for the Swedish music with the sounds of Eric Prydz, Steve Angello and the Swedish House Mafia with "One", a track that hits the clubs all year long. Then, Deadmau5 creates a massive track in collaboration with Wolfgang Gartner, the master of electro. Follows, one of the best tracks of the year and that is another comeback, the one of Demon, the French producer notably known for the song “You are my high”. He signed a smashing comeback with "I think".

The end is a complete eclectic mix with a remix of Dido from Armin van Buuren, before we concluded perfectly the best of of 2010 with the latest musical pearl of label Kompakt: the producer Kolsch....

2011 sounds to be a promising year and will be certainly dominated once again by the Germans, notably Marc Romboy and Stephan Bodzin who will be probably the leading figures of 2011, with their new upcoming album "Luna". ...
