TheMonarch’s Top 10+10 Remixes of 2009
Well this list was hard. Last year I did a top 20, this year it’s a top 10 + 10. The top 10 will not be ranked, however there will be two tiers, my top 10 and my +10.

TheMonarch’s Top 10 Dubstep Remixes of 2009
(Cody Lekush, Zeds Dead and I are somewhere in front of the stage in this one) Dubstep has had a defining impact on my year in music. As basslines became the focus, and feeling your chest rumble became an expectation, Dubstep moved out of dark cramped rooms and onto the main stages of Toronto.
