This was originally intended to be for my uni radio show, but it was never finished in time. The show is an hour long, so to fit all of these songs into such a short space of time I had to edit the tracks down quite heavily, as you will hear.
Some of the tracks have been kicking about for a while now, but they're nearly all relevant to 2009 somehow - whether it's a new remix or edit of an old song, or it was released a while ago but only appeared on an album this year, and so on. One or two aren't relevant at all to 2009 and are just there because they're aces.
And finally, I set myself an arbitrary rule where an artist can only appear once, including as a remixer, so that meant some people who released a ton of stellar stuff in 2009 could only be included once.
