With Subdivision’s one year anniversary quickly approaching, each member of the Subdivision family will be reflecting upon the music of 2009 before welcoming in 2010.

First up is Subdivision Philadelphia’s Rx 2009 picks:

5. Moth - Burial and Four Tet
C’mon, do you even need to hear the song before you know you’ll love it? The song is a tour de force collaboration, combining the subtle and haunting samples they’re both known for. “Moth” demonstrates incredible restraint then release from the duo in order to make one of the most distinct, progressive, timeless tracks I’ve heard in recent years. Bravo.

4. These Words - Martyn (featuring dBridge)
Another one of my favorite, innovative, “I don’t care what the hell genre this is, I just love it” tracks of this year. Dropped at the right time in a set and you can turn a wub wub chk-chk-BANG hour into romance in the club. Definitely need more tracks like this out there.

3. A New Error - Moderat
What an infectious, heady groove. If C3PO was peaking on ecstasy, he’d want to turn this tune UP!

2. Vibrationz – Javelin
When I first heard this song, I had it on repeat the whole month and just walked around my house in nothing but a bathrobe, socks and drank white Russians – that’s all I needed!

1. United Groove - L-Vis 1990
Need I say more? Unbelievably innovative groove, arrangement, soundscape, and most of all – IT KNOCKS!! Works everytime – I had to own this on wax the second I heard it. Fun fact that makes it all better: L-Vis LOVES Wawa!

Subdivision has always admired the talent championed by our friends over at Nightshifters. And in this admiration, we wanted to share the latest mix Nightshifters godfather, DJ DONNA SUMMER. The mix features nothing but talent cultivated by the Nighshifters label, and includes Subdivision’s very own, Rx, whose “Bumble” E.P. will be released by Nighshifters in January 2010. I have been listening to this mix, on repeat, all day and felt it only right to share my audible bliss with you all!! The mix is 100% Nightshifters tracks with a lot of exclusive new tracks as well as a few of our older favorites. Comes with the artwork for the CD in the .zip as well (see below!!)

In anticipation of MAD DIVISION this FRIDAY, we wanted to share some of the brilliance that is L-Vis 1990 and Bok Bok .

Our Halloween party went off without a hitch, well into the conveniently-timed daylight savings’d night. Stumble was in town (he just moved to Savannah over the Fall) and the Metropolis folks were bringin the house and disco heat in the basement. Oh and peep the new Subdivision shirts! Available soon..

Subdivision’s own Rx has been a very busy man. In the next few months the pharmacist of bass has a forthcoming split with Plastic Little’s Si Young on Brooklyn’s Code Of Arms Records, the manic Jusyanutz is scheduled for the next installment of Seclusiasis‘ Street Bass Anthems series, and his Jupiter One remix for Rykodisc will be featured on Flufftronix and Dirty South Joe‘s Luvstep mix for Mad Decent‘s podcast. Rx’s tracks have been championed by the likes of PLASTICIAN, STARKEY, DEV79, STENCHMAN, and JAYOU. Rx’s collaboration with Chae Hawk was featured on this summer’s stellar DUBSTEP LA mix by PLASTICIAN.

For all of these reasons, we at Subdivision decided to share some of Rx’s massive remixes of NINE INCH NAILS and BROKEN SPINDLES. Also be sure to check the forthcoming Rx post (and free trax) on SQUEEGIE SOUNDS, and in case you missed it, check out the Mischief Night release of Rx’s haunting remix of Banned Books’ “Anti-Anthem” on the BIG UP MAGAZINE blog.

Any way here are the remixes (at 320kbps):

OK so we were really psyched before about bringing JOKER his emcee NOMAD on November 20th but we just teamed up with Mad Decent for a really fucking ridiculous lineup!

Tickets are now on sale right here! Save $3 a head and the risk of not getting in, blah blah you know
