Ru-Mix: Untouchable
Download: http://www.mediafire.com/?4fnnedlmoz2
01. Elevator - Pussycat Dolls - written by Lady Gaga, this is a sweet song by the usually raunchy PCD
02. Apple and Cinnamon - Utada - Utada brings her quirky lyrics to another level
03. Dead and Gone - Justin Timberlake & T.I. - It's been around for a while but still quite good.
04. Water and a Flame - Daniel Merriweather feat. Adele - A beautiful collaboration
05. Epilepsy is Dancing - Antony & The Johnsons - Unique voice, unique lyrics... especially the "cut me in quadrants" bit.
06. Heart Never Had A Hero - Toni Braxton - Oh Toni... amazing song, I wish the video had a superhero theme
07. Tidal Wave - The Killers - A bonus track that is better than anything else on the album
08. Everblue - Mandy Moore - Mandy is back, folksy as ever
09. Must Be Love (Feat. Diddy) - Cassie - As trite as Cassie is this song still is sure to be a hit
10. Ego (Remix feat. Kanye West) - Beyonce - Beyonce, what exactly are you talking about? ;)
11. Click (Ruff Mix) - Little Boots - We've all felt like this before, havent we?
12. Lay Me Down (with Kleerup) - Cyndi Lauper - Kleerup lends his magical touch for an amazing collaboration with Cyndi
13. Miss it So Much (with Lykke Li) - Royksopp - Lykke Li + Royksopp = Perfection!
14. Never Go Home Again - RuPaul - I'm amazed I like a RuPaul song but this has a great message and the production is on the same level as Robyn's "With Every Heartbeat"
15. God Given Name (Soulshock & Kerlin Mix) - Solange - My personal favorite, great message, go get'em Solange.
16. Untouchable - Girls Aloud - "Without any meaning, we're just skin and bone, like beautiful robots, dancing alone." Definitely one of my favorite lyrics of 2009.
Ru-Mix: I'm Not Alone
This is another house mix but it has a different type of energy than "In For the Kill," it's a little more... melancholy? At least at first, it is. There's definitely a story here if you listen in order, and it also features my favorite new artist, Fred Falke and his amazing remixes.

01. Love Don't Dance Here Anymore - Tiga - This song is just epic, the piano introducion is brilliant but when the beats come in you can just picture yourself pouring your heart out on the dancefloor
02. Heavy Cross (Fred Falke Mix) - The Gossip - The original single is just ok, but Fred Falke brings this to another level
03. Wrong (Rauhofer Mix) - Depeche Mode - Peter Rauhofer turns it out. WORK.
04. Black and Gold (Steve Pitron and Max Sanna Mix) - Sam Sparro - An oldie but the best remix I've heard of this song about searching for spirituality
05. Hearbreaker - MSTRKRFT feat. John Legend - MSTRKRFT's remix of Greenlight was one of my favorites last year, it's good to see them collaborating again
06. Halo (New Devices Mix) - Beyonce - Halo didn't get as big as I thought it would (Leona should have held on to it!) but I would love to dance to this mix some day.
07. If This Isn't Love (Stonebridge Mix) - Jennifer Hudson - Just a very sweet song
08. Love Etc. (Gui Boratto Mix) - Pet Shop Boys - One of my favorite songs of this year, very inspiring.
09. Eh, Eh (Pet Shop Boys Mix) - Lady Gaga - PSB + Gaga, a match made in heaven
10. Anthonio (Fred Falke Mix) - Annie - A completely different mix from the Designer Drugs one, Fred Falke highlights Annie's desperation
11. Miles Away (Rauhofer Part 3 Mix) - Madonna - Rauhofer will always know how to WORK Madonna
12. Come Back to me (Quentin Harris Mix) - Utada - A cute complementary song to Miles Away
13. Zero (N.A.S.A. Bloody Lobo Mix) - Yeah Yeah Yeahs - This song is quickly getting very overplayed but this remix is refreshing
14. New In Town (Fred Falke Mix) - Little Boots - Fred Falke, 'nuff said.
15. Solid Gold - Golden Filter - "...Make it Solid Gold," and they did.
16. I'm Not Alone (Deadmau5 Mix) - Calvin Harris - I really hope this song gets big... it's too amazing to be ignored.
