In the new Mixmag we look back at 2009 with the year's biggest DJ; David Guetta. We find out how he went from underground Parisian spinner to chart-eating electro-hop club monster. We also reveal our top tunes, clubs and DJs of the year.

Free with this month’s issue is Diplo's '2009 Rewind' CD looking back at all the biggest tracks of the year including those by Major Lazer, La Roux vs Skream, Boys Noize, The Prodigy, Chase & Status, Fake Blood, Erol Alkan, Laidback Luke, Felix Da Housecat and many more.

What else is in the January issue of Mixmag? We give away a holiday to Snowbombing, we offer you tickets to the biggest 28 NY parties in the UK, we unmask YouTube's greatest saviours, we reveal the ugly face of miming DJs, we show you how your new year's resolution can be becoming a producer, we discover the history of the buildings that are now your favourite stomping grounds and we look back at the year's best album artwork.

If it’s clubs you crave we review Bath's Metripolis, London's Public House and Belfast's Shine, we tell you the five best nights happening this month and give you upto the minute clubbing news on all the latest nights, venues and launches, not to mention the UKs biggest club listings.

In live music we tell you what happened when Chase and Status powered up Batersea, how Zero 7 brought the numbers to Edinburgh and how Metronomy warmed up Iceland's Airwaves festival.

In our features section we give you the rundown of the year with all our charts, naming the top 100 tunes of 2009, the top 50 albums, our clubs of the year, our top 10 DJs, and more charts, graphs and stats than you can shake a glowstick at. We speak to the biggest artists of the year including Major Lazer, La Roux, Skream, Friendly Fires, Aeroplane, Armand Van Helden, Roska, Fake Blood and Showtek. We also investigate how drum 'n' bass thrived, how dubstep developed in '09. We also look back at 18 years of Basics and we round up a decade of dance by kissing goodbye to the naughties.

If it’s new music you're after we introduce you to Neal Thomas, Kid Sister, Erik Hassle, Pyramid, Christabelle, Jay Shepheard, Etienne Jaumet and Scorcher. Dizzee Rascal tells us about his fishing expeditions while on our back page DJ Zinc tells us why he's obsessed with crack house.
