These are the tracks that defined 2018
It’s that time of the year again. Party season is ramping up, and at the same time we begin to round up the music that’s been sending you into full-blown rave overload over the last 12 months.
2018 has offered up a lot of dancefloor ammo too. Peggy Gou provided a crossover smash fit for a FIFA soundtrack, disco-infused bangers have appeared ten-fold and Amelie Lens has taken the world by storm.
The following rundown is perhaps the most hotly-debated list of them all and it’s time for us to bring forth the top 50 tracks of the year.
For this one, we asked our trusted Mixmag staff members and freelancers from all over the globe to tell us what tracks have had them fist pumping and grinning uncontrollably this year.
We hope you enjoy the music as much as we have. Here goes.
GENRE House, Deep House, Electronica / Downtempo, Indie Dance / Nu Disco, Breakbeat, Breaks, Leftfield Bass, Leftfield House & Techno, Melodic House & Techno, Minimal, Tech House, Techno, Drum & Bass, Hip-Hop / R&B
