Popular Days

Yes! for all of them but my favourite is Mura Masa and Galantis & Love N Sling :wub:

Edited by Santa's Haz

Give Me Your Love was a really catchy Sigala track :music:

 

False Alarm, No Money and all the tracks from #25-#21 were really catchy and really good to listen to!

 

I did like Freak Like Me, but I don't really know what Katy B added to it :(

#20. Disciples - Daylight

 

 

Returning with a sound that clearly works for them, Daylight uses a catchy hook with funky production and a festival video (at one of which I was at!) to accompany it.

#19. Sigma - Stay

 

 

There's a lot of love for this song, and quite rightly so, but it falls foul to the post-album single effect and barely even got a look in with radio or the charts. However, this is a fantasticly fierce D&B track.

#18. Toyboy & Robin feat. Finnli - Can't Love Me

 

 

This is my holiday song of 2016! From what started life as a dub, this track was reworked with a vocal and it's exactly what house music should be like. :heart:

#17. Jerome Price - Me Minus You

 

 

Another song that has resonated with me since I went holiday earlier this year. It's just a catchy house tune that I've found myself returning to over and over again.

#16. Endor feat. FERAL is KINKY - Fever

 

 

This went from BJSC potential to absolute banger for me this year. There's just something about repetitive house music done properly that sits well with me. I'm hoping that Endor gets more exposure in the years to come.

#15. Seeb feat. Neev - Breathe

 

 

These guys may have had international success with their remix for Mike Posner this year, but it was their own single that caught my eye. Nothing more to say other than it's a good, upbeat, tropical house tune!

#14. Disciples & David Guetta - No Worries

 

 

An unexpected collaboration, but one that really works! Yes, it's house (again!), but this is pretty much one of the best house tracks of year.

#13. Imany - Don't Be So Shy (Filatov & Karas Remix)

 

 

International success, yes, but a messy, confusing and utterly ridiculous release strategy with multiple low-key pushes meant this song never really saw the light of day properly here in the UK. It had so much potential, but at least some of us on here really enjoy this! A fantastic track which highlights what is now Filatov & Karas' signature, albeit repetitive, sound.

#12. Riton feat. Kah-Lo - Rinse & Repeat

 

 

What's this? More repetitive house? Yeah, IT IS :heart: First heard this at the end of 2015 and fell in love straight away! It had a ridiculous held back release, but that didn't make the song tiresome or boring and is still a song I go back to regularly.

#11. TroyBoi - And Wot?

 

 

Fans of TroyBoi will know this is not his usual sound, but differing from the norm sometimes works and it certainly has here! It got some limited playlisting from Radio 1 and even Capital which is impressive, but it failed to ignite the hearts of many, except mine. Fun, bouncy and in your face house is the best way to describe this amazing track.

#10. The Chainsmokers feat. Daya - Don't Let Me Down

 

 

Fabulous production, fabulous drop, fabulous vocals! :heart:

#9. Skrillex & Rick Ross - Purple Lamborghini

 

 

My favourite song from my favourite film of 2016! Both Skrillex and Rick Ross absolutely kill this.

some great picks here, loving the house domination :dance:

 

Breathe / Don't Be So Shy / Sing Me To Sleep were all major faves for me this year :wub:

#8. Cash Cash & Digital Farm Animals feat. Nelly - Millionaire (DJ Fresh Remix)

 

 

The original is good, heck it spent over 20 weeks on my own playlist this year, but there's just something about the sudden stomp of this remix that's exciting as DJ Fresh turns it into a D&B/house crossover.

#7. Kideko & George Kwali feat. Nadia Rose & Sweetie Irie - Crank It (Woah!)

 

 

This is just amazing! Even the original instrumental is invigorating but with the added vocal of upcoming rapper Nadia Rose, this gets suck in my head for ages!

#6. Dusky - Ingrid Is A Hybrid

 

 

From my album of the year comes this uplifting, hands in the air anthem that I just adore.

#5. Kungs vs Cookin' On 3 Burners - This Girl

 

 

What a year it has been for this song! International success led to this receiving a UK push and it climbed it's way up our charts and some of our hearts. It's quirky, different and the drop is impressive.

#4. offaiah - Trouble

 

 

Sampling the ever so catchy Charlie Puth, offaiah put this online earlier this year and radio lapped it up! Probably also helps that it has a 'lose your shit' drop.

This Girl and Trouble both big defining tunes of my 2016 :music: Spent 12 and 5 weeks at #1 respectively for me, if only that was the case in real life haha

#3. Alan Walker - Faded

 

 

This is just incredible! The single that allowed Alan Walker to breakthrough and deservedly so. This was the starting point of a decent year for this man and established his sound firmly in the dance music scene.
