I agree with the selection of most of these lists but there's no mention of 'Like a Bird - Von D & Riskothque'?

That would easily be my #1

Edit: Kromestar - Mental Universe (even though it's being released next year, still massive)

There's so many I'm probably forgetting. It's ridiculous.

This is in no way my finalized favorites, as there has been just too many quality releases this year. But heres a list of tunes that I have seriously been feeling.

Mensah - Digital Dreamer, NSG, 1986 was the Future, seriously every single release, his DJ ability really is what takes the cake for me too though, mans GetDarker sets are what really pushed me over the edge into buying Serato

Truth - every track released has been absolutely standout, their album was my favorite of the year

Guido - Korg Back, takes me to another place, one for the ages, but his entire album easily makes this list as well

DJG - EVERYTHING, man hasn't put out a faulty track, he has the Midas touch

Girl Unit - whole Wut EP

Ramadanman - Glut, the drums ooooohhh goshhhh

DJ Madd, Von D, Matt U - EVERYTHING no but really I love every single track all 3 of these produces has put out

Goth-Trad - Sunbeam, his techy drums get me every time

Silkie - City Limits 1.2-4 4 standout track that should be copped by everyone\

Doshy - Scatter EP to quote a youtube commenter (how do bloops and blips sound so emotional....) I couldn't agree more

L-Wiz - Dexter Morgan

Egyptrixx - Hexagon Ya, Godzillla


Since there are way too many to list, I am just going to go ahead and say pretty much every single track Youngsta has showcased in his sets. All the ViVEk, Kryptic Minds, Seven, TMSV, Distance, Icicle, SP:MC, Lx:ONe, Ben Verse dubs.

Quest - Wind Tunnel

The entire Future Bass compilation gets my vote as well.

Om Unit - damn near everything

Matty G - I've been watching you

Breakage - entire Foundation album

Superisk - Find your way

James Blake - CMYK

Hyetal - standard bag on site, Pheonix is tooooo much

Pinch - Swich/Boxer(Darquan refix included)

Lost/Hatcha - most collabs, and Emalkay - Crusader smashed it on that tip as well

Submotion Orchestra - Finest Hour (Planas remix)

Kito - LFO, On the Floor

Jack Sparrow - Red Sand

Rob Sparx - Arcade

Skream - Rollin Kicks

Calibre - Tenopause/Discreet Dub

L.D. - Blizzard, Mastermind

J:Kenzo - Dreadnought (still can't believe I got this one for free)

I think I am going to have to make another post later because this is just a small snippet of what I have been feeling. By feeling, I mean all these tunes blow me EFFING MIND.

THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH ALL YOU DJS, PROMOTERS, PRODCUDERS, ect. It is all-around impossible to put into words the positive effect dubstep,and all forms of bass music has had on my emotional state. Just knowing that I could name at least 200 (if not more) song names, that bring me an equal amount of joy as the ones that I have already posted, brings an immense amount of joy to my heart.To say that dubstep and bass-music as a whole, has had a positive effect on my emotional state would be an understatement. On the whole, I am a happier, better person because of the incredible time and effort so many of you prolific bass lovers put into creating these amaizng new soundscapes, and pushing the music forward!
