We know what you’re thinking.. “Oh no, not another best of list!” You’ve got that right. We asked you what your favourite tracks of 2018 were and now we’ve asked our contributors to share with the world what their most rinsed records were. You’ll find that even here, in this tight-knit community, our tastes can differ greatly within the realm of electronic music and beyond. The bigger our team gets, the more diverse our sound is and you can only expect us to further branch out in 2019.
So without further ado, here is our best of list for 2018 in no particular order. No, numbers, no rankings, just music we enjoy, records we thought were slept on and of course some of the more popular choices as well. Hopefully you agree with some of our picks and in case you forgot to add any to your shelves this year, we’ve included links to buy as well.
