Reverend And The Makers hit hard with “Bassline”: a brash, deadline-friendly rush that sounds built for sticky floors and open windows. The song lands like a fresh single you catch once and then keep chasing all day.

Icona Pop and I Love It (feat. Charli XCX) crash in like a glitter bomb with a chipped nail and a perfect grin. The hook hits fast, loud, and fearless, exactly the kind of anthem that sounds bigger every time it comes on.
Miami Horror and "I Look To You" feat. Kimbra arrive sounding fully formed, like a single that already belongs on every good playlist. The hook lands fast, and the Kimbra feature gives the whole thing extra spark without crowding the frame.
Kennedy turns Karate into the kind of sly, sticky pop cut that grabs attention on first listen. The song feels essential because it lands with enough confidence to sound already proven, even if you are hearing it cold.
The Royal Concept turn “D-D-Dance” into the kind of song that barges in and steals the room. Hooks pile up fast, and the chorus lands like a dare to stop standing still.
GROUPLOVE and "Tongue Tied - Gigamesh Remix" land like a neon jolt, exactly the kind of track that feels unavoidable the second it starts. The hook arrives fast, bright, and a little shameless, which is perfect when the week needs a tune-up.
The Knocks turn The Feeling into the kind of track that sounds like it already owns the room. Slick, bright, and instantly sticky, it lands like a new favorite before the chorus even settles in.
Martin Solveig turns The Night Out - Madeon Remix into the kind of club record that feels too sharp to ignore. The hook lands fast, the beat moves with purpose, and everything about it says play again.
Foster the People turns Don't Stop (Color on the Walls) into the kind of song that makes a deadline feel like a dance floor. Bright, catchy, and impossible to shake, it sounds ready to leap out of the speakers right now.
St. Lucia sounds like the kind of band that sneaks up and suddenly owns your afternoon, and Closer Than This is the proof. Big hooks, no wasted motion, and enough sparkle to feel brand new the second it starts.
My favorite Dance songs from the past year.
