TOP 10 : My List of the Top 30 EDM Tracks of 2014

First of all,

I hope I'm still not too late, of course, AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Well, 2014 is an amazing year for the EDM Scene. I shall summarize this year as the Big Room Progressive House Future Deep House Year as the tracks are changing and evolving endlessly.

Last year I did a list of My Top 15 EDM Tracks and you can check that list right over:

>HERE<

Please bear in mind this list is extremely difficult to make. If you are a EDM Lover, you will definitely find all EDM tracks addictive and fucking beautiful to listen to, so it is very hard to select just 30 tracks out of all the other amazing tracks that've released this year. So, if your favorite tracks are not in this list, please remember that this is list if solely based on my own personal opinions.

Well, just cut off the craps and head straight to the point shall we?

But before I start off my list, I will rank these tracks according to a few rules down below:

-No vocal edits (Sorry to Koala and Bodytalk)

-No remixes, edits and bootlegs

-Does not include tracks that are not yet released

And here are a few honorable mentions that did not make it into my glorious list:

From left to right in no particular order:

Lush & Simon - In My Hands (ft. Delaney Jane)

ZHU - Faded

Fedde Le Grand & Di-Rect - Where We Belong

Hardwell & Joey Dale - Arcadia (ft. Luciana)

Armin van Buuren & Andrew Rayel - EIFORYA

Well ladies and gentlemen, please rise for the ranking of the year.

30. Fedde Le Grand - Twisted

Right after Fedde's release of "Put Your Hands Up For Detroit" in 2006, his fame skyrocketed and has since been a solid DJ in the EDM scene, and this track is fucking bomb!

29. Above & Beyond - We're All We Need (ft. Zoë Johnston)

Hauntingly mesmerizing vocal with that beautiful beat, Above & Beyond always gets it done. #Sun&Moon

28. Urban Contact - Million Questions

MrSuicideSheep brought me here.

27. Mike Mago & Dragonette - Outlines

"I'm looking at your perfect outlines."

26. Galantis - Runaway

Their unique progressive style is what makes them so popular this year. Can't wait to see what can they bring to the scene next year. Do check out their another awesome track "You".

25. Sick Individuals - Wasting Moonlight

The clear example of a track that combines beautiful vocal and fantastic progressive drop.

24. Nicky Romero & Vicetone - Let Me Feel (ft. When We Are Wild)

I have to admit when I first listened to this track, I wasn't very fond of it but right after a few days of repeating it, it grows onto me and it is definitely very beautiful.

23. Gareth Emery -U (ft. Bo Bruce)

Released right at the beginning of this year, I was all hyped when this first came out. Gareth Emery brings the word "Beautiful Trance" to a whole new level.

22. Deadmau5 - Avaritia

Just groove to the fucking beat, Joel is in the fucking mau5 house!

21. Paris Blohm & Taylr Renee - Left Behinds

Taylr Renee's voice is always so fucking powerful and combines with that insane drop, this track is out of this world!

20. Cash Cash - Surrender

Cash Cash is fucking back!

19. R3hab & Deorro - Flashlight

I've said it multiple times and I will say it again, THIS TRACK IS FUCKING AWESOME! I lost count with how many times I've heard it this year during festivals and clubs. And when this track comes up, everyone will fucking go insane! Ahhh, I miss those feelings.

18. Tep No - Lana Del Dre

Can someone tell me what genre is this? Chill progressive step house? This track is so damn addictive.

17. Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike & Martin Garrix - Tremor

Probably the biggest big room track of the year, and when this drops in a big stage, I swear everyone jumps insanely! #BANGER

16. Showtek & Ookay - Bouncer

The best Showtek's track from the recent years. Big Room Bounce + Trap is always so damn good. If you dig this kind of stuff, do check out this track too: Marnik - Gladiators.

15. Sander van Doorn, Martin Garrix & DVBBS - Goldskies

Big producers = Big track.

14. KSHMR & DallasK - Burn

KSHMR is love, KSHMR is life, KSHMR is burning bright!

13. Tom Swoon, Paris & Simo - Wait

Tom Swoon always make the most generic progressive drop sounds so special and beautiful. This track is an absolute magic!

12. Michael Calfan - Prelude

I have nothing to say about this stunning track. All I can say is, Michael Calfan's unique style will make him huge one day.

11. Vicetone - United We Dance

Let's rise for the anthem of the year!

10. Julian Jordan - Angels x Demons

Julian Jordan 1 - 0 Martin Garrix

9. DubVision & Feenixpawl - Destination

"Like a flame in my firestation, you are my destination."

Axtone Records is on fire this year!

8. Alesso - Heroes

Alesso's debut album is coming soon next year, buckle up guys!

7. Avicii - The Days

Just when I thought this will be year without Avicii, he then releases this fucking track.

THIS. FUCKING. TRACK. That goosebumping drop near the end of the song and the voice of Robbie Williams, perfection. Do check out "The Nights" as well and I can't wait for his album to drop next year.

6. Deorro - Five Hours

Probably the most unique track of the year, Deorro always has that magical power to make his listeners bounce non-stop to his tracks. Do listen to the vocal version of this track as well.

5. Seven Lions - Don't Leave (ft. Ellie Goulding)

It's a shame I missed out such a great DJ last year along with his amazing track "Strangers". This year he made another masterpiece and has Ellie Goulding as the vocalist. This is sensational.

4. Hardwell - Young Again (ft. Chris Jones)

This is why he is Number 1.

3. Steve Angello, Dimitri Vangelis & Wyman - Payback

Probably the most favored track by the crowds this year. Whenever you ask the question "What do you think is the best track of this year?" You will definitely get the same answers from everyone, "Steve Angello - Payback". This bomb right here is pure progressive house gold.

Okay, the last two tracks are one of the hardest decisions that I've have to make this year.

These two tracks are equally amazing, beautiful and will definitely stay in my heart for a very long time in my life. My body is ready, are you? Let's reveal the final two.

2. Deniz Koyu - To The Sun

This progressive masterpiece deserves way more attention. Axtone Records is just releasing amazing track right after amazing track this year. 

And THE TRACK OF THE YEAR goes to...

2015 will be a good year.

TOP 10 : My List of the Top 10 Songs of 2014

Okay my fellow loyal readers,

another year, another list of the great songs that we've all heard during these 365 days.

All I can say is that, although I'm not really into pop musics these days, but of course I will still listen to them if they are really good.

First of all, let's have some honorable mentions that didn't make it into my list.

From left to right in no particular order:

Sia - Chandelier

Young the Giant - Mind Over Matter

Tove Lo - Stay High

Sam Smith - I'm Not The Only One

Echosmith - Cool Kids

And before I start the countdown, here's some rules that I've applied into how I choose my 10 songs:

-I will include really mainstream EDM tracks into this list if necessary.

-Songs that came out during November or December 2013 and only became fucking popular this year are still eligible for the list.

-Don't worry, my Top ?? EDM Tracks of 2014 is coming soon.

10. Pharrell Williams - Happy

The one song that got the whole wide world dancing non-stop! Now this is how you start off a countdown, with HAPPINESS! :D

9. Coldplay & Avicii - A Sky Full Of Stars

A wonderful combination indeed. Coldplay is still so damn awesome after all these years, and with the magical touches by Avicii, this song became an instant hit.

8. Strange Talk - Young Hearts

We're young hearts, look at us go, all we really need is a stereo.

7. The Vamps & Demi Lovato - Somebody To You

Normally I don't dig boybands at all but I gotta give props to this song as it is really fucking addictive. YEAH YOU!

6. John Legend - All Of Me

Hands down the most romantic love song of 2014. No one can beat that soulful voice of John Legend.

5. Ariana Grande - Break Free (ft. Zedd)

I have no words to describe this song. Ariana Grande's great voice, that pretty and cute face, and that Zedd's signature drop at the end. THIS. IS. PERFECT.

4. Clean Bandit - Rather Be (ft. Jess Glynne)

The more I watch this music video, the more I wanna travel to Japan and visit those beautiful places. Those "Lost In Translation" feels are all coming back to me.

3. Duke Dumont - I Got U (ft. Jax Jones)

Definitely the best deep house track of the year, hands down no questions.

And this music video! This goddamn music video! 

Don't you just wanna travel around the world?

2. Ed Sheeran - Thinking Out Loud

Ed Sheeran is definitely becoming bigger and bigger. This talented ginger I likey.

And this song is so damn lovelyyyyyyyyy.

TOP 10 : My List of the Top 10 Worst Songs of 2014

Finally, the lists that all of you readers are waiting for (Well, if I still have any loyal readers).
These lists are definitely an annual thing for me to do during the end of every year.
And these lists are what keep me and this blog alive throughout all these years.
For the list of the worst songs of 2012, kindly click HERE to give you a flashback.

Firstly, how do I define a bad song?
Well, for me, a bad song is when it is annoying as fuck, repetitive, meaningless, bullshit lyrics that are all about money, bitches, boozes. The 10 songs below are to me the worst songs of this year.

So, let's get right to the list shall we?

p/s: This list if solely based on my own personal opinion, if you are mad at me for putting your favourite song here, well fuck you then.

10. One Republic - Love Runs Out

To be honest, this is the first One Republic's song that I've ever hate in my life.
To me this song is a rip-off of Kanye West's Love Lockdown.

9. Maroon 5 - Maps

One of the worst if not the worst Maroon 5's song ever.

I felt like all Adam Levine did here was to force a good song out of a mediocre song and trying to be all emotional about it.

8. Taylor Swift - Shake It Off

Taylor Swift, why? I might sound like a nostalgicfag here, but I want the old you back!

7. Meghan Trainor - All About That Bass

Until this very day I still wonder what's so good about this song?

This bitch sings like she is going to die tomorrow or something.
Come on...

6. Chris Brown, Lil' Wayne & Tyga - Loyal

YOUNG MOOLAH SHITTY!

5. Katy Perry - This Is How We Do

This song is so fucking annoying.
THIS. IS. HOW. I. FEEL. ABOUT. THIS. SONG.

4. Play N Skillz - Literally I Can't

This song is easily one of the shittiest motherfucking song this year.

But I won't give it the No.1 spot all because I felt like they are taking it as a joke, like a mockery to #Selfie and EDM with that godawful drop.

3. Nicki Minaj - Anaconda

No comment.

2. Avril Lavigne - Hello Kitty

To those who think this song is addictive, nice and cute?
PLEASE GO GET YOUR EARDRUM CHECK!
I mean, what the fuck were you thinking Avril Lavigne?

And drum rolls to the WORST FUCKING SONG of 2014

.

.

.

.

.

.

1. Jennifer Lopez & Iggy Azalea - Booty

Well, I wonder what kind of crack were they smoking when they came up with this fucked-up song.

Imagine JLo and Iggy sitting in a room filled with drugs be like:

"Hey Iggy, let's write a song about our big booty kay?"

"Oh my JLo, you are so fucking smart."

And I am sitting in front of the screen doing an around-the-world facepalm to myself.

So, this concludes my list of the top 10 worst songs of this year.

Stay tuned for other lists in the following weeks before the end of this year.

SEE YOU GUYS SOON!

" Big, big booty what you got a big booty. "

-Jennifer Lopez & Iggy Azalea
