1 — Avicii, Sandro Cavezza – Without You
This was my absolute favorite track on Tim’s EP, & just immediately thought everything about this track was so well written & composed. The way Avicii combined basslines & melodies was so unique, this track really stands the test of time.
2 — David Guetta, Martin Garrix, Brooks – Like I Do
The production in this song is so well done, and the sound design just really makes the energy in this particular piece one of my all-time favorites.
3 — Avicii, Nicky Romero – I Could Be The One
Back in high school, I remember listening to this and thinking how much I liked the sonic aspects of this track. In 2012 this one stood out to me, and to this day I still love it.
4 — Martin Garrix, Bonn – No Sleep
I remember when I first heard this song I was blown away by the lyrics and the production. This track is so versatile and can be played on MainStage, in the car, or at a nightclub and still have the same great effect.
5 — Tiesto & Diplo – C’mon
From Tiesto’s Club Life album, this track just brings back so many great memories. I still think it’s a great track to this day.
6 — Matisse & Sadko – Into You
Back in 2017 I heard this song for the first time and it was the first time I started listening to Matisse & Sadko. They are so talented and this track really just hits you in the feels.
7 — Oliver Heldens – Ghost
The bassline on this song is so catchy, I have always loved anything that has a groovy rhythm like this track, that’s why it’s at #8.
8 — Gorgon City – Saving My Life
From the beginning of this track the piano chords just really draw you into this track. Back in 2015, I thought it was a great composition, and still do.
9 — Telykast – Unbreakable
Sam Gray just nailed these vocals, and accompanied by equally great production makes this just such a catchy, emotional track. I highly recommend listening to it if you haven’t.
10 — Toby Romeo, Felix Jaehn, Faulhaber – Where The Lights Are Low
Last but not least is this masterpiece. When this came out I had it on repeat and the production on this particular track is just so natural and smooth. Such a great song.
