rickyleepotts’ Top 25 EDM Tracks of 2012

2012 was a great year for electronic dance music. We saw exponential growth in the EDM scene, and I am excited to see what is next. Now that the year is wrapping up, I wanted to take a look at my top 25 dance tracks from 2012. Some of these names might surprise you, and that is proof that the growth is happening right in front of our eyes. Yes, I included “Levels”… I had to. That track was too big to discard. But I also threw in some singles you might not be familiar with as well as some new releases.

As this genre continues to grow, pay attention to the names on this list. Also pay attention to the DJ Mag Top 100 list. It is nice to see Armin van Buuren back on top. We had a successful year here at Relentless Beats, and you can look for some of these names back in the Valley in 2013.

If you have Spotify, I have created a playlist of these tracks and you can listen to it above. The full list is below. There were a lot of great tracks this year, and if there are some tracks that you liked that I didn’t list, mention them in the comment section below. Let’s dance, people!
