Now it’s time for, probably, my favourite list. The meeting of two talents, when it works, is an amazing thing.
This was also, probably, the easiest of the lists to compile. Most of our favourite tunes this year have been reMixes. Our top slot was always a no-brainier, that track has a breakdown and build that still gives me goosebumps after the 300th listen.
It’s our favourite song of the year, the award goes to…
