Clubs and dancefloors may have been closed for much of the past two years, but there has still been an abundance of incredible new dance and dance-adjacent tracks released in 2021. These are the very best cuts I have found so far this year, capable of stimulating listeners’ ears and brains as well as demanding we move our feet.
Whether you’re wanting to practice your moves before you return to the clubs or you’d simply rather bring the dancefloor to your own home tonight, this is the playlist for you.
The format is simple: tracks from the the past month feature at the beginning of the playlist before turning to highlights from the rest of the year (in no particular order). If you’d like to hear the genre’s most recent gems, check out the first five to ten tracks. If you want to explore the year as a whole, simply hit that shuffle button, sit back, and enjoy!
New additions will be included on a monthly basis (more or less). If there’s a track that you think is the pinnacle of dance music this year but isn’t featured here, please don’t hesitate to let me know about it at thebayingofkazak@gmail.com.
WARNING: All tracks are completely uncensored. A number of them contain explicit language that is unsuitable for children, NSFW topics and imagery, discussions of potentially triggering subjects, and/or political commentary that may offend.
