December is always an exciting time at EDMTunes. So far, we’ve looked at the top albums and remixes. Today, we’re sharing the best original tracks. Over the next week, we’ll run a few more polls with our writers and editors. As we wrap up another great year, many original tracks stood out. Before we dive into the list, know that our team reviewed a huge number of songs. Here are a few honorable mentions that didn’t make the cut: Guy J for ‘Worlds Apart’, Sidepiece’s ‘Cash Out’, Zeds Dead ‘One Of These Mornings’, ANNA and Vintage Culture for their track ‘Feel The Rhythm’. Now, let’s get into the list. The top 15 selections showcase incredible versatility, spanning diverse genres, moods, and production styles—proving just how dynamic and innovative this year’s music truly was. Kick starting our list, we’ve got ‘London’s On Fire’ from Chris Lorenzo and Max Styler. A collaboration that brings pure UK underground energy. Gritty basslines, sharp percussion, and a dark groove make this one a late-night weapon. It’s raw, edgy, and adds a completely different flavor to the list, proving why this year’s top tracks aren’t just about big-room anthems—they’re about attitude. At #14 is Griz with ‘Til The Color Fades’ a track that feels like pure emotion wrapped in funk and soul. It’s smooth, uplifting, and layered with GRiZ’s signature sax-driven vibe. This one stands out because it’s not just a dance track—it’s a journey, blending electronic grooves with organic warmth. At #13 is ‘Stratosphere’ by Subtronics – a track that takes bass music to another dimension. It’s heavy, cinematic, and layered with futuristic sound design that feels like you’re being launched into orbit. What makes it perfect for this list is how different it is from everything else—while most tracks lean into house or techno grooves, ‘Stratosphere’ brings raw dubstep energy with a polished, atmospheric edge. It’s bold, experimental, and a reminder of why Subtronics continues to push boundaries in bass music. At #12, Enrico Sangiuliano’s ‘The Techno Code’ an almost 9 minute track is a masterclass in precision and power. It’s at once a spoken “how-to” of techno and a celebration of the genre—dark yet melodic, with a groove that locks you in and doesn’t let go. A perfect example of why Enrico remains one of techno’s most respected names. Italian producer, GENESI enters our list with ‘Hyper’. A track that is pure adrenaline – fast, punch and built for peak time energy. Definitely a festival weapon that turns any dancefloor into chaos the moment it drops. Closing in on the top 10, ‘Voices in My Head’ with Anyma who is no stranger to our list, along with Argy and Son of Son. A pure melodic techno perfection. Dark, hypnotic, and emotional, it’s the kind of track that takes you deep into the moment. The haunting vocal paired with Anyma’s signature atmospheric layers and Argy’s driving groove makes this one unforgettable. A standout for Afterlife fans and a staple in sets all year. At #9 ‘Light years’ with Daddy Summit and Inéz. A festival favourite track this 2025. Euphoric, melodic and built for those moments that you are locked in with the crowd around you. Inéz vocals soar over John’s signature driving groove, creating a perfect balance of emotion and energy. This one has been everywhere in 2025 and for good reason. At #8, Mau P keeps the momentum going with ‘TESLA’ a track that screams peak-time energy. It’s dark, driving, and built for the dance floor. The bassline is relentless, paired with crisp percussion and that signature Mau P groove. This one feels futuristic—like a late-night ride with the windows down and the volume maxed. Fred kicked off 2025 with ‘Victory Lap’, setting the tone for a crazy year ahead. It was the first track of the year and a bold statement. The song highlights the amazing chemistry between Fred, Skepta, and Plaqueboymax—blending Fred’s intricate production with Skepta’s sharp delivery and Plaqueboymax’s energetic vibe. Catchy, confident, and full of swagger, this collab is one for the books and at #7 on our list. You know Lane 8 had to make this list. 2025 was the year of Bird Song, officially titled ‘The Remedy’. This Never Happened fans have been chasing this track ever since Lane 8 started dropping it at his Childish shows and festival sets with those iconic bird visuals. Daniel sampled ‘Yerbatero’ by Juanes, giving it that unique twist we can’t get enough of. Landing at #5 is the highly requested ID from ABGT600: Above & Beyond’s ‘Quicksand’ with Zoë Johnston. It’s the first single from their fifth studio album, Bigger Than All of Us. This track is pure emotion—another gem from a 22-year partnership between A&B and Zoë. Heartfelt, timeless, and destined to be on repeat for Anjuna fans for years to come. Inching closer to the top spot, at #4 we’ve got this insanely catchy track from Disco Lines and Tinashe: ‘No Broke Boys’. The moment it kicks in, my head’s bopping—and it never gets old. It’s all about attitude and groove. Raw and punchy, with a heavy bassline meeting crisp percussion, this one’s built for those late-night warehouse vibes. A track loved by everyone. At #3, CamelPhat and Kölsch deliver ‘Waste my time’, the first single from Kölsch’s album KINEMA. This one is a feel-good dance track with a perfect Ibiza vibe—deep, hypnotic, and full of emotion. The production is flawless, with lush melodies layered over a driving beat that pulls you in. It’s a track that feels just as powerful in a packed club as it does in your headphones. A true masterpiece from two legends. At #2, we’ve got EDMTunes favorite Anyma with the iconic ‘Hypnotized’. Every time I hear it, Ellie Goulding’s voice takes me back to that unforgettable premiere at the Sphere. What an experience. This track isn’t just a hit—it’s an anthem that will live on in dance music history. At Number 1, we’ve got Dutch powerhouse Mau P with ‘Like I Like It’. He’s been killing it this year, featuring twice in the top 10 on our list. This tech house banger is pure energy. A summer festival favorite, it hooks you from the first beat and never lets go. The bassline slams, and that vocal hook? Completely addictive. This isn’t just a track—it’s a statement. Mau P proves why they’re one of the most exciting names in the scene. And yes, we’re still grooving to it deep into winter.EDMTunes: Year In Tunes – Top 15 Original Tracks of 2025
