It was difficult to narrow down my top choices for mixes this year, as there were so many to choose from across multiple genres. All of the creative energy that artists would’ve spent performing live in clubs and festivals was channeled into creating content that us listeners happily streamed during living room dance parties, socially-distant picnics, long drives, and afternoon runs. However, that didn’t stop DJs and producers from releasing loads of quality mixes and tracks, and even taking their live sets online for a worldwide (web) audience. If 2019 was a fire emoji of parties and nightlife, 2020 saw that flame virtually extinguished. Hope you enjoy exploring the mixes, dive in below. Many of them rely on community funding to survive, and all of them are doing essential work, so give them a follow and donation if you’re able to. There’s links to follow and support the stations featured in this list alongside their selections. There’s incredible variety in the sounds featured across these mixes, which are a testament to dance music’s ability to thrive even without the club context - while the rise of virtual raving equally showcased the club community's resolve and ability to adapt. In a year where clubs were largely shuttered and dancefloors lay vacant, radio has been vital for maintaining community, giving people a shared experience to rally around in the absence of physical spaces.
This time, we’ve reached out to radio stations and hosts to pick out five favourite sets broadcast in 2020. As with our Best Tracks of the Year and Best Albums of the Year features in 2020, we’ve opened up our Best Mixes of the Year rundown to a global spread of perspectives.
