- ACRAZE, "Do It To It" One of the biggest dance hits of the year was built on the 2006 Cherish R&B single of the same name, as New York producer ACRAZE broke out with the concise two minute and 37-second dance tutorial (“Bounce with it, pop with it, lean with it, rock with it”).
- Austin Millz & Aluna, “Gold” While many New York City neighborhoods are synonymous with various subgenres of dance and electronic music, Harlem hasn’t traditionally been one of them.
- Bleu Clair, AC Slater, Kate Wild, “Green Light” When two bass music producers collaborate, we don’t typically expect a piano house bop. Perhaps it’s the influence of singer/songwriter Kate Wild, but on their first release for Tiësto’s Musical Freedom label, DJ/producers Bleu Clair and AC Slater deliver the catchiest club track of their discographies to date.
- Caribou, “You Can Do It" As Caribou’s mastermind Dan Snaith put it to Billboard in November, “You Can Do It” is the work of a “naive optimist.” Produced in response to the excitement Snaith felt about the COVID-19 vaccine then released in August, with the world tentatively opening up again, the song combines lush synth chords with a gleeful vocal refrain that never pauses for breath.
- Alesso feat. Zara Larsson, “Words” The creative collision of these Swedes culminated in a dance-pop single with clear staying power, so much so that it’d go on to spend 26 weeks on the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart—and in good company, at that.
- Alison Wonderland, “Fear of Dying” Overthinking and anticipatory grief are a paradoxically sobering cocktail; take it from Alison Wonderland. The third single from her third studio album, Loner (which debuted at No. 3 on the Top Dance/Electronic Albums chart), traces the arc of an all-consuming, anxiety-fueled panic rooted in the fear of loss.
- Aluna, Diplo & Durante, “Forget About Me” From her days singing electro-pop bursts with AlunaGeorge to demonstrating her equivalent production skills on her phenomenal 2020 debut solo LP Renaissance, Aluna’s output is vital to club culture, and in 2022 she continued that legacy via “Forget About Me.”
- Andrew Bayer & Kaleena Zanders, “Break the Rules” On “Break the Rules,” the final single from his expansive double album, Duality, Andrew Bayer taps the resplendent house vocalist Kaleena Zanders for one of her trademark anthemic performances, designed to break through even the most jaded listener’s sonic malaise.

- The Blessed Madonna with JOY (Anonymous) & Danielle Ponder, “Carry Me Higher“ “Carry Me Higher” is the kind of house record that takes dancefloors from bubbling to boiling over: Slow builds from bubbling drums to bumping basslines, crisp snaps to sizzling hi-hats and string plucks to synth transcendence, with brief breakdowns like taking a lid off the pot to release pent-up steam.
