That's a wrap on 2021! Thank you all for tuning in and participating in this year's 'Best of' votes. These artists soundtracked our year so let's show them some love!
Big ups to every artist who's worked hard on creating new content, it makes life beautiful and thank you to everyone who voted for me this year, it means a lot. Absolutely gorgeous selection of music
This is probably the best album mix of Monstercat! It is very smooth and epic at the same time and blends in perfectly with the background! Can we all agree Monstercat has really outdone it?
You guys are too new to Monstercat. These mixes are absolute trash compared to the old legends Best of 2014 and Best of 2015. What once was a channel nearly dedicated to the EDM genre, turned into a huge sell-out by going super mainstream and catering to EVERY kind of music including rap music. I only clicked on this on a whim and again was disappointed. Stick to Frisson and FutureFox if you want actuall GOOD mixes with music that hits you in the feels.
@@charlesnewborn3760 Looks like someone's an og. Listen to me, we may be mainstream fans buts you cannot change us, just get used to the times changing, these are a lot better than 2014 and 2015 btw, your just a person who likes Linkin Park and those.
I just now realized, if you look real closely on the rainbow scratches in the middle of the background, the way the rainbow colors move into them, it almost reminded me of how they moved on the bottom side of the background in Best of 2014 (just by the color ends), which I think is pretty cool. :)
Man, this is hell of a compilation, but I can't help but feel sorry for Tony Romera, Whales and Bishu, who had an amazing year, but didn't make it to the top 40.
So glad to be with you guys in the chat! It's pretty crazy to see how the label has been growing for such a long time! Been listening to Monstercat for at least 6-in-a-half years now. I even re-discovered Best of 2011 some days ago, and golly that one gave me such extreme nostalgia of EDM (I remembered around like several songs in that mix too), and here it's like a major difference of how EDM has changed (since both of these are 10 years apart from eachother), but here has such mind-blowing & futuristic sound touches (like Crankdat, Ace Aura, F.O.O.L, Pixel Terror & Saint Punk). And I gotta say that this background here is really nice looking, even some of these songs fit perfect with it too. And the transitions are such perfect & mind-blowing too! Oh yeah, that intro here has such combination too! :D
Word, though if I have to be honest, a lot of instinct tracks for me this year were forgettable in my opinion. I miss the hype that I had with Instinct back in 2018/2019 here is hoping 2022 will be a better year for Instinct for me. There was a lot of good tracks I like but a lot of them I don't remember what they sound like
I’ve been waiting for so long for this moment. So many good songs and hard bangers in this track, that will be remembered for years and years to come. Onward to 2022!
Not gonna lie, this maybe my favorite best of the year mix yet. Lot of tracks and mixes that I enjoyed on here. Here's to 10+ years of MC greatness and what's to come in 2022.🐱🤙🏿
A lot of old Monstercat artists, as well as newcomers to the label, released such amazing tunes this year and I'm proud of them all! *Now let's look forward to 2022 and let's do it positively!* 🥂🎆
What a wave of emotions! I'm glad to come back and see so much fresh music under Monstercat label. 2021 has been a year of EDM / bass-music rediscovery for me; from 2009 to the present year. I can't wait for another year of fresh beats! Ironically, the thing that got me back into Monstercat was my annoyance at their NFTs lol. I'll probably never understand their appeal, but it ultimately doesn't matter. So long as I can patronize new & old creatives in the music industry, I'll be happy.
Amazing work to all the artists this year! Your all winners in my book I’m looking forward to seeing what songs and albums you guys release next year and I hope there’s a new Rocket league x Monstercat album Here’s to our favorite Curator!😺
Better than my Spotify wrapped, let me tell you... . . . . Love you all! and keep droppin' hard Monstercat! I wear the paw duster necklace to every dj gig i do so i keep my roots.
my mom is so lucky she got a whole best of compilation released on her birthday my votes for best of 2021: 1. pixel terror, chime, teminite - sleepless 2. crankdat, ace aura - the feeling 3. au5, nohc - awaken 4. anamanaguchi, 8485 - water resistant 5. tynan, ace aura - stay 6. fairlane, rozes, jt roach - out loud 7. slippy, london thor - dawn 8. bad computer - destroy me 9. bishu, dani king - worst behaviour 10. slippy, danyka nadeau - resonate 11. bossfight, jt roach, runn - shadow 12. dyro, conro - memory bank 13. shingo nakamura, brandon mignacca - darling midnight (bt remix) 14. grant, runn - fix it 15. drinks on me, kdyn - wop beat
dude that very first transition from "I only see you when I go to sleep" to "but I can't sleep" was already amazing I can't wait to listen to this mix on repeat for the next year
@@MarwanAlley77 It's a combination of Shingo Nakamura: Glow, Trivecta: Ghost in the Machine, and Pixel Terror, Teminite, and Chime: Sleepless. My guess is that from now on, the best of compilations will feature the highest voted song from each sublabel in the intro
I think I might be the only one here, but I kinda wish you can reconsider redoing BO2021? Sure, the mix is good, don't get me wrong. But I believe so many promising artists that should have entered BO2021 got snubbed real hard despite the songs by these artists are too good to pass up:- - Tony Romera (I can't stand that guy throughout the last two years, but this year is his most improved year ever) - Skyler Maddison - Kumarion - Teddy Killerz - CloudNone - Vindata - Drinks On Me - Maazel - Loads of Silk artists (A.M.R., AK, Claes Rosen, Glaue, Veeshy, Hausman, etc, even the vocalist Brandon Mignacca) - etc. I do think we should include 60 tracks since the addition of Silk. It is tough to have a mix, yes, but choosing 40 out of like 150% the size of Monstercat songs compared to previous years is not a great idea, meanwhile allowing multiple songs per artist made it worse. P.S. I can't believe I'm saying this, but back then, I don't even care about Silk during the acquisition because I was not a fan of Progressive House and anything related anymore, and I am more like an Uncaged guy since I started subscribed in 2018. But after last May and June rolled around, I started to relisten and I appreciated those genres once again, ending up voting for more Silk songs compared to the other two brands lol. P.S. #2 English is not my primary language
I can agree with Vindata one, weird that Good 4 Me / Union didn't make it, and Masayoshi Iimori's In My Soul, but nevertheless, it's fine album mix in this bo2021! 😉
Honestly, this is such a weird BO2021, the timescale this one took place in was incredibly short compared to past years. I almost want to say Mcat wants to phase out BO year mixes and are putting less effort into them, or they didnt have an honest voting system this year. I want to give Mcat the benefit of the doubt but there are just too many weird things with this album and mix. Vindata made top 20 electronic albums on Billboard this year for christ sake, and not even a mention in the BO album?? I've been here since Monstercat launched and this year has just been really head scratching for me.
I think some of my favorites on here (besides Sleepless) are Somewhere New, Memory Bank, Waiting & D.E.A.L by KUURO (I like how they both have different style too), Dark Magic & Mercy.
Been one amazing and hell of a year for everyone but we can all come together through Monstercat's music, love everybody here, have a merry Christmas and a happy new year here's to an even better 2022 ❤
Maybe the best compilation I've ever seen and listened to! Energy in the beginning, then some chill and bass tracks, with pure vocals and then of course a lot of energy til the end. Thank you for mixing it to convert all the songs into a big virtual performance.
Hearing the combination of Bianca's vocals on Waiting with the intro drop on Mercy playing on here gives me such an explosion of awesome-ness (just like a typical early Christmas gift)! :D
I think that for any of you fans (who hasn't heard of this Best of year mix before) should at least look into the Premiere YT Chat of it too (rather than just hearing this mix only), so that you'll understand better.
What a great year for monstercat! So many new faces like effin and vesk green! Glad to join the community this year and I’ll be staying here for a long time :D 🐱
That's a wrap on 2021! Thank you all for tuning in and participating in this year's 'Best of' votes. These artists soundtracked our year so let's show them some love!
Glad to be here
Hi im here for some reason
(Btw monstercat i love the music on your channel)
And can you see my demo
Great work to Uncaged, Instinct and Silk. Plus the mix is well done to incorporate the best of each imprint.
Thank you very much Monstercat for great work in all songs on the album mix of 2021
No, Thank YOU Monstercat!!
Big ups to every artist who's worked hard on creating new content, it makes life beautiful and thank you to everyone who voted for me this year, it means a lot. Absolutely gorgeous selection of music
Well deserved spot on BO2021. Nice job!
Hi rameses b! Your music is awesome
Samurai is great, congrats man!
Hi, Rameses B. Although I didn't like the songs you put out for Monstercat this year so much, I do like the work you do.
I love your music
Keep up the great work
You're a legend in this genre
Such a clean mix. 🙌 congrats on all the great releases on Monstercat this year ❤️
❤️❤️❤️
Idk what happened to you airwave, but you were bangin’ 9 years ago and now youre dead. Kinda sad about it

@@charlesnewborn3760 someone's insensitive to changes

Thank you Monstercat for making my 2021 so much better, with everything that's going on 😻

It's actually really cool, I won't lie
2014 was one of the best years from the label
Man, this is hell of a compilation, but I can't help but feel sorry for Tony Romera, Whales and Bishu, who had an amazing year, but didn't make it to the top 40.
Bishu and Whales are currently my favorite artists on here this year

Every time I take a break from monstercat and come back it feels like its just as good as when I left it.
why is everyone in the comment section more supportive and kind than my "friends" are? I don't know y'all, but i love you guys
10:21 this is just too smooth😍😍😍😍
I’ve been waiting for so long for this moment. So many good songs and hard bangers in this track, that will be remembered for years and years to come.
Onward to 2022!
Jesus christ that transition at 12:00 gave me chills
This is the only way teminite gets more Known
the intro of this song
Sublim this is supreme 🔥🔥🙌🏾
And the winner is...SLEEPLESS!!!
Thank you to everyone who made this year great

Была бы возможность налайкал бы ваши шедевры
42:57 can we have an extended version of the remix between these 2 songs? this drop is way too good to only be here
True... got goosebumps 🔥🔥
Agreed
So true... Monstercat should release more mashups!!
YESS
Every Mix I listen to is a banger to the highest degree...Keep up the good work Guys!!!!
2021 best year
nice mix monstercat ! It helps me a lot!
Album mixes never dissapoint! 🔥

Here’s to our favorite Curator!😺
Yeeeey! 2021 album!
Happy new year & Merry Christmas everyone!
This mix is awesome! Upbeat, positive and fun. Its a nice break from the more hardcore Dubstep labels such as NSD and Disciple.
Tokyo Machine not Toyko Machine
MEOW
this would be great if it was a wallpaper
THAT would be cool
we are heavy
Advanced Happy New year
Better than my Spotify wrapped, let me tell you...

@@bishop4390 🥰🥰
You and Skyelle absolutely dominated in that track.
I didn’t get a chance to vote but I would’ve totally chose “Change” so I’m glad it made it in!
@@duoge9139 ❤❤
hot damn, nothing will ever top the transitions between songs on monstercat album mixes
they should mixes for artists and transition their songs, would be dope.
I might be wrong but I think Going Quantum is doing the mixing for monstercat.
@@LaurentK it isn't GQ Mixing Anymore its an Actual DJ Mixing Named Rocketman
@@NBCM good to know, thanks !
LET'S GOOOOOOOO!!!!! this year was AWESOME for the label!

Nice list, I like some songs from there, especially Sleepless, Dawn, Stay, Shadow, Memory Bank and Awaken. 💖
Drinks on Me and Kdyn deserved a place in BO2021. Water Resistant is my favourite MCat song of 2021
Warriors needs no 1, glacier comeback was amazing
@@aries8428 i agree with you
This has been a great year. There's no denying it. Covid sucks, but I'm not going outside now, am I?
dude that very first transition from "I only see you when I go to sleep" to "but I can't sleep" was already amazing I can't wait to listen to this mix on repeat for the next year
@@MarwanAlley77 its all in the description and if you're on pc its under each chapter, the songs are ghost in the machine and sleepless
@@MarwanAlley77 It's a combination of Shingo Nakamura: Glow, Trivecta: Ghost in the Machine, and Pixel Terror, Teminite, and Chime: Sleepless. My guess is that from now on, the best of compilations will feature the highest voted song from each sublabel in the intro
Fr
2021 without Monstercat be like:
- such a sad year
2021 with Monstercat be like:
-such a sad year but with great songs
The intro leading into Sleepless was perfect "I only see you when I go to sleep" - "But I can't sleep!"
No infected mushroom😭
But still an awesome recap
Keep Up the nice Work Monstercat
Where is oblvyn??
What an amazing year for Monstercat. Great to see some Silk representation alongside Instinct and Uncaged as well!
Here's to next year! 🍾🍾
3 Bad Computers tracks!! Amazing!!📺❤
the transition between the intro is just hillarious
I only see u when u go to sleep.. but I cant sleep
0:53 - 0:57
Words can never explain how much of a masterpiece this is. 🤩🥳🥸
hearing warriors put a smile to my face not gonna lie
same
Best song of the year
@@Delitor no best song of all time
Time to say goodbye to 2021 and hello to 2022. What a year it’s been. Glad to be part of the journey with everyone else at Monstercat.
To me this just feels more strictly for gaming music. Gotta listen to something like this while playing COD Zombies.
I think I might be the only one here, but I kinda wish you can reconsider redoing BO2021? Sure, the mix is good, don't get me wrong. But I believe so many promising artists that should have entered BO2021 got snubbed real hard despite the songs by these artists are too good to pass up:-
- Tony Romera (I can't stand that guy throughout the last two years, but this year is his most improved year ever)
- Skyler Maddison
- Kumarion
- Teddy Killerz
- CloudNone
- Vindata
- Drinks On Me
- Maazel
- Loads of Silk artists (A.M.R., AK, Claes Rosen, Glaue, Veeshy, Hausman, etc, even the vocalist Brandon Mignacca)
- etc.
I do think we should include 60 tracks since the addition of Silk. It is tough to have a mix, yes, but choosing 40 out of like 150% the size of Monstercat songs compared to previous years is not a great idea, meanwhile allowing multiple songs per artist made it worse.

You're not alone in your thoughts, but the consensus is to focus on making Best Of 2022 a better system.
OBLVYN also didn’t get in (one of my new Instinct favorites)…oh well
:(
Tony definitely deserved a spot on here
I can agree with Vindata one, weird that Good 4 Me / Union didn't make it, and Masayoshi Iimori's In My Soul, but nevertheless, it's fine album mix in this bo2021! 😉

I've been here since Monstercat launched and this year has just been really head scratching for me.
Glad to see Sleepless on the best of Monstercat. Definitely my favorite Monstercat song of the year. What is y’all’s favorites?
Warriors
I think some of my favorites on here (besides Sleepless) are Somewhere New, Memory Bank, Waiting & D.E.A.L by KUURO (I like how they both have different style too), Dark Magic & Mercy.
I’m kinda new here but so far my faves are Feint drifters decoy world forgot who and galaxies protostars
Been one amazing and hell of a year for everyone but we can all come together through Monstercat's music, love everybody here, have a merry Christmas and a happy new year here's to an even better 2022 ❤
That transition at 42:57 is the best thing Ive ever heard in my life 😭 I love you monstercat

Some amazing dubstep this year! I’m thanks manstercot for my first whole year following the label!
Yes, especially Sleepless, Awaken, Shadow, Stay, Endgame and The Pit. 💖
manstercot lol
Still my best MC best of any year
WHAT WE’VE BEEN WAITING FOR!!
see you again Monstercat in 2022!!
Hearing the combination of Bianca's vocals on Waiting with the intro drop on Mercy playing on here gives me such an explosion of awesome-ness (just like a typical early Christmas gift)! :D
Amazing, I love this! 👀
Great yearly mix, Monstercat! :3
I think that for any of you fans (who hasn't heard of this Best of year mix before) should at least look into the Premiere YT Chat of it too (rather than just hearing this mix only), so that you'll understand better.
슬립리스는 진짜 언제들어도 레전드네
I liked this mix but I wish it were the entire musics being mixed honestly. Though I guess it could be to make people go see individual tracks.
Ya know these are gonna be the only Album Mixes for Nonstercat now any others would be the rare EP or LP album mix
26:48
Pixel terror has such a good beat ngl
Respect to eptic for bringing some of that underground uk dnb*
I love bossfight
I love Bossfight too, it definitely took him away this year. 💖
Agree
Congrats on another year of music! 🔥❤️🙌🏻
GOOO!
bye 2⃣0⃣2⃣1⃣!
hello 2⃣0⃣2⃣2⃣!
Amazing!!!
Small mistake. Not Toyko Machine, correct Tokyo Machine
these transitions are smooth as hell! absolute banger tracks
Last year i was on the toilet and found Monstercat 2020 mix live, this year i sit on the toilet again, and i find Monstercat 2021 mix live.
Keep this tradition going
10:20 THIS IS THE MOST EPIC MASHUP I'VE HEARD IN A WHILE

What a great year for monstercat! So many new faces like effin and vesk green! Glad to join the community this year and I’ll be staying here for a long time :D
