Fun Fact: Duumu has been in all of Monstercat's Best Of Albums since his arrival.

Another person that's in all Instinct albums so far is Conro.

Congratulations to everyone who made the best of mix this year. It truly was a good year for Instinct. About 75% of my Monstercat playlist is from Instinct now.

[@honeybia3037]

Oh my god the transition between Butterfly Effect and Empires is just so smooth and perfect

[@glitchdesu]

The end of one of the weirdest years is coming, and with it come my most anticipated albums. Congrats to all artists featured in this mix, very well deserved, and hope to see a lot more from everyone in the following years. But for now, let's just hope 2021 brings more than this one has brought us, and that 2020 will only be something to remember soon.

[@zappinghero4690]

This is actually the first time that a Conro track made it in Monstercat Best of year Compilation that I genuinely enjoy a lot (mainly because of the typical funky bass and electric guitar sounds), and I'm very glad for that too (and I wanted to thank everyone who voted for Therapy to be on here)! I'm also glad that Time Travel Kool Aid made it on here as well! :D

[@zappinghero4690]

26:41 OMG! It made it in here! That Ellis track made it in here! Whooo!!! :D

[@iustinabradescu]

i was shocked when I saw, it was one of my fav

[@zappinghero4690]

@@iustinabradescu That's cool.

[@MockingbirdEDM]

Love nearly every song on this mix. Even if Instinct's not getting as much spotlight, it's been a great year for music!

[@SadPorkChop]

Don’t know what I would do without Monstercat to be honest. :)

[@boogieboy7945]

3:40 love the transition

[@Johnjohncar]

I don't understand why the best of the year voting isn't split up for Uncaged and Instinct. Instinct is always going to be at a disadvantage because it has significantly less subscribers than Uncaged. I know the best of the year voting isn't perfect, but if you're going to split up the channels then split up the voting too. The fact that this mix is only 37 minutes is pretty disappointing because there was a lot more great stuff released on Instinct this year.

[@vairexxx]

I agree with you. they have to split up the best ofs.

[@zappinghero4690]

I think another reason why this mix is this short is because of a couple VIP songs and even 3 tracks by a same artist that made it on Uncaged mix.

[@RayhemXD]

You do realise the majority of people who voted are like die hard fans so the sub gap between them is kinda irrelevant

[@Johnjohncar]

@@RayhemXD True, i kinda forgot about that. I just don't think it makes sense to split the fan base between channels, then have us vote for the best songs from the two channels into one vote. Besides if they did that, it would mean we could vote for even more songs, assuming they would stick to the 10 song cap for each vote.

[@togawe]

If more people like uncaged, and more people vote for uncaged, then why shouldn't uncaged have more songs? That seems fair to me

[@static_monarch4466]

Empires is easily my personal favorite song of the entire year. The premiere for it gave it a lot of hype as well. Glad to see it on the best of 2020

[@nakar882]

The transitions between songs sometimes is so smooth I dont notice that the song have changed I love this

[@mr.__.pringle]

That transition from Butterfly Effect to Empires was great! Almost all of these songs are already on or are going to be on my main playlist!

[@ViewingMaster2025]

Margarita & Chasing Clouds are such amazing songs!

[@dogbone3733]

What a mix. I am a bit sad that Odyssey got snubbed but that doesn't matter when we've got some of the best instinct tracks I've ever heard yet. Seriously, this might be their best year yet. 2021 might beat this mix, it might not. Only time will tell. Special thanks to PandaHydra, JSG, and King Julian for keeping this comment section somewhat stable.

[@Brandon-558]

This flows so nicely between the songs, good job in the picks.

[@joshuahawkins9093]

I'm so happy slushii is at the top of this one to start it off

[@moopmeep5094]

What a year ! Thanks monstercat !

[@viewchecker5008]

Ay! This "Best of year" Instinct mix has finally gotten more views than Uncaged Vol. 9 Album mix, nice! :) And yes, I usually use this account mostly to check on the exact number of views for anything specific (mostly with Monstercat mixes anyway). UV9 is really awesome (especially Feed Me & F.O.O.L), but I'm really glad to see that another touch of an Instinct mix had gotten more views than that background lightning mix anyway.

[@bluemoon8851]

What I like most about this comment section is the lack of bad jokes.

[@jakeisrael7899]

Really wish this was longer!

[@alextrayer1471]

ye

[@myblurred-audioelectronicm3745]

I listened throughout this entire mix with my pair of headphones (that had that typical echoing audio sound) around some weeks ago, and the moment I heard Empires by Rogue playing on here, it gave me some interesting & impressive reaction (with the vocals). :)

[@brucederbar8563]

I'm hyped right now this is gonna be amazing

[@QuangGoodman]

List of what could've been on this: -Home alright -Shiawase(VIP) -Together -Midnight Train -Emty Promises

[@theoneonlyhiiro7016]

Urban Foxes.

[@swickzy9250]

Shiawase VIP was the worst on the Legacy EP. Silhouette Feed Me remix was so much better.

[@lo_ouis31]

Found A Reason, Animal, Lost My Mind, Only You, Arcade, Never Had, Night Cap, Outerspace, You Gotta Be, Unspoken, Bite . . . A lot of good music was missing, bro! I'm really disappointed, really.

[@aehighfmcolinchin]

Monstercat Albums in 2021: 1. IV7 2. UV11 3. 10YA 4. IV8 5. UV12

[@zappinghero4690]

Even though I like Rogue's other two main songs in 2020 quite more (mostly Fusion), the one that made it on here (Empires) actually fit's perfect with the background. The transition from Butterfly Effect to Empires is really cool though. :) UPDATE: In case that Monstercat Instinct Vol. 7 Album hasn't even existed yet, I'm currently more happy to see that Empires made it in here instead having Fusion in here (even if I still liked the vocal performance on Fusion a bit more as a separate tune itself).

Crazy only 11 Instinct tracks made it for best of 2020! And as I mentioned before on the uncaged mix This year for Monstercat was decent for me, I liked 2019 better. However I think the 11 instinct tracks that were chosen are great! None of the instinct tracks I voted for did not make it. Disappointed Just a Gent and Smle - Revival, Direct - Opal, and Cloudnone & Direct - Told U did not make it! 2020 was definitely the year for Direct! Seriously love his new garage direction! But either way happy with the end result for Monstercat Best of 2020! Looking forward for 2021! I have a feeling it is gonna be great for Monstercat next year! Hopefully it will be the new 2011 for Monstercat.

[@zappinghero4690]

I think the ones I'm glad that made it on here (even if I didn't vote for any) are Therapy, Butterfly Effect, Time Travel Kool Aid, Don't Say Ur Sorry (which was my favorite main released song from Ellis) and Chasing Clouds! :)

A bit disappointing, it's too short, some great tracks were released this year, these aren't the only ones, and Therapy needs normalization. bo2019, which was the best one imo, was released on the 13th of december, you can still fix it! lol
