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.

The transition between Ubi and Don’t say ur sorry was SMOOOTHH!!!

You weren't kidding. That is amazing!

[@magiccinnamon5382]

All of the transitions are smooth like here I am thinking this is all one song.

looks almost like its from Ark

[@darknid158]

It’s the crab rave island

[@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

[@CZsWorld]

2021 we have to get Crab Rave 2 this year

[@FireCharge-yk1xq]

[@thelinktohyrule6328]

Slushii's All I Need isn't close enough?

[@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

[@aehighfmcolinchin]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@Doakey]

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!

[@bluemoon8851]

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

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.

[@romzimus893]

Fun fact: nothing is better in 2020 than this playlist

[@magiccinnamon5382]

So true

[@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).

[@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.

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

[@sergiwedge452]

Not to mention they used the "safe" version of Therapy...

[@flowstate_vfx]

the best of's aren't from january to december, but from december to november, that's why it's from 2019 but still on bo2020, the same happened with Subside and A Lot Like You back in the day

I don't understand why the instinct mix is ​​short and they changed the way of voting in Bo2020. I was hoping to see Inverness, Smle, Rome in Silver, Rameses B, Nonsens, Slumberjack, Kage, Feed Me and others this year. The voting system in this year isn't perfect.

[@iustinabradescu]

nothing is perfect :)

[@JoshyMcSquashy_Reviews]

Kage got booted out of the list unfortunately

[@lo_ouis31]

Yes man. There was a lot of good music from Monstercat: Instinct that year, and as I put it in one of the comments, in 2018-19 it was pretty reasonable, but I was very disappointed with the amount of tracks I had on the album this year. And I will put here as one of the guys who commented on the video there, the least they should do, was to separate the votes, to vote for 10 best songs from Uncaged and Instinct. I know I wouldn't get a lot of votes on Instinct, but it would be a great idea to have a great balance on the album. I hope someone from behind the label is reading these comments and that by the end of 2021 they will put this idea into practice.

[@lo_ouis31]

@@iustinabradescu It is not a question of the album being perfect, but having a great balance between Uncaged and Instinct. But if you think about it, Monstercat: Instinct has very little subscribers if you compare Monstercat: Uncaged, and if you doubt it, there will probably be fans of the label who don't even know Instinct or even aren't interested in this channel and it's that makes me a little sad, you know. . . Uncaged is always highlighted and Instinct is somewhat forgotten. Remembering, this is not a negative comment but a constructive criticism and I also love Monstercat: Uncaged, but I would like Monstercat: Instinct to stand out just as Monstercat: Uncaged does.

[@REDFANGDALLRED]

Nice video

[@t00nvisi0n]

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! :)
