This year was a DnB Renaissance. Between the old guard of Delta Heavy, ShockOne, Feint, and MUZZ churning out hits, as well as some newer faces in REAPER, Bossfight, Bensley, and Mazare, with a resurgence of Protostar, all topped off with the return of Pendulum, DnB is back with a vengeance, and it's beautiful. To all of the artists who released this year, DnB and otherwise, thank you. Your efforts are appreciated.

Congrats to all artists featured in this mix, very well deserved, and hope to see a lot more from everyone in the following years.

[@Pandahydra]

The number of songs chosen between uncaged and instinct are ridiculous.

[@joshyjoshyjoshy]

That’s probably because of the subscriber difference between the two and people like me who generally prefer the uncaged stuff more

@@bozcy8791 I think what they meant was that the uncaged one was longer than the instinct one, which is because uncaged has way more subs and viewers

Oh my, I even noticed that the color of all 3 structures (for Uncaged Vol. 8, 9 & 10) on the left side of the island, they're actually my top 3 favorite colors (blue, green & purple), and even by the closer shot (and as much as I love some of the songs here) I even LOVE how the purple & green structure & markings are put next to eachother on that side too as well! :D

Jesus Christ, the transitions in this are completely unnoticeable. I straight up did not realize you changed from Slippy - Form to Crankdat - Dark Room until I clicked on the video again.

[@zappinghero4690]

Man, I'm super happy & thrilled that they put at least a song on here from the Uncaged Vol. 8 Album! It makes it a great nostalgic touch (and being the first Mcat release of the new decade Era too)! :D Here are my top 10 favorite songs that made it on here, not really in a perfect order: 1. Bad Computer - 2U 2. Pixel Terror - Bittersweet 3. Sullivan King & Wooli - Don't Forget Me 4. Bensley - Vex 5. Infected Mushroom & Bliss - Ani Mevushal 6. REAPER - BARRICADE 7. Pixel Terror & Dirty Chime - Collapse 8. TYNAN - Rockin' 9. Cyazon & Essenger - Neo Soul 10. Crankdat - Dark Room

[@danalynch118]

Instinct and uncanged are completely different tho. You can’t even compare the two

[@Stockader]

@@danalynch118 You can't compare the songs themselves, but you can compare the amount of good songs from each. In my opinion, Uncaged had many more great songs this year than Instinct, so I voted all Uncaged. But last year I felt the opposite and voted mostly Instinct

[@LocoWhoEatsCOCO]

@@danalynch118 What the previous comment said. They were more memorable, better quality tracks on Uncaged than Instinct, where most of the tracks werent memorable nor did it really stand out alot in terms of diversity. I usually keep my votes fair 5 for each brand but for this year I end up picking 7 for Uncaged due to the statement ive mentioned.

[@fishbowlliz]

The Uncaged releases were so good this year! My favorites are: "Somewhere Else" and "Star Glide" by MUZZ "Dark Room" and "Redo" and "Tell Me" by Crankdat "Butterfly Effect" by Koven.

[@MockingbirdEDM]

I like that Monstercat takes the time to set up a voting process for BO each year rather than just regurgitating whatever got the most views. It really shows; nearly every song here is one I love. Also, congrats to Bossfight, MUZZ, Crankdat, and Pixel Terror on the triple placements, and Au5 with two songs in the top five! It's been a crazy year for music.

[@elias4416]

@Mockingbird don’t forget about Bad Computer he also had a phenomenal year, 3 of his songs placed high on the voting, 2 in uncaged best of and 1 in instinct best of

[@elias4416]

Ok so idk if you have ocd 😆but you are definitely being picky, honestly either way would have worked, they are going to flow better though all heavy songs in 1 best of and all chill songs in the other best of, I think it makes for a better listener experience overall

[@thesalsaguy4395]

In case you were wondering, the voting this year differed in terms of, it was no longer 1 song per artist, hence why artists like Crankdat are on here 3 times, and why Instinct, with the smaller following, is intensely dwarfed compared to Uncaged. Hell, the #1 song on Instinct was Slushii’s RL tune. Never mind that, though. This year for music was stellar, and don’t forget the monumental event next week: The remix exchange. Au5, Pegboard Nerds, Darren Styles, Rogue, Stonebank, and Infected Mushroom are coming out with remixes of each other’s songs next week to celebrate the holiday season. (The remixed songs by which artists are unknown, kind of like a gift.) also The Promised Land wins AOTY and no one can tell me otherwise.

[@scamtdtf]

That purr in Bad Computer - 2U sounds absolutely amazing. Definitely have to find more music with that.

[@letszer4520]

Great mix! Loved all of the Monstercat releases this year (uncaged and instinct :)! Idea for next year: I like seeing a top 40 of all of the songs of the year, compared across genres, but I see two flaws. 1. The original reason to split Monstercat into uncaged and instinct was to make it possible for more types of music to get heard on Monstercat, and to categorize a little better so we didn't have some heavy trap followed by direct on an album. But then the best of 2020 lists are combined and it's slightly confusing, you want to give each side of the spectrum equal releases, but then compare them across genre by popularity. Instinct has way less active subscribers (not total, active) and seems to be at a disadvantage. We all know that there were more than 12 notable songs released on instinct this year and an easy fix would be to do a top 20 of instinct and uncaged separately. The voting could still be combined, but instinct wouldn't be drowned out by uncaged then. 2. There seem to be notable songs missing off of this mix too! We had an awesome newcomer Kage come in who released some bangers that had a lot of people hyped up, and FOOL put in a ton of effort this year and didn't have a single song make the top 28 (40 with instinct). The one song per artist cap is annoying but effective. I think we all know at this point that Bad computer and Au5 are fan favorites whose releases will always make the best of, but it's only fair to give other artists a chance, imagine Kage having a song in the best of, that's a ton of promotion! Obviously, I'm one voice among thousands and millions, but I think some of the community might agree with me on this one. Thanks :) Mcat for life!
