We all know the best single every year is Connor

11:00 Pendulum and "Bullet for my Valentine", although i do wish BMTH would collab with Pendulum

[@Nawtystep]

Oh my days why did I say that 😂 that’s a true slip of the mind if ever there was one! Same amount of words really got me there hahah

[@Aeycer8-bit]

What’s funny is that I’ve only heard of like 4 singles from this whole list… never knew the other 46 even existed 😂

[@Nawtystep]

Oh wow, a lot to dig into then! Enjoy the playlist :)

[@Aeycer8-bit]

@@Nawtystep thanks bruv! Also despite having a pretty quiet 2023… always great to see Ace Aura make it into a list like this!

[@xknowndubz]

teminite and skybreak are absolutely gods for that track

[@kitsvne_writeups]

Oh yeah they killed it

[@Nawtystep]

A great duo that I hope we get more of at some point!

[@silcrowmusic]

such an honor to be mentioned, and great list top to bottom!!

[@Nawtystep]

Cracking track mate ✨✨

[@W0rmBuffet]

Great list, Connor! Super happy to see G Jones in the top 5. My favourite bass single this year is probably Tactix by Eptic. The sheer energy that song radiates is so infectious and I love it so much!

[@Nawtystep]

Yeah lots of good to that track, had it just outside my honourable mentions 👌

[@MRH34DS40T98]

Omg I’ve been looking for that song’s name FOREVER and could never find it thank you SO MUCH

[@REBACK7]

Connor's taste shifted from the heavier, masterfully engineered music to searching for unique, new sounding stuff. It's probably not surprising as he has to go through so much music which is mostly on the heavier side. Intersting how we had 2 space laces original tracks this year and they didn't even make the honorable mentions.

[@Nawtystep]

Bass music is incredibly diverse, there’s no doubt about it! Think I’ve realised that this year more than any other, which comes with finding as much music as possible I suppose

[@Yebsi_]

i saw Accelerate on the thumbnail and knew this would be on point, good stuff man

[@Nawtystep]

Just a fantastic track by two fantastic melodic Bass boys 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@dullscythe1057]

my short list: 10. RIOT - Streets 9. Overmono - So U Kno 8. Chase & Status - Baddadan 7. Moody Good - Slappy Slap 6. ISOxo - dontstopme! 5. Juelz - Surrender 4. Space Laces - Survive 3. Buunshin - i think i feel... 2. PEEKABOO - Badders 1. Skrillex - Tears

[@pentime4431]

Really good list

[@Nawtystep]

Nice! I was gonna include So U Kno in my list but didn’t coz it originally dropped in 2021 and I thought people would kick up a fuss about that 😅 same with MTV by Nitepunk

[@galaxity_]

Great list! Definitely going to spend the next week listening through everything I missed. If I were to choose any 10 tracks from 2023 they would be (in no particular order): knock2 - rock ur world eptic - witchcraft grape milk - ayo check frequent - zoinker coki & leotrix - last nite vorso - tricks skrillex, joker & sleepnet - tears eprom - irisoft livemixx lxsh & warble - resilience false noise - return to winter

[@Nawtystep]

Some top choices here, love the Coki and Leotrix recognition! And the frequent of course, I considered a couple tracks from UPSCARE for the honourable mentions

[@captainhero6550]

Solid list

[@mikiasmengistu4487]

We did again, another year, another amazing selection of bass music. Will say, that I did not expect the number #1. Oh yeah, my top singles would be, in no order: Free your mind - Leo Cap 6 speeed - Eugene Dungeon Society - Dimenion 9, etc. Forever, She Saidd, Nemesy Accelerate - Teminite and Skybreak

[@Nawtystep]

Love the Leo Cap shout, definitely in the top 100 for me like I listed. Good picks beyond that too!

[@ClaybrookUK]

An absolute honour to be on here Connor - Max Love n Respect ❤️

[@Nawtystep]

Yessss my g looking forward to the new ep!

[@Awkamess]

Really well balanced list

[@Nawtystep]

Glad you enjoyed! Btw saw your comment on another of these videos saying thanks for the support, I can’t remember which one but was it a comp you were on?

[@Awkamess]

@@Nawtystep Hey, that was on the comp list! I'm a founder of OTHERWRLD. Would love to chat sometime 🧡

[@Nawtystep]

@@Awkamess oh siiiiick awesome yeah god what a compilation. Drop me a DM on Insta or Twitter if you could, absolutely let’s chat 🤝

[@bcphillips]

Great list, 2023 was a huge year for singles. My top 10 would probably be: Knock2, fussy - rock ur world Azaleh - Transcendence (love to see Emerald Sand in your list, that was my 2nd fav from the album) KOAN Sound - Ascension (v hard to pick just one from LBAL) Skrillex, Joker, Sleepnet - Tears Slowpalace - give Halogenix - Lost Friends AWAY, Grey - 7-DS COPYCATT - THOGG BeutNoise - Pepino BVSSIC - Necessity Tech

[@Nawtystep]

Yesss nice list loving the COPYCATT and BVSSIC shouts!

[@bcphillips]

@@Nawtystep thanks! Not sure how both only have 10k soundcloud followers

[@bcphillips]

​@OdysseusGreen much agreed :) that track is such a fresh take on house and Azaleh's soundscapes and attention to detail is nuts

[@orbitsrailfanvids]

Love that you put revenge of the orchestra at number 9. Easily my favorite apashe track to date.

[@parryngov4929]

Love what you did with Sorry. That song has my favorite samples in Cheap Thrills

[@Nawtystep]

SAAAARREEEEEEEEE ☺️☺️

[@walpang8968]

Hey connor, any thoughts on JKuch? His song Escape is from 2019 but it's my favorite song I've heard in a loooong time

[@Nawtystep]

Fantastic producer, and pretty unique with the approach. Not making as much Bass-oriented music atm to my knowledge, but I might be remembering that wrong

[@Rafutah]

My top 5 in 2023 would be: Honourable mention 1: Themba & Nico De Andrea feat. Tasan - Disappear Honourable mention 2: Matisse & Sadko feat. James French - Pull Me Through The Fire 5. Kryder feat. Sarah De Warren - Lights Out 4. Pendulum - Nothing For Free 3. Haywyre - White Lie 2. Jason Ross - One Time 1. Sullivan King - Thrones Of Blood

[@Nawtystep]

Ooh nothing for free, interesting shout!

[@carcrazycanuk7468]

Very late on this, college got busy fast but my favourite track of the year was Sorcery Syndicate by Bainbridge followed closely by Refuge from Vastive.

[@vagnarao5019]

O MY FUCKING GOD!!!! I DIDN'T KNOW YOU'D LIKE TRIP SO MUCH!!!! FUCK YEAH

[@erm4ck448]

My pick for the year has to go to Sometimes I Wish I Learned How To Live Life Sooner by Neddie. I have never been as emotionally captivated by a future riddim song (if you can call it that) than this one and I'm stoked to see what else Neddie has in store for us. My honorable mentions would be: Neddie - The Rage Right Beneath The Surface Teminite & Skybreak - Accelerate Au5 - What You've Done Chime - Homeworld KOAN Sound - Voices of Dissent Effin - Lessons Exyl - Without You Cyclops - Dungeoncore And finally INFEKT - Be Kind, Rewind Pretty solid year for sure and 2024 already has some fire

[@smarkey]

Kind of shocked Nitepunk wasn’t placed higher given all the hype- either Slices or Too Hot to Touch would definitely be going in my top 10! Very solid list though and fun to watch. Always appreciate your effort to make these rankings, I don’t think I could do it!

[@Nawtystep]

Again though, don’t forget top 100 out of 20k+ is top 0.5% so still very high praise! He did have a top 3 album of last year as well so he’s got the praise from me Also, gonna message you on discord soon. Almost ready to get recording some audio again ✨

[@Nawtystep]

(And yes these lists are very difficult to put together, appreciate the recognition!)

[@therealfuzzen]

First track id played?

[@syncmaniax7457]

Missing some buunshin and caracal project, but other than that it's a fine list

[@Nawtystep]

But which tracks though? Haven’t been too fond of TCP’s vocals, and Buunshin’s output last year I found just fine really

[@syncmaniax7457]

@@Nawtystep i can see why you wouldn't like TCP's vocals, they can be a bit meh sometimes. Though, i think Buunshin's 'Not Everything Is Your Fault' EP is one of, if not, the best album of 2023. What i adore about both of their projects is that they attempt to innovate the genres their working with. Especially with Buunshin's EP, i enjoy the robustness of his basses and the uniqueness of the songstructure. Not often you find DnB songs that build around a single drop, while still reaching the 5 minute mark (AND be enjoyable all throughout). But to each their own :)

[@imwearingshirtsnow2097]

Nirvana on this list made me smile. Glad other people like that track

[@Nawtystep]

Yesssss such a banger. Filth On Acid label generally deserves a lot more recognition

[@yovalyoval5412]

My favorite track of the year was "Magnetar" by Ohmie Beautiful chaos

[@florian_c]

Pog ! I really enjoy this one too, glad someone mentioned this track

[@timhoffman1169]

I just looked up track 13, Halo, and it''s actually Bullet for my Valentine and Pendulum, not BMTH.

[@morfie8209]

Checked out LINK - HYPER Very unusual track. I'm not sure what emotion it is broadcasting, but it's hypnotizing, I believe? It was like hearing Polyriddim for the first time

Said this elsewhere but was a complete slip of the mind 😅 both four words, name beginning with B, only way I can explain why my brain went there hahah

My top 3 of the year were Lunnari & jamz - Forever Ray Volpe - Happy Song Teminite & Skybreak - Accelerate Goated year for bass music, for sure

[@ItsBabaEro]

Happy Song doesn't even make my top 500. The mix sounds like shyte

[@kitsvne_writeups]

@@ItsBabaEro you really think so? Idk I just find it a fun track :)

[@ItsBabaEro]

@@kitsvne_writeups I feel like Ray Volpe just put in as many sounds in the drop as he possibly could and they don't really have a purpose in the audio spectrum. It's just kind of annoying and overwhelming.

[@ItsBabaEro]

@@kitsvne_writeups a similar song that was well executed with a proper mix is Pumpany By Kai Wachi and Kompany
