When we quizzed Amsterdam based DJ Reiss as one of our Rising Stars near the beginning of 2018, we asked what excited him most about electronic music at the moment. He replied: “The fact there’s so much inspiring and original music coming out.“
At the time, we most certainly agreed but as 2018 draws to an emotional close, his words have stuck with us and we couldn’t agree more.
Without further ado and in no particular order, here at Trommel we’d like to present to you our top 100 tracks of 2018. Enjoy!
