What a fantastic year it has been in music, especially EDM. The genre has gained even more recognition, thanks to leading acts like Avicii, Martin Garrix, Calvin Harris. Anyways, I decided to write-up the ten best house tracks of the year that perk your interest. It’s house, but with a unique flare that I know you will love, so here goes.
10. Alesso & Dirty South ft. Ruben Haze – City of Dreams
How can you resist the euphoria of this progressive house gem?!

9. Alex Metric & Jacques Lu Cont ft. Malin – Safe With You
It doesn’t matter who you are, because this track is sure to spread a smile across your face and keep you pressing play over and over.

8. Ummet Ozcan – Here & Now
Sure, he may be the king of one-note drops, but his arrangements are genius, especially on this banger from earlier in the year.

7. Avicii – Wake Me Up
Avicii proved that country and EDM could work as he truly struck gold with an anthem I’ll never get tired of.

6. Flight Facilities – Clair De Lune feat. Christine Hoberg (Motez Remix)
I never knew the original could get any better until I stumbled across this remix from the talented Montez. It is wholly captivating, something I cannot turn off.

5. Walden – First Day (Maor Levi Remix)
Maor Levi Provides a Madeon-ish remix to “First Day” that no matter how many times you listen, always sounds refreshing.

3. Disclosure ft. Sam Smith– Latch
Yes, I had to put this in here because not only is it one of the best tracks ever, but also has the funkiest hooks I’ve heard.

2. Seven Lions, Myon & Shane 54 ft. Tove Lo – Strangers
Possibly the greatest trio of the year combined to produce this incredible, heart melting anthem.

1. Dillon Francis ft. T.E.E.D. – Without You (The Rebirth)
Dillon’s first take on Progressive House left my jaw on the floor and rightfully deserves the #1 track of the year!

no offence guys but it boggles my mind that you would call this selection of tracks HOUSE music. no self respecting House music lover would DARE! stick to EDM. it’s way more your area.
This is barely house. Latch is the only track that actually applies near to “house”. Good god, are you serious? You can do MUCH better, considering this is an EDM-specific site. Try again, please.
MK?
What genre would you call these if house is so inaccurate?? I hear house and seven lions, which are more dubstep. Some very rash criticisms here.
I like Avicii and all, but did he forgot what is an extended mix ?
Dillon Francis killed it this year
