4. Above & Beyond - We Are All We Need ft Zoë Johnston

It was one of the biggest songs of the year, from one of the biggest acts on the planet. Full acoustic, or totally plugged in, Above & Beyond are one of our faves, and will always find a place on our year-end list.

3. Driftmoon - Bittersweet

We've been watching the rise of Driftmoon carefully. This European duo has caught the ears of some pretty influential movers and shakers in the EDM community in 2014, and they're poised to make an even bigger breakout in 2015. Mark our words.

2. BT - Paralyzed ft Christian Burns

Ask any producer, from across all genres, who the number one sound designer in the entire industry is, and to a person, they'll name check Brian Transeau. He's been in the game a long time, but he's still one of the absolute greats. BT had some major accomplishments in 2014, none bigger than the release of "Paralyzed."
