We live in a day and age where the music world has never been more saturated. With access to modern advances, anyone can follow their dream and create something new and fresh. As every year passes and genres evolve, despite the saturation, the quality of music continues to thrive. Just when I think that a year of music can’t be topped, an innovative producer or artist opens a door that leads to a new world. That’s just what I love about music. It’s one of the most variable industries out there, and that’s precisely why I’m so confident in my decision to base my future around it. We’ve got to keep things interesting, right? With that, we give you or top picks of 2013. Check after the jump!

‘11 : Dillon Francis : Moombahton
‘12 : Flosstradamus : Trap Musik
‘13 : Disclosure : Deep House

2013 was unquestionably the year of Deep House; Disclosure, captains of the ship. These two brothers from the UK literally became superstars overnight. Suddenly everyone wants to go “vun deeper.” Aside from that, Arcade Fire, Daft Punk, Arctic Monkeys, Classixx, Hot Natured, Gesaffelstein and tons of others released quality albums. Flume pioneered an Australian scene. DirtyBird forged Booty Bass. LMFAO quit music, Daft Punk returned. Beyonce was Beyonce. Deadmau5 was depressed. Kanye West released stuff; nobody liked it. Miley Cyrus twerked; most people loved it. Linsday Lohan became a DJ. Everyone is a DJ.

A lot happened. Anyways, onwards!
