Reddit’s Best Music Of 2018 As Voted By R/EDM

Reddit is known for being one of the best spots on the internet, for literally, everything. It is a true melting pot, and a place where both die-hard, and casual fans can come together. When it comes to the world Dance Music this no different. It is a hotspot for AMA‘s from our favorite producers, as well as a haven for the freshest music, & big news. As of late, we’ve seen Reddit compose its own “Top 100 DJ’s List”, as well as a “Hype Thread“, which helped to shed light on our favorite artists’ upcoming albums.

More recently, the Subreddit r/EDM got together to vote for the 2018 edition of the “Best of EDM Awards!“, and a lot of the results are just as we expected. In the moderator’s own words:

“Over the past two weeks, the community [has] voted on what it thinks is the best music from 2018. We’ve tallied your votes, and are pleased to announce this years winners!”

In a fashion similar to the 1001Tracklists ‘A State Of Dance Music 2018’ report, the r/EDM results cover almost every genre imaginable. From Bass House to Big Room, Techno, and Pop, they’ve even included Dubstep & Riddim. 

Each genre is further broken down by Best Artist, Best Original Tracks (Solo AND Collab), Best Remix, Best Album/EP, as well as Best Set/Mix. We’ve highlighted some of the big winners below, as well as some of the years best music too. For a more in-depth breakdown of the results, be sure to check out the original post here, have fun!
