DUCK SAUCE - NRG (Official Video)

From the dynamic duo who brought us their huge tune, ‘Barbra Streisand’, the dance creatives unsurprisingly went on to make some equally uplifting bangers, and ‘NRG’ just had to make the list.

Sampling Melissa Manchester’s 1980s bop, ‘Energy’, Armand van Helden and A-Trak took it up a notch and stayed true to the title of the song.

A timeless dance tune has to be ‘Coma Cat’ and each time you hear it, it definitely makes you want to crank the volume up!

It’s been known as one of the biggest house records of the decade and after reloading it a few times, we’re sure you’ll agree.

Whether you’re working out, walking your dog or just want to give yourself something to vibe to while you’re cooking, ‘Haven’t You Heard’ is definitely a go-to to play.

It was only released in 2020 and it’s safe to say we’ve already had it on repeat a serious amount of times!

Solardo & Eli Brown – XTC

Another fairly new tune on the list, ‘XTC’ only dropped in 2019, but nevertheless it has been played during numerous DJ sets in what was our last music-filled summer.

You probably remember your last festival abroad where you listened to the new bop and each time you press play; you’ll definitely be transported to that moment!

Weiss – Feel My Needs

Weiss - Feel My Needs (Original Mix)

If you don’t feel energised after this, you’re doing it wrong!

Let’s be honest, ‘MyMyMy’ is an absolute dance classic and it has been bringing the high spirits to music-lovers since 2005.

As half of musical duo, Duck Sauce, Armand is definitely up there with one of dance music’s pioneers and after listening to this tune, you’ll be sure to agree!

Galantis – Peanut Butter Jelly

Galantis - Peanut Butter Jelly (Official Video)

When you hear ‘Peanut Butter Jelly’ you’ll no doubt think of the iconic music video that had people questioning why they weren’t dancing around supermarkets in the same way, and to be honest we’re still wondering why it didn’t become more of a trend!

The song and the music video both ooze good vibes so it’s no surprise why it made our essential list.

Otto Knows – Million Voices
