Recommended Dose: Our 25 Favorite Dance Tracks Of 2016

Byron The Aquarius, Avalon Emerson and Jayda G released some of our favorite dance tunes of the year.

Recommended Dose is devoted to surfacing the world's most intriguing underground dance music, and our 2016 mix is no exception. The 25 tracks that make up this 2-hour mix came to us from small dance communities all over the globe. Berlin and Vancouver are obvious hot spots right now (and that's reflected in the mix), but there are developing scenes in Atlanta, D.C., Melbourne, Glasgow, Cairo and Tokyo that are generating truly memorable tunes.

Stream the mix here, then click over to our Best Music Of 2016 mini-site to check out the tracklist and hear individual cuts.

And as always, thanks for listening. Let us know what we missed: you can find us on Twitter at @Sami_Yenigun (Sami), @raspberryjones (Piotr) and @spotieotis (Otis).
