7. Protohype & Two Fresh - Gutta

How could a track that dropped 24 hours ago make it on to our best of 2014 list? It's just that good. Please, it's Protohype and Two Fresh. You except anything less than the best? Didn't think so.

6. Apashe - Golden Empire ft Zitaa

Gripping vocals and nasty synths streak across a rough and tumble beat. This offering from Apashe made Kannibalen Records very, very happy. It's a wildly inventive take on trap that's from typical.

5. Aero Chord - Boundless

This Monstercat standout from 2014 made Aero Chord a star in the trap world. An all out, balls-to-the-wall BPM that makes DDR feel like mahjong flipped the script on producers dabbling in tepid trap. Get in the game or get out of his way. This is how you do it.
