@TRANCEBLASTER will be sharing? Interested in your finals, as I am a somewhat out of touch with the underground this year more than I had hoped.
I am currently on a trip in Prague. maybe next week I will try to do a list.

btw I have unfollowed many 'NuTrance' labels in 2025 and returned to enjoying 'Deep House' again. so maybe I have missed a lot of releases too.

No worries, I have started counting today so can just include yours in final count.

Same for you @SaltAcidFatHeatAcid, been eagerly awaiting yours but don't see it in the count. If you want to sneak it in please do.
I got it in, sorry so late - life gets in the way . Still going to post my top 100 this week for the record. :)

Close Proximity is the artist of the year. I might like Alvar's album, but I've not yet had a chance to listen to it. I'm a DJ a most of the tracks featured in this list are ones I put out in sets most, apart from the Martinou tracks, which are clean as it comes.

I'd like to listen to your sets, where can I find them?
