For FREE DOWNLOADS and an in depth review of all the songs and why I chose them, check out my blog post on the top electro for 2010.
http://sweetlittlebleeps.com/2011/01/17/top-20-electro-2010/
This list is something that I started doing in January, 2010, and have continued until now.
If you think I missed something please let me know by commenting below. It's becoming harder and harder to stay up on everything with all the new talent that is constantly surfacing.
Here is the criterion by which I have decided this years (and every years) best.
1. What does it bring to the genre as a whole? Does it utilize sounds that we've never heard before? How innovative is the song, does it spawn copy cats, or is it copying something already? (Admittedly, everything is copying everything else in dance music, but there are new ideas that effectively get pushed and I'm looking for those).
2. Dancehall playability. How well does it stand up on a big system, and does it make people want to dance? At the end of the day, that's what dance music is all about.
3. Bedroom playability. Is this a song that you would play in your house at a lower volume, and is it good for listening casually? I admit that dance music is meant to be played loud with lots of bass, but properly recorded songs will be able to stand up both in the club and be listenable in your headphones. I don't weigh this one as heavily as I do the other two, but if a song has both, they get pushed farther up this list.

@TheTreyDey Although separately the Mau5 and Wolfgang are both amazing, their collaboration was not up to the high bar that they have set for themselves. Not good enough for this list sorry.

Nice job bro! good selection I like almost every song.You should of put a skrillex song in here though like his song "Kill Everybody".

@OneTimeFoo Sorry dude. No disrespect to Skrillex or anything, but just because he's popular doesn't mean he's good. Production value for these songs is way higher than Scary Monsters EP imo. His stuff released in 2009 is pretty interesting and innovative though!
