HITs that 2020 left us!!!

This year is almost gone! Well, music has been the only consistently good thing since March, right? Perhaps it would be unfair.  Doing a looking back to 2020 for the BEST tracks, albums and live shows of the year! Live you said? Yes, because thanks Corona we had a flood of live streamings all around the world. Pointed out Mousse T.'s Glitterbox Virtual Festival, Disclosure's Twitch & many more. Carl Cox's Mixcloud Cabin Fever had a massive support from his fellows and fans. Selecting from dozens of songs that captivated us in the last 12 months... Since the lockdown we might have gone on a festival anthem as Camelphat's hit Easier or an Ibiza's LOST season track such as Jamie Jones & Alan Fitzpatrick's GEM Sundancing. Don't worry mate! If Heavenly Rhythm exists is not just for discovering hits, but because so you can check this out:

Here is the definitive list of the year! Full of fresh music hits such as Fever's Dua Lipa & Angèle collab.  Listen it all! Enjoy mate!
