While 2016 might have been a dumpster fire of a year in every other aspect, music was the one part of our lives that we could rely on to make everything okay again. With key albums dropping from the likes of Kaytranada, Childish Gambino, Anderson .Paak and many more, each with a plethora of singles, there was certainly plenty to choose from.

Even though our local artists may have been the ones making a lot of that amazing material, that makes them experts on what music made us feel inspired, excited or just plain turnt up. That's why we had to get them to collate their top 10 tracks from the whole year – so scroll down and check out what Ivan Oooze, Remi & Sensible J, Peking Duk and more chose as the best of the best in 2016.
