It is hard to imagine electronic music experiencing a stranger and more unsettling year than this one; only something like the collapse of the internet, or the electrical grid itself, might inflict even more damage than the pandemic has wrought on dance music\u2019s customs, economy, and morale. But the music has always been among the most utopian of art forms, and in the absence of clubs, this year\u2019s most visionary electronic musicians kept us dancing in our kitchens and our living rooms and our minds, dreaming of a day when we might finally come together once again. Encompassing singles, EPs, albums, and compilations, from artists as varied as Autechre, R\u00f3is\u00edn Murphy, Jayda G, Theo Parrish, and Lyra Pramuk, these were the records that made isolation bearable. (The following list, sorted alphabetically, includes albums and tracks found on Pitchfork\u2019s main year-end<\/a> tallies<\/a>, as well as additional entries that did not make those lists but are just as worthy of your time.)<\/p>\n
