Fluxblog 506: the best music of 2024, in one place

The annual survey mix is here, your ultimate guide to the year in music

The FLUXBLOG 2024 SURVEY is here! Every year I put together a massive playlist collecting the best and/or most notable music to come out through the year. For a while I was trying to make this exhaustive, but I’ve come to the conclusion that’s both impossible and too much for the playlist format. This is still an extremely long playlist, but one that is a little easier to digest. The sequencing is very focused on my own taste and personal experience for the first 200 songs or so, but there’s plenty of strong material distributed through the entire playlist.

Please note that this is essentially an expanded version of the Fluxcaviar playlist through this year, and if you like that playlist you really need to follow this one. I will be erasing that playlist and turning it into the rolling 2025 playlist in a week or so.

Do you know anyone who might be interested in this 2024 survey? Please forward it to them, or share it on your socials. I put a lot of work into this every year and would love for it to be useful to as many people as possible. I don’t think you can find a better curated or more thorough guide to the year in music anywhere else.

Here’s the opening run if you’re curious. I’m pretty happy with this sequencing.

This was made during the brief window of time when Cindy Lee’s album was on Spotify. Should it return, “Lockstepp” will appear in this playlist. The song is available in the YouTube version.
