It’s been a year of quiet successes for electronic fans. Unlike previous years when artists like Aphex Twin, Daft Punk, and Flying Lotus so clearly reigned supreme, 2015 was a year which saw independent hitmakers (Jamie xx) and experimental favorites (Arca) run up against underground upstarts (DJ Paypal) and classic acts making modest resurgences (the Orb, Squarepusher, the Chemical Brothers) without any undeniable, year-defining, best of the best records.
