Here at Mixcloud we’re a massive bunch of music nerds, so gathering up a few mixes featuring the best of 2013 to share with you was a cheery little exercise.

Today’s music scene is exciting and varied yet sometimes confusing, so keeping in the spirit of Mixcloud, we’ve curated some of our top uploads featuring the best music of 2013 for your listening pleasure.

January Blues…

We thought it would be timely to kick off a couple of motivational mixes for the gym, given that we are in the dreary depths of January. So get off the sofa and don’t go abandoning your beach body resolutions quite yet!

Secondly, we would like to present to you the Hype Machine’s ‘Music Blog Zeitgeist 2013’. Having collected the most ‘favourited’ and blogged about tracks of 2013, the likes of CHVRCHES, Bondax, Flume, Haim and Classixx took to the ingredient list and each put their own spin on the most hyped tracks of the year. A selection of mixes not to be missed!

And here follows our selection of the best of the rest; with mixes spanning across ambient, future classical, house, techno, new jazz, experimental and everything in between… Enjoy!
