1. "Addicted to You" by Avicii

I actually heard Avicii's remix of his own song, "Addicted to You" on his album, True: Avicii by Avicii, before I heard the original. While the EDM element of the original arrives once the chorus hits, I love the remix's piano-backed beats throughout the entirety of the song. Avicii's ability to pair electronica with Audra Mae's raspy folk vocals makes "Addicted to You" a unique -- and of course, addicting -- track. Hearing Avicii play the song live in the 18,000-capacity Barclay's Center in June was one of my favorite moments of his True Tour concert.

2. "Ceilings" by Local Natives

"Ceilings," a song inspired by "not being able to fall asleep," has become my go-to romantic, indie alternative song. I love listening to the live acoustic version -- especially this one -- for the band's raw vocals, dreamy guitar riff and harmonies that give me chills every time I hear it.

Although the song was released on their 2013 album Hummingbird, I found this remix released by Kasbo nine months ago that completely transforms the song into a dynamic, future-trap track with a killer drop that I can't stop bobbing my head to.

3. "Ease My Mind" by Skrillex

"Ease My Mind" is one of my favorites off of Skrillex's 2014 album Recess, since it deviates from his signature hardcore, Transformer-like sound; well, at least in the beginning.

There's something both calming and intense about the Niki & The Dove's vocals and the breathing effect as the song begins, but given it is by Skrillex, the song explodes into an Egyption-like dubstep that's simply gold for an intense workout.

While Jai Wolf's version is smoother than the original at times, GTA's remix adds a fun, more colorful section at the three quarter mark. Because both versions were so awesome, Skrillex even released a special Ease My Mind v Ragga Bond Remixes EP in late November.

4. "Faded" by ZHU

With "Faded," which is nominated for Best Dance Recording at the 2015 Grammy awards, ZHU has made waves in the electronic music scene this year, despite his mystical anonoymity that is slowly being cracked. I chose ODESZA's remix as my favorite because of its intense introduction and awesome bass addition. Lido's remix adds a smoother and more sensual feel, as opposed to the original's more spooky aura. If you're looking for deeper house renditions, listen to the remixes by TÂCHES and Amtrac.

6. "Jaigantic" by Tora

Tora is definitely one of my new favorite artists of this year. Their music is calming and spacious, with a touch of indie electronica that completes their seductive, luxurious sound. When I heard that Galimatias, one of my new favorite producers, remixed "Jaigantic," it just made my day. While the original is more moody and intense, Galimatias makes the track an eclectic, charming and picturesque, making it one of my favorite collaborations of the year.

7. "Latch" (feat. Sam Smith) by Disclosure

Here's another song that went viral this year -- one that skyrocketed Disclosure's popularity and Sam Smith's rise to fame. I admit that when I first heard the song, I thought it was a bit too foreign, since I had never heard Disclosure's retro, post UK 2-step garage beats that I would soon learn to love. Now, "Latch" is one of those songs I never really get tired of hearing.

If you're looking for a catchy alternative, one of my favorite mashup producers, The White Panda, released "Cooler Than Latch." It combines the vocals of "Latch" with the background music of Mike Posner's 2010 hit "Cooler Than Me."

Here's Part II, since having so many SoundCloud links in the first post created errors on mobile.

8. "Make You Feel" by Alina Baraz & Galimatias

When I first heard this song, I felt like I discovered a whole new genre of music. With Alina Baraz's silky voice and Galimatias's soulful, deep nocturnal sounds, the two make the perfect duo. They've released a few more singles together, so if you like "Make You Feel," you'll love these singles too.

VESTIGE's remix is a bit more fast-paced and higher-pitched, but I love his version for its chillwave quality while maintaining the original song's sensual vibe.

9. "Say My Name" (feat. Zyra) by ODESZA

So many artists on SoundCloud have remixed this song, and following its popularity, ODESZA even held a remix contest (see winners here). You can listen to the original song here, since SoundCloud didn't allow me to embed the song, but below are my two favorite remixes by GANZ and Hermitude, who add summery synth patterns and trap elements to this fun, electric track.

10. "A Sky Full of Stars" by Coldplay

It's going to be hard for me not to include a Coldplay song in any "favorites" list, given that they're one of my all-time favorite bands (my favorite album being Parachutes). I was actually not a huge fan of "A Sky Full of Stars" when I first heard it, because I didn't think the lyrics were particularly moving, or the melody all that original.

But after a few more listens, and learning that this feel-good song was a collaboration between Coldplay and Avicii, I garnered a respect for the band's ability to pair Avicii's EDM production with their distinctive Coldplay sound.

Instant Party!'s remix is a bit more fast-paced, with a better build-up and an awesome trap influence.

If you're not a fan of trap, you might enjoy Hardwell's more popular EDM version.

11. "Stay High (Habits)" by Tove Lo

As you can see, I've really enjoyed this hit by Tove Lo this year. The most popular remix is by Hippie Sabotage -- it was actually the first version of the song I heard -- but I've collected a number of remixes of this addicting song throughout the year.

Because of its repetitive lyrics, this song was great to study to throughout the semester. The remixes by Hippie Sabotage and M3H are the smoothest, while Keys N Krates, The Chainsmokers, Myles William and Osen make awesome party or workout EDM renditions. Oliver Nelson's remix added a nice funky groove to the beat, making it perfect for the summer.

12. "Stay With Me" by Sam Smith

Sam Smith is one of my favorite new artists of the year. He was also the first artist I've ever met in person, and I can't wait to see him perform in January with one of my best friends. Especially with "Stay With Me" becoming a radio hit, I love that Sam Smith is bringing the blues back into the mainstream. I was also astounded to learn in this CBS Sunday Morning interview that the chorus is actually Sam Smith's voice in about 40 different takes, not a gospel choir.

My favorite remix is Prince Fox's that features chill trap and a future bass sound. Check this one out for another high-energy future bass version, or this one out for a funky alternative.

13. "Tennis Court" by Lorde

"Tennis Court" was released off of Lorde's 2013 debut album Pure Heroine. But with more than 17.5 million plays on SoundCloud, Flume's remix of the song, released in April 2014, made me gain a whole new appreciation for the song. He adds a whole new dark and almost sinister dimension that I just could not stop listening throughout the year. This is one of the reasons why I love a good remix -- it can transform a familiar melody into a whole new different genre.

14. "Two Bodies" by Flight Facilities

"Two Bodies" is the one of the most gorgeous songs I've heard this year. I heard the remixes before I heard the original, and I must say that I love Darius' (below) and Lido's remixes the most, since they really showcase Emma Louise's velvety voice and the seductive nature of the song.

BONUS: "Tell Me" by RL Grime

RL Grime is one of my favorite trap artists of all time. His drops are insane -- like in "Trap on Acid" -- and "Tell Me" is another song that never fails to get me pumped up. Baauer's version is an awesome alternative -- I hope to hear a longer version released soon.
