Rencontre Nocturne has continually remained the unsung hero that progressive house does not deserve. The anonymous Frenchman has been behind immaculate recreations of some of the most iconic edits throughout the previous half-decade and every December, he looks back on the previous 12 months with an end-of-year mix that converts his mashup skills into an hour-long thank you to everyone that’s supported the work he does out of the goodness of his heart.

Originally premiered in Swedish House Mafia’s Reddit-hosted Discord server, Rencontre Nocturne’s 2021 reflection would go down in electronic history if it was somehow experienced live. The hour-plus recap brings forth a combination of his favorite 2021 tracks, favorite 2021 mashups, and a scattering of timeless classics that results in what he aims to be “the most enjoyable mix possible.” Holding us over through 2021’s final week, Rencontre Nocturne opens with a remaster of the Swedish trio’s BBC Radio 1 edit of “Leave The World Behind” and “Nobody Else,” Kygo’s blend of “Sunrise” and “Paradiso,” the 2019 version of “It Gets Better,” “One” into Jacob Mühlrad’s stunning orchestral edit, and capping off with an unbelievable cross of “On My Way,” “I Am,” and “Save The World.”
