Actually Karma Moonshadow (who create the art) said that she wanted to represent what has defined 2018, both in monstercat’s year but also in a more global way. That’s why there is the 2 cats/lions, the Monstercat x Rocket league kind of symbol in the middle, the crab (obviously) and the rainbow stones, reminiscent of Infinity War, probably THE thing we will remember when thinking about this year (also I think that it adds some nice colors in an other way quite dark work, and show between the dark, heavy stuff of uncaged and the bright and festive of instinct)
At the start of the year, instinct seemed like such a strange and unexpected concept, but honestly it probably has more songs that I prefer over uncaged. The thing about instinct is the amount of songs that'll always have a place in my heart. A lot of the music here is honestly great to listen to and I truly get feels from almost every one of these songs. It was a great year for artists which both did and didn't make it on best of 2018 and a great year for Monstercat in general. Gotta say it though, I think Old friends was definitely the best release on Instinct this year, but I'm sure people are willing to debate that.
I’m kind of half and half about the split but I enjoy that the two audiences can have their own songs and that Conro and other artists have their place apart from the “hardcore” edm
Creating Instinct was the best decision Monstercat took since I listen to the brand(~March/14). What a surreal year it was, starting off with one of my favorites of this year in Didrick's Ready to Fly and ending off on this high of a note, whilst expanding the family with artists such as Aiobahn, CloudNone, Julian Calor, MEMBA and Stephen to name a few, also having some memorable names like Laszlo and Tristam coming back. It had it all! Here's for a wonderful 2019 full of amazing songs, new family members and more sick mixes!
It's kind of weird to see the same background for Instinct as well 😂. Kinda feels like it belongs in Uncaged. Nonetheless, it's amazing! Shoutouts to Karma Moonshadow for the art and the musicians for all the delightful songs this year! 🤗
Yea, maybe if they used some lighter colours like the instinct beige, it would've fit more. Doesn't really bother me though cuz all the songs that made the mix are amazing!

Listening to the best of uncaged 2018 makes me feel epic. But the best of instinct 2018 straight up makes me feel blessed to be here. Literal tears of joy. Thank you so much for the music, and the family. I'm so grateful for this digital home.
It’s been a long time since I have listened to “Take me there” god damn its good! Brought back a lot of good memories! That’s why we get hyped for these mixes, they bring memories that we might have forgotten about and fundamentally makes our days better! Thank you Monstercat for an amazing year! See you in 2019! ❤️
I just realized that while Crab Rave has been the most viewed release on Instinct, that song at 29:55 is also the most viewed release on Instinct with the visual moving bars!
Thank you Monstercat for splitting to two imprints. I have found it much easier to find the kind of label tracks I’m in the mood for at any given moment. This is a great mix of Instinct inspiration!
I personally cant decide…. Its the first year for me, that i listened to instinct and there are soo many good Producers! I liked the most Koven and KUURO ^^
Top 3 Questions by Tristam Not because of Tristam is just the lyrics and sounds Walk Thru Fire by Vicetone, what a way to bring back that Nevada Vibe Gravity by Laszlo the best song he has ever released
It was a great year for Instinct. These songs have enjoyed my soul and in stressful moments I can say that Monstercat: Instinct really helped me and always helps me to keep smile on my face. Love you all, happy holidays and I hope that 2019 will be an even better year for Instinct
Once again hands down 2018 has been one of the best years for Monstercat and EDM in general! Sadly out of the ten tracks I voted only two made it Nitro Fun - Time Goes By Noisestorm- Crab Rave Either way Two is better than nothing :)
Every song uploaded on this channel was gold, my favorite ones from this album are for sure "Gravity" and "Questions", followed by "Crab Rave" that I already mentioned in the Uncaged Album Mix. Can't wait to see what 2019 will bring to us. :D
Instinct has been a dream this year. Its really my style, and Ive loved nearly every track put out this year. Heres to 2018, the year of Instinct, and hopefully 2019 another great year of Instinct!
Here are my favorites that are on here, in a random order: Forward, Afraid Of The Dark, 2 Me, Questions, Old Friends, Hands Down, Friends Again and Crab Rave.
You know, the best thing at this year was that Crab Rave came out less than a month before my birthday, so it was like an early birthday present! Only thing I didn't like about it was that Julian Calor-Space Flute didn't make it. Otherwise, this is a perfect recap of how good Instinct has gotten, each song like a little gift, and this mix like an early Christmas gift. Thank you for coming to my TED talk
After listening to this all the way through. I gotta say that this one here and the Uncaged one were both very brilliant (since I also loved typical gaming-style edm music too than just the chill style of edm only). The Uncaged one was energizing and awesome (even better than the quality on Uncaged Vol. 4) while this one here is really good and amazing here, quite nearly as good as the quality on Instinct Vol. 1. :) It's too bad that Let You Go and Glide didn't make it on here (and Slow Motion was my favorite track by Slander as well), but I'm glad that Forward and 2 Me (though it had grown off of me) had made it on here. :)
Thank you guys so much for support
NO thank YOU for producing such amazing music!
On your first debut I was like, “Who is this guy?” And now I’m like “WHERES THE NEXT SONG!??!” Keep up the amazing work :))
Thank you for being the best future bass artist on the label (in my opinion lmao)
@@armisist3375 You mean Future House?
i'm not future bass thx
Now it’s our turn for a Mix and it’s an unbelievable one! Here’s to our first ever year-end compilation, and to many more to come!
Congrats, Instinct! So happy to share this year with you 😻
What a year! FWLR and Noisestorm blew me away, that's for sure! 😉

It's honestly a tough call between Gravity, The Journey and Take Me There for me.

I love how an April fools joke ended up being on the Best of 2018 comp, that’s actually amazing.
Highest voted Instinct song too, #2 song overall
It's been a great year Instinct, proud to be apart of it.
Can't wait for 2019, the split was a great idea.
I’m kind of half and half about the split but I enjoy that the two audiences can have their own songs and that Conro and other artists have their place apart from the “hardcore” edm

But there's everything from Instinct: Crab Rave and Mcat instinct Lion. Yes. We ha e that creepy Mcat Uncaged Logo, but also lots of Instinct Logos.
Yea, maybe if they used some lighter colours like the instinct beige, it would've fit more. Doesn't really bother me though cuz all the songs that made the mix are amazing!

Listening to the best of uncaged 2018 makes me feel epic.
But the best of instinct 2018 straight up makes me feel blessed to be here. Literal tears of joy. Thank you so much for the music, and the family. I'm so grateful for this digital home.
*Excuse me what the fuck*
What a year
The real rewind
Crab Rave should have been in YT rewind. ;-;.
maybe it would have gotten better reviews
No. It really shouldn't have.
It has fortnite plays in it. Then crab rave deserves to be in youtube rewind too.
RUclips rewind is so bad I'm glad crab rave isn't in it. PewDiePie's version of RUclips rewind has it
What an amazing first year for instinct!
It’s been a long time since I have listened to “Take me there” god damn its good! Brought back a lot of good memories! That’s why we get hyped for these mixes, they bring memories that we might have forgotten about and fundamentally makes our days better! Thank you Monstercat for an amazing year! See you in 2019! ❤️

43:13 Tristam - Questions. Favourite song from Instinct this year.
for me it's between Gravity or Questions, but hard to choose when they're both 10/10
@@KingFPS_ Gravity was pretty good
only timestamp that matters
I personally cant decide…. Its the first year for me, that i listened to instinct and there are soo many good Producers! I liked the most Koven and KUURO ^^
THE ONLY REAL SONG ON THIS WHOLE LIST IS THE CRAB GOD
Still better than this year's rewind
Still one of the best albums ever done in Monstercat history
I'm actually impressed to see that None Trick Pony made it on here after-all. :)
Man, I really wish Reconcile was on here. It was one of my favorite songs of the whole year.
Top 3
Questions by Tristam
Not because of Tristam is just the lyrics and sounds
Walk Thru Fire by Vicetone, what a way to bring back that Nevada Vibe
Gravity by Laszlo the best song he has ever released
It was a great year for Instinct. These songs have enjoyed my soul and in stressful moments I can say that Monstercat: Instinct really helped me and always helps me to keep smile on my face. Love you all, happy holidays and I hope that 2019 will be an even better year for Instinct
Once again hands down 2018 has been one of the best years for Monstercat and EDM in general!
Sadly out of the ten tracks I voted only two made it
Nitro Fun - Time Goes By
Noisestorm- Crab Rave
Either way Two is better than nothing :)
My favorite album
Oh yeah, and I also have my Mcat Instinct Vol. 2 T-Shirt on right now while listening through this. :)
ZappingHero Full support!
every song from MC:instinct have to be in this playlist
Every song uploaded on this channel was gold, my favorite ones from this album are for sure "Gravity" and "Questions", followed by "Crab Rave" that I already mentioned in the Uncaged Album Mix.

Everyone loves Crab Rave so much they put it in the logo for 2018 :)
Love the choice between Instinct and Uncaged. I go back and forth based on my mood
Same here actually.
Been waiting for this all year
Now *this* is epic
that was an incredible year for monstercat ! thx to all the team
love every single song in this mix! it was a good year!
An amazing first year with monstercat instinct. Awesome releases and content. Excited for futher tracks here
Just wow, WOW! Amazing compilation of amazing track by amazing people.
29:27 Brings the feels
Here are my favorites that are on here, in a random order: Forward, Afraid Of The Dark, 2 Me, Questions, Old Friends, Hands Down, Friends Again and Crab Rave.
I was really hoping to see keepsake in the tracklist his release was by far my favorite this year.
You know, the best thing at this year was that Crab Rave came out less than a month before my birthday, so it was like an early birthday present! Only thing I didn't like about it was that Julian Calor-Space Flute didn't make it. Otherwise, this is a perfect recap of how good Instinct has gotten, each song like a little gift, and this mix like an early Christmas gift.

I love Monstercat! And Instinct is so much fun! :)
I died listening to this because it is so amazing that u did this
46:43 that is some interesting transition, lol.
OMG THESE TRANSITIONS ARE SICK
let you go by savoy is definitely missing, one of my fav tracks of this year along with afraid of the dark and hang up
Same
Its HERE! Congrats Instinct, you did an amazing job this year, I can't wait to see what you have in store for next year
Monstercat best of 2018,2017,2016,2015,2014,2013,2012,2011.
10:38 WE DID IT
I waited all afternoon for this!!😊😍😍
Disappointed, no Play Me Like a Violin, no Shadows, no Let You Go, No Mad For You. Basically the best tracks of 2018.
I agree with you on Let You Go, I loved the style and melody on that track.
Wooo! 2018 has been an amazing year. Here's to some new tunes in 2019!! 🎶
This mix is perfect for a weekend. Thanks guys!
*If Crab Rave didnt make it on here i probably would've died*
I swear my phone is vibrating every time I get to 32:29 Its gotten me every time so far.
God, I'm impressed!
What a year ❤
Still 100% support the split since 2017.

Heaven is real ❤️😊
goodbye 2018
hello 2019!
10:10 guess what song made it here everyone! :D
Who'd've thought?
I'm loving Shiawase, issa bop.
Forward is sooo good!!
All eyes on me was the best conro song this year and i am extremely upset its not on this album
for a long time the song representing Conro actually was "All Eyes On Me", but it somehow got changed in the last hours of voting
@@libra_v3 that sucks, i loved that song so much it made me fall in love with his music
10:10 first thought i was dreaming
Love all the jams!!
The best mix of 2018
A solid year
at first i didn't see Crab Rave in the description and i freaked out xD
What a way to begin and end the mix! Keep things lit on the way, Instinct 🔥
Also look at that crab crown 🦀
Instinct shall remember the Crab.
Instinct....just getting better and better with age!!
Such a good mix
Incredible Mix! Love it!
10:38 When Monstercat released the Best of 2018 mix
Happy Crab rave and shiawase made it!!!
About halfway there. I'm on my phone right now. This is also me ZappingHero speaking too.
a little bit sad that my bois hyper potions didnt make it, but good mix nonetheless
Ralsei Agreed. I need my happy music
@@MoonlitRose101 Wasn't it because they self released moboroshi?
I miss dream in colour
Sonic mania plus sure ain’t a bad substitute
Mix is underrated
This is amazing, way better than monstercat ucaged mix imo.

I can proudly say
*I agree with your every pick lads*
