Your essential guide to the very best dance and electronica from the year 2014!

Pete rewinds it back to the year in dance that was 2014 with releases from the likes of Duke Dumont, Route 94, Patrick Topping, Caribou, Disciples, Secondcity and more. Plus, there's a tribute to the Godfather of House Frankie Knuckles who we sadly lost in 2014, and there's a live set from Gorgon City - recorded at Radio 1's Big Weekend in Glasgow.

Produced by We Are Grape for BBC Radio 1 Dance.
