October 2024 results:

 

 

Colombian singer-producer Ela Minus fought off fierce competition from MRD and BICEP to take the October crown with 'BROKEN', the lead single from her upcoming second album, DIA, out in January. The track which finished top 10 in the recent BJSC, finds Ela combining a heartfelt classic singer-songwriter style with an electronic four-on-the-floor beat.

 

Meanwhile Floating Points who made one of the best electronic albums of the year won the September tie-break, beating Four Tet and Ellie Goulding by 1 vote.

 

Ty to the posters for their suggestions via PM and in the thread, I've tried to squeeze as much of them in as I could. There's a particularly ravey section from Daniel Avery to Geo22, and the transition from James K to Juicy Romance is quite something :lol:

I can't recall how this has run in 2024 but if we had 12 consecutive Tracks of the month we could have a poll to determine the best one?

It's a 6-way tie.. does anybody who has yet to, want to vote and help split out an overall winner?

I think Kath and I thought we'd compile a voting list for 'Electronic Track of 2024' with the 20 winners of the weekly polls plus the Top 3 from each of the 6 monthly polls and then ask everyone to DM with their Top 5/10 from this list - probably best if that's me as Kath is a bit busy at the mo.

I can do if you don't mind giving me a few months hours - I promise I plan to get back to voting in these this year :whistle:

Sounds good. I'll make sure to take part as I have all year!

Voted and managed to break the tie, hooray (I was half expecting to accidentally make it even more tied :lol:)

 

Unsurprisingly Daniel Avery was my fave, also voted for Pretty Girl and Ams (excellent vibes to kick off the list from an artist I'd not heard of before).

Everything down to DJ HEARTSTRING feels worthy of my shuffle playlist from first impressions x Himera had good production but let down by the vocals being a little grating. I didn't dislike any of the other songs but did unfortunately find the salute and Real Lies songs a bit disappointing compared to their usual quality (and especially with the Jessie Ware collab on the former I had quite high expectations oop).
