Happy New Year! Welcome to the final poll of 2025's best electronica, firstly a big s/o to the ever hard working @k👠th for holding the fort last month and helping to put together this month's playlist - there are still a few brave artists releasing new singles in the musical and cultural wasteland of the 'December release schedule' so big props to those who have released and made the playlist this month. Thank you to those who voted in the poll last month, we actually ended up with another tie between Danny L Harle, Oklou & MNEK's collab. “Crystallise My Tears” and Overmono's “Paradise Runner” - so there is a tie-breaker to decide this month.

In terms of this month, there is a wide selection of new & well established artists with modern club energy and emotionally charged electronica for you to enjoy! Plus some unexpected swerves, and also a cheers to Tourist who nods towards our artwork for ETotM on their new album artwork! Please vote for your 3 favourites. Thanks x

Thank you Doctor B and Kath for giving us this series for the whole of 2025!

The few times I stopped obsessively listening to FKA twigs over the past month, it was to put 'Memori' on repeat. Early contender for my most played song of January 🖤

Doctor B and Kath serving iconic tunes all year x

Voted for A.G. Cook, sim0ne and Tourist in the main poll, and gave Overmono their first in the tiebreak. Thanks Doctor B and Kath for running these polls throughout 2025!

My 3 choices;

Vitesse X – Memori

Tourist – In Unison

CRUSH3d – give it all

Tiebreaker;

Danny L Harle, Oklou & MNEK – Crystallise My Tears

@Doctor Blind will this be continuing for 2026? I saw from Jim's post in BJSC the other day that Kath has apparently stepped away from BuzzJack (hopefully not forever :'().

@Bror @blacksquare just wondered if one of you would like to take this over for a bit in Kath's absence? No pressure of course.
