It’s the return of the optimistically titles Reader’s Choice award.
Just to be clear, this isn’t the result of a poll, and the criteria is pretty limited, but it is a nice compilation of what was popular on electronic rumors this year. It’s a run down of the most popular downloads we’ve hosted on the site. Of course this leaves a lot of track out in the cold. track that were streaming only/non-downloadable, tracks that we were requested no to re-host for download, tracks that were only downloadable in exchange for a Facebook ‘like’, a Tweet or an email address, videos we posted, or tracks that didn’t make a post at all. But of all the track we re-hosted for download these were the most clicked on.
New Jersey based SynthWave producer TEEEL allowed us to premiere his reMix of fellow NJ resident, singer/songwriter, Ian McGlynn back in May. It’s a lush, synthy, track that boarders on Chillwave at times and seemed to go down really well with readers. Which is no surprise as it’s a passionate piece of electronic bliss.
