Here is the first ‘best of’ list of 2023, and while this has been a shit year for most of us – the music most certainly hasn’t been. In this list we present our favourite 15 releases within electro, techno, trance, EBM and related styles. Of course, genres are a bit malleable to say the least – but in general more analog/synthesizer based music will go in the other lists.
You will recognise the format from last year: here’s a gif with the cover art and below you’ll find links to the individual articles on each release.
