R/Trance Official Top Tracks of 2023 Voting + Annual Survey
Post Body

Hello r/trance! It's that time of year again:

The Best of Trance 2023 and December Mix Competition

Enter Your Top 5 Here

State of r/trance Survey

December Mix Competition Information


So how does this work?

  • Glad you asked. Like previous years, we’re using Google Docs, tweaked in style for 2023.

  • You are still welcome (and encouraged!) to post your favorite songs or Top 5 here in this thread, but only songs entered in the “Enter Your Top 5 Here” Google Doc will count.

What limits are there in voting?

  • The only thing that is required is your top 5 tracks of 2023.

  • For consistency when counting votes, please format as "Artist - Track (Remix)." For example, in the entry space for Top Tune of 2023, I would write: Armin van Buuren – Space Case (Will Atkinson Washing Machine Remix)

What constitutes 2023?

  • The track must have been officially released somehow between January 1st, 2023 and December 31st, 2023. Earlier or later tracks will be invalid. Check Beatport or Discogs if you need to.

  • Songs that aren’t scheduled for any release until January 2024 are not eligible for voting. Even if receiving airtime currently.

  • "Official release" means a track was released via Record Label or Individual as stand-alone Track (via Beatport, iTunes, Juno, Physical Media, etc.), as part of an Artist CD or Mix Compilation, or release on Artist/Producer Website or Media Site, offered as Paid or Free Download.

  • "Non-Official" would be things such as "heard it on the radio show," previews, or tracks unavailable to legally acquire.

  • This rule means that Bootlegs that don’t have an official release are not eligible.

  • Due to the issues this has caused in the past, there is an Honorable Mention (optional) in the voting site. No restrictions here, so put your #6 song or #1 non-official 2023 release.

  • In case of multiple official releases, either date will work. So, if a song was released on a compilation in October of 2022 and as a full, extended mix in January of 2023, it will be allowed in this competition.

  • Remember that new remixes of old tracks will also count, but reissues are not allowed since these aren’t new tracks in 2023.

How are you counting the tracks?

  • 5 points will go to the top track, 4 points for #2, and so on. Different versions of the same track will be counted for that track (so two top choices of Estiva – Via Infinita and Estiva – Via Infinita (Marsh Remix) will give 10 points to Estiva – Via Infinita). When I post the results, I will highlight the most popular remix based on frequency occurrence.

What's with the second, completely optional, survey link?

  • I split the longer survey from the Top 5 so people don’t feel pressured in answering everything, or just exiting out from submitting their Top 5. Let me reiterate that the survey is completely optional, but on behalf of the mod team at r/trance, we would greatly appreciate it if you took a few minutes to answer some questions.

  • The survey goes over your thoughts on best (and overplayed) tracks, albums, artists, and shows of 2023. I also have a section dedicated to miscellaneous questions and a final page on your thoughts about this subreddit and its community. On behalf of the moderating team, I especially encourage you to fill out this last page. I personally will be reading every response and sharing the results with the other moderators of this subreddit.

  • In short, this is a subreddit-wide survey, as well as seeing what you all enjoyed this year outside of individual songs.

R/trance Official Top Tracks of 2023 Voting Annual Survey

Okay, here's how the the Top 5 and Survey are going to work:

  • Submit your responses by December 31st, 2023 by 11:59:59 PM PST. I will then tally up the results and post them on r/trance within 24 hours or so.

  • Simultaneously we’ll be running our December Mix Competition; click here for information

Sorry for the long post.

TL;DR Go vote for your Top Tracks by taking this Google Docs survey here. Fill out the rest (optional but highly recommended) survey here.

Ask if you have any questions. Comment your thoughts or songs if you'd like.

Cheers,
