r/electronicmusic's Best of 2020
Welcome to Best of 2020 voting!!

We've taken the top 5 or 10 from each category (25 in the case of Song of the Year and Album of the Year) and put them here for you to vote! Your job is to vote for a first, second, and third choice in each category!

The categories are essentially the same as last year and are listed below. The same goes for rules. For 2020 we made a number of changes - adding new categories to include Virtual Fests. Streaming, and expanding the Compilation album category to include Remix albums.

Picks will get 3 points for a 1st place vote, 2 points per 2nd place vote and 1 point per 3rd place vote.

PLEASE TRY AND LISTEN TO ALL OF THE NOMINEES! We know it's a lot to ask, and we know it's easier to just pick your favorite, but if you can... give the other nominees a chance. You might be pleasantly surprised and (as an example) find yourself voting for an artist that you're unfamiliar with!

Results will be posted after a few days of voting! Have fun!

**Best Album Art is in the next section** Please look at all of them before voting!

r/trap. For organizing Boost Tape and raising money for The Movement For Black Lives
David Guetta. Refreshed his style being co-pioneer of the "future rave" subgenre, raised over $1,5 million for charities on the Guinness record breaking live streams, during which he also urged everyone to get vaccinated against covid.
A. G. Cook. In addition to producing works such as Charli XCX's "How I'm Feeling Now", he put out his first two albums "7G" and "Apple", contributing over 3 hours of experimental electronic and hyperpop music. He's hosted three festivals through his PC Music label (Appleville, Pop Crypt, and Pop Carol), with all proceeds going to ACLU, Trussell Trust, Mermaids, and Black Cultural Archives. He's also made several festival appearances himself, most notably Secret Sky and Lavapalooza.
Dave Dresden. Led the way with the entire lockdown livestreaming, playing absurdly long sets day after day after day, helped other artists get set up with livestreaming.
GRiZ. In addition to dropping lots of music, GRiZ ran a 12 day virtual festival which raised over $125,000 for Seven Mile Music, a Detroit-based charity focused on supporting local youth with music, coding, and art education.
