Electronic Explorations - Mix of the Year poll
Posted: Sat Dec 06, 2008 4:52 pm
As Electronic Exploration's first birthday has been and gone, I thought there wouldn't be a much better way to celebrate Rob Booth's seminal show than to hold a vote on mix of the year (including those few that were pre-2008 and the most recent – in other words all mixes thus far are eligible).
Musically, nothing has been so essential to me in my life than this show, including Mary Anne Hobbs'. It's the only podcast / radio show I never fail to download and listen to in full without fail. I've discovered so much new music from listening to Rob's show; not just dubstep, but anything electronic that pushes the boundaries and that's what I love the most. I know a lot of you on here love the show as much as I do, and that's why Dubstepforum is the perfect place to host this vote. In fact if it wasn't for this forum I wouldn't even know about EE, so thanks to DSF aswell.
Although this is a vote on your favourite mix, the show wouldn't be what it is without Rob faultless and on-point selection. Sometimes he throws in some 'ageing' favourites, perhaps when or if he struggles to fill a 2 hour show every single week (and who could blame him!). Regardless, they're always welcome gems. On that point, let's not forget that he does this off his own back, unpaid and in the free time he gets when he isn't working for a living. That's when you really have to respect the guy for all the work he does. It might be a labour of love, but we're all reaping the benefits!
This might seem like a love letter to Rob
, but I've realised how much I really love this show, and would be genuinely upset if stopped anytime soon. So, anybody who listens to this show – full-time or otherwise – take a few moments to vote for your favourite mix and say a few words of appreciation (I know there's already an appreciation thread, but I thought it needed an anniversary edition. 
) It'll be tough to decide for you no doubt. God knows there's been some bloody good ones. Feel free to mention which mixes, however many, didn't quite make that final vote as well. Let's hope that this thread is popular enough for most of these to get at least one vote. There's not really been any bad ones.
I'll the vote off with Mojib. Possibly my most listened to mix out of them all, I really love it. Something a bit different than most of the show – hip-hop flavoured beats, downtempo and breaks – it's a real musical journey. Ones that nearly got top spot for me were Forensix(mcr), Marlow, Escapee Planes, Milanese, Dub U, Ranking Records, Nick Argon, BunZer0 & DJ Madd. But I'm sure everyone's votes will be wildly different to mine. (Let me know if I've missed any out in the poll).
And here's looking to the future Rob, whatever it holds. But most of all – long live Electronic Explorations – the best god-damn electronic music podcast on the planet.

:edit: Dammit, too many poll options (does anyone know what the max is). Sorry to anyone's favourite that's not included in the main list, I deleted a lot of non-dubstep . Obviously press other and state what it is.
