Here are the results from our feeder sound 2023 poll series focused on minimal techno and microhouse music.
In 2023, the pulse of the minimal techno and microhouse music scenes resonated through five definitive polls that invited electronic music enthusiasts all over the world to participate. Here, we reached out to the collective voice of the public to define this vibrant musical domain.
The voting phase from our deep exploration of electronic music was based on this year’s extended lists of Mastering Services, Live Acts (Part 1 & Part 2), Record Stores, Electronic Music Festivals in Europe and Record Labels (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5).
From selecting the finest mastering services, acknowledging the energy of inspiring live acts, recognizing the sanctuaries of vinyl collectors, pinpointing European festivals that draw thousands of participants and celebrating the driving force behind publishing musical innovations in the form of record labels, each poll carved a path to the preferences and choices of an international community deeply related to the rhythms and textures that define this distinct culture.
Here are the results from each poll, captured in a list of the first 10 most-voted options.
