Done

Best track is a killer to think of, too many.

Couldn't Resist posting my form here as well. If this is by any means not allowed, you may delete.

Best Producer : V.I.V.E.K.
Honestly, I couldn't choose between all the artists pushing edges right now, so I decided to take another approach and I elected the
guy that's doing the best traditional sounds right now. And in my Book, that's V.I.V.E.K. Call it an old-skool dubstep sympathy vote.
Also, Mala can't win every year!

Best New producer : Old Apparatus
I have a feeling many will forget these guys, but both releases and podcasts were 2011 material. Objekt gave them some competition
but I have to go with them. Probably some of the best music I've heard (and no longer definable as dubstep...)

Best DJ: Kode9
Based on his set at Dour Festival 2011. A mixed set that contained all stretches of the sound. Funky, dark, emotional, danceable....
Only one competitor for him but he'll be back later

Best Label : Hotflush Recordings
Many competitors this year. Planet Mu, Keysound, 50Weapons, Punch Drunk, Honest Jons... but I had to choose one in the end!

Best New Label : ManMakeMusic
Three releases and I liked (am liking) all of 'em. Can't really say who else did that for me this year!

Best Track : Peverelist - Sun Dance
Had to choose one out of a possible 15. But Peverelist remains one of my favourite producers ever. In this way I also give some credit to Hessle Audio and Punch Drunk...

Best Remix : Massive Attack - Paradise Circus [BURIAL remix]
There has to be a Burial track in there somewhere. It was either this or "NYC"...

Best Album: Sepalcure - Sepalcure
Only out for a couple of weeks so I've been listening to it intensely. There are about 5 other competitors (sully, Pinch & Shackleton, Kuedo...) but at the moment, I'll go for this one.

Best Mix : Electronic Explorations 177: Old Apparatus/Anstam
By far the best mix I heard this year. OA did three good mixes but Anstams section was also stellar.

Best 120-140 Producer: Darling Farah
I wanted to go for a fresh name, again about 5 others could qualify, but I went for up and coming talent.

Best 120-140 DJ: ONEMAN
Best set I heard all year, Oneman Untitled! 2011....

That were my thoughts. Ask me next week and they might just be different here or there...
