dang, it's like a reverse autechre concert

ah so that would be whenever I get around to covering the rest of the back catalog and do videos on Spanners and Silenced, both of those are 9/10 for me

actually now that I think about it, how tf is Jamie XX not mentioned here at all?? yeah it was 2024 but Ten Days came out a few weeks before In Waves and Jamie definitely has enough industry connections to have been an easy shoo-in

Fred winning for Ten Days of all things would definitely be the funniest result, nothing could do more to further my perception of that dude having all but been grown in a lab and groomed to appeal to this awards committee specifically

DJ DanceAlone - Acceptance
Khadija Al Hanafi - !OK!
Slikback - Attrition
8ULENTINA - Surpassing Disaster
NikNak - Ireti
Suzi Analogue - ONEZ
Loraine James - Building Something Beautiful For Me
also maybe try Ehua - Panta Rei or Disktr4k - Inner Body Movement? (NotRealMusic gave the latter an 8.5)
