Friends, Chillout Lovers,

Thank you for your participation in this year’s poll ! Today, we are happy to start publishing the “best of the year” community poll results. In this occasion we express our gratitude to readers, labels and artists that supported the poll. In order to have more accurate and objective results, we did our best to have as many participants as possible, but we also understand that some of you didn’t have time or desire to participate. We had more than 2000 persons who opened the page with our “huge and long” poll, and a bit over 300 participants have finalized it. Gratitude!

In any case, we think that the poll results will be interesting for many of you, and we would like to ask you to share this page and our future posts with your friends in social media to help spread the word about new artists, new music and to support our small but growing scene.

During the next 3 weeks, on every Monday, Thursday and Friday, we will publish a new “best of” post, each one dedicated to a poll nomination. You are welcome to visit our home page regularly and visit our forum if you wish to discuss the results.

Future of this project:

We started this project in 2013, since the beginning it has been non-commercial, we are relying on your donations and we are open for a “related” sponsorship and advertising (but we don’t have a demand).

In 2016 we have received 143 euros of donation from our supporters, which is much less then we spend on web site hosting and maintenance.

My desire and dream is to upgrade hosting and optimize website to make it faster and if possible to completely rebuild it to make it more interactive, more modern and to do this we need to invest money into this. If you like this project, please support us today and/or later. We are also looking for ideas and collaborators to create the future together – you can express your ideas in forum or contact us via contact page or fb.

We will gladly use your paypal, bitcoin or bank transfer donations to develop and maintain the psybient.org project website.
