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 10’000 persons who opened the page with our “huge and long” poll, and a bit over 360 participants have finalized it. Most of participants were from USA, Israel, France, Netherlands, UK, Canada, Hungary, Germany, Russia and Denmark !
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 Saturday, 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. Also, as usual on every Wednesday we will continue to publish weekly news with releases and events.
Future of this project:
If you like this project, we would appreciate if you support us today or other moment. We are also open for ideas and collaborators to create the future together – contact us via contact page or fb.
We will gladly use your paypal, bitcoin or bank transfer donations to keep alive and to develop further and the psybient.org project website.

How can be Mobitex the best new artist in 2017 if he started his project already in 2014?
He uploaded tracks to youtube in 2014: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGhB8tP-2NI
And also started his facebook/soundcloud page in the same year: https://www.facebook.com/mobitex/posts/548385301933358
Also true to Metamorphosis, who has many 5 years old tracks on his soundcloud page, and his facebook page is at least 6 years old…
Please explain us!
Hi,
thank you for your comment !
These category vote results are a bit tricky because :
1) this question was optional
2) answers were in free text mode.
3) we didn’t had time / energy to check and search each artist one by one.
as a results => a lot of well established artists have been submitted. We tried to remove some of “older” ones for results, however as you noticed we still have some of “not so fresh” artists in results.
SO technically it is not “new” is more like “recent”.
Sorry for inconvenience, i don’t have magic solution to not have this situation.
If so, this is absolutely lazy and unprofessional blog writing. Which you can not do in your position in this scene. Do not do this if you do not have the time and energy that this work requires. Not to mention that this is still unfair with the real new artist of 2017 (no, i am not one of them). At least rename the article.
Pallagron ,
i appreciate your comment and constructive criticism ;)
i never said this is professional blog. i invite you to join me and spend some of your free time doing the verification of this kind or for other content creation. Honestly, i spend each day 4 hours to make this site running and to get to professional level i would need assistance.
Join and be volunteer or donate some cash and i will hire an assistant.
p.s. you can reach me for 1-to-1 discussions here https://www.psybient.org/love/about#contact
This Pallagron guy above is clueless, thinks this list should be some sort of thesis on psybient, gimmie a break. What you (Gagarin) are doing here with this content, the site and forum is fantastic. It’s a miracle we even have guys like you willing to dedicate time to the small and unknown genre of Psybient. Nothing but respect, keep it up!
