1. The worst track of the year - Usually I'm inclined to pick a S3RL track. Friendzoned, maybe? However, since it was technically released in 2013 and claims to be hardcore, I'll go with Do You Like Jungle (Breeze VIP), aka "don't like half-assed dubstep? you must not like hardcore either".
2. The most disappointing drop of the year - Fracus & Darwin - Landed. It seems like a major theme of 2013 was building up a ton of energy and then just sort of letting it fizzle out when the kick comes back in.
3. The most disappointing producer of the year - Douglas. Didn't do much, and what he did do felt really flat.
4. The biggest bitch of the year - Haven't paid much attention to hardcore drama so I can't answer this one. Breeze seems like a good answer.
5. The most overrated producer/dj of the year - Doesn't seem like anyone gets any respect here, really. I'm inclined to go with Kurt & Riot because I'm just not getting the whole powerstomp thing.
6. Outstanding contribution - Who else, man? Breeze.

Now I know people shouldn't comment on other people's vote (but then again I already have...)
2. I can agree that this track could be much better, but compared to my vote, it kinda redeems itself just arount the beginning of the outro (but it could've been better executed).
3. Haven't heard much of Douglas this year, but I have never been a fan of his stuff, so I couldn't vote for him.
5. I was expecting to like Kurt more than Riot on their This is Powerstomp album, but I was amazed tat Riot made more tracks I liked that Kurt. I havent bought the album, but I will definitly buy the tracks I like when the digital release happens (if it does, I dont know).

Most disappointing drop - I can't think of its name but it is a Klubfiller track - builds up beautifully then turns into one of them shitty minimal house type tracks that loses all energy - seriously, what is the point of this??

Yes we have a winner for most disappointing drop, not just for this year, but all time. That could have been a great tune and I'm surprised nobody has remixed it yet.
Its like having a wank and your mum walking in just when your about to shoot!

by the looks of it, seems like Gammer still reads these forums (considering he uploaded it just 1 hr ago).
Edit: oh sorry, I meant DJGammmer

If you're into that kind of music, fair enough, personally it bores the shite out of me. The minimal drop wouldn't be so bad if it picked up like it does in that 'Gammmer' edit, rather then simply going nowhere til the next breakdown. I just can't get my head round why folk produce tracks with brilliant uplifting and energetic buildups, then seem to think "tell you what, lets have a 4x4 kick drum for 32 bars with nothing but a few blips and bleeps, then repeat.
This is what passes for dirty, filthy, disgusting music these days?

I think its just a crappy Hard House track that tried to leech a bit of money from Hardcore by being sped up. Shame on Klubfiller.

From the link:
MIXMAG TUNE OF THE MONTH (October 2012)
"Andy Whitby, with his main partner-in-crime Klubfiller, have pushed Hard-dance in directions it may never have gone. 'Bakkoff' is 'Blam' taken up a few notches, coupling a house riff with a disgusting and indescribable main section. It's inventive and well produced and will go down a storm with the kids!"
