Elektronauts Awards 2025

@tchu started a nice thing last year that I‘d like to make a tradition:

Contribute whatever you want to.

I‘ll start with: the award for best moderation goes to @avantronica and @LyingDalai :1st_place_medal:! I feel like this has been an especially challenging year, where your work was incredibly important to keep this the nicest and most helpful place on the internet.

Also shout out to anyone dedicated to the vibe of this forum who helped keep things civil and constructive. No need to name individuals here.

@metropolis_border and @boorch are getting a double award for building powerful multi sample and sub track tools and then sharing them with us - for free!

@Nils has single handedly transformed the image of Syntakt and managed to both coax some really great sounds out of it and to also build a fairly active community around the science labs.

Beyond Syntakt guy, he’s just an all round good dude and has been holding it down for the elektron users / elektronauts community for a long time.

I don’t know the exact award but something has to be said so I’ll say it: three cheers for Nils!

Obviously @shigginpit needs to be nominated again for his fierce efforts, problem solving skills and time spent trying to help users on this forum. No problem too small or too big! Thanks shigs, you are the best :heart:

And :+1: on the mods!

I’m not going to name anyone.

The award goes to all 'nauts out there.
For being the diverse community we are. For dedicating time and knowledge and shared wisdom. For all the likes and listening to sounds and tracks. For sense and nonsense. For admiration of tiniest details. For inspiration and support.

Let’s have another year together!
Love. :pray:

Great idea to keep the Awards.

I’ll give one of mine to @Azzarole for his integrity to this Community and his dedication to keep it the nicest gearhead Forum on the Net.

I’ll give mine for all amazing people in “Current sounds coming from your gear” for daily great tunes and inspiration, and just in general great vibe, getting into people’s way of thinking, passion and love towards music creation.

Obviously @shigginpit wins the memeposter of the year award! Thanks for all the chuckles, grins and laughs, much appreciated :raised_hands:

Thanks a lot! I would like to share the memeposter award with everyone else who contributes in those threads because it makes my life a lot easier when I don’t have time to scrounge up the freshest garbage for the rest of the racccoon crew. We make it work though!

Also you are not Florian. After hearing your drum patterns there are two different meme posters in the synth world

It’s like when you hear a jazz bassist make a jazz joke. Two different guys.

I’ll nominate @abluesky for a commitment award for his dedication to the TR-1000 thread (a machine I don’t even own)

And I also wanted to mention @Sleepyhead as that’s the Naut who’s music I’ve listened to most to outside of my forum activity.

That said, I love all you crazy bastards.

i wanna give major props and shoutouts to everyone in the Your Setups thread + special spotlight on @DonovanDwyer this year. y’all single handedly helped me shrink and refine my studio down to the bone and i’ve never made so much music in so little time.

i’ve said it before but this is the only forum i’ve ever joined where i feel comfortable enough to actually post and ask questions. crazy love + peace to everyone in the new year, God bless!

Aside from the obvious ones (Meme Master General Shigginpit), I’ll throw out one to @HoldMyBeer for always showing up and defusing heated topics with a light-hearted alcohol-related joke.

Also, @JooseBoks for (almost) always beating me on posting the latest episode to the Bad Gear thread. Seriously, I don’t know how you do it that fast.

Oh my, I was going to write about the same thing. @HoldMyBeer as the de-fuser.

Is this the same Nils?

Putting an @ will help reach the person.

Nils is in Norway and I believe that the website above is out of Sweden so probably not the same person?

My next Awards will go to all the supporters of Electronic music composer, especially the ones who support Elektronauts music.

I think it’s important, if you can afford it, to still buy Electronic music and not only listen to it on streaming platforms.
