Discussions about release formats are something I'm seeing more and more often on Twitter and other social media alongside with some general misconceptions of those, and as it has been always a bit unclear to me, too, I've decided to do the research and finally get educated about it!

The first roundup of the best submissions for 2020 is here! There was a lot of new names and first-time submissions as well as a lot of submissions from familiar artists, but eventually, I have managed to pick the usual six "best" beats again (I put those quotes there 'coz as ya'll know, it's highly subjective and to be...
