Reddit's EDM Subreddit Release Best of 2017 Results

Reddit's biggest dance music community, /r/edm has just released the results of their annual best of polls. This year they've covered a huge amount of genres, with users voting on five categories in each one. Awards are handed out for best artist, best original track, best remix, best album and best mix/set.

The community is primarily US-focused so we're sure some of our UK readers might take umbrage at some of the winners in certain categories, but all in all it's not a bad list, considering the controversy that surrounds all music awards.

You can read the winners in full below, along with a number designating how many artists were nominated in each genre.
