 DJ Mag is a publication known to clubbers all over the world and while its reach spreads just about the whole of the earth it likes to remember where its founded. This year the magazine celebrates the talent there is to offer here in Britian with the Best of British awards...
Although it now operates in 16 countries worldwide, DJ Mag is a British-founded music magazine. Every year, as a counterweight to the international Top 100 DJs Poll (the world’s biggest publicly voted music poll with over 1 million votes in 2016), DJ Mag’s UK edition celebrates the homegrown talent on its doorstep with the Best Of British awards (educated by Point Blank).
The winners for this year’s Best Of British awards were announced last night at a ceremony at EGG London, highlights included Fabric collecting two awards for Best Large Club, and Innovation & Excellence (with Craig Richards also winning Best Resident). Fabric’s awards were presented by London’s first Night Czar, Amy Lamé. Carl Cox was awarded Outstanding Contribution, Annie Nightingale was voted Soldier Of The Scene, DJ EZ picked up Best DJ, The Warehouse Project was awarded Best Club Series, Dusky were chosen as Best Live Act, Lady Leshurr was voted 2016’s Best MC, while Best Live Stream went to Groove Armada. For the full list of 2016 winners please page 2.
The Best Of British awards shines a light on British talent that has made considerable waves over the past 12 months. Each year, DJ Mag’s editorial team choose the 5 nominees for each category before giving the UK’s clubbers and electronic music fans a chance to make their voices heard with a public vote.
The annual Best Of British awards ceremony featured performances from DJ EZ, Alan Fitzpatrick, Stanton Warriors, Joey Negro, PBR Streetgang, Solardo, Lauren Lo Sung, Denis Sulta, Lee Walker, Randall, Conduct Fixate w/ Killa P, SCAR, Sir Spyro w/Killa P, and the DJ Mag Allstars.
