DJ Mag Best of British awards 2020 : nominations announced!

This year is DJ Mag‘s 14th annual celebration of the UK talents! Indeed, the Best Of British awards is a chance to shine a spotlight on the homegrown talent that continues to place the UK scene at the forefront of electronic music.

The situation being very difficult because of the pandemic, forced them to change their habits. They won’t be hosting their usual annual awards show and party at London’s Steelyard, due to sanitary reasons. Instead, they will be rolling out the winners as part of a digital event in December! They also revised the awards to reflect the nature of this unique year for electronic music.

Voting for the DJ Mag Best of British awards is open now until 25th November.
