updated ;)

[groelle]

updated ;)

nice one.

but you can see where that absys and duster for best newcoming producer comes from now, cant you? ;)

nothing to embarrasing imo tho. netsky is nominated for his remix work and the rest is more or less as expected.

could have been worse

[WhoSayReload?]

Told you it would all be Hospital, what wankers vote for this honestly?

[Harry3]

didnt no more idols have like 2 dnb tunes in it?

also born 2 rise & everyday can fuck off, where the hell is Poon?

[d-low]

might as well post X-Factor results.

[DeeGun]

^^ thats more interesting tho I guess

[Forau]

Who the fuck votes for this shit? Netskys pretty much nominated for everything, hospital records is all over the place and camo & krooked - Run Riot is nominated for best track..... its DRUM AND BASS awards not SHITTY DUBSTEP awards. What cunts nominated this bullshit?

[skankandbass]

Hmm some are on point some are just random, these were my votes: http://i44.tinypic.com/rvefqw.png

[Mikkandro]

The best track category is a big joke.

[Fallen.GeMiNi]

Best track category is so off the grid (no Echoes, no Protection, no BREAK TUNE FFS!). Best newcomer - no Foreign Concept in here, you're joking, right? Best album no comment on first two nominees, where the fuck is Stonehead EP? They should rename it, Hospital Records awards would be much more appropriate.

[Multeeplex]

Best album no comment on first two nominees, where the fuck is Stonehead EP? They should rename it, Hospital Records awards would be much more appropriate.

So true! I also voted for Protection and Stonehead EP... Two very outstanding releases!

[Mikkandro]

Protection, Ohrwurm, Stomp, No!, What's Wrong, Micro Organism, No Fear, Movin Fast, Echoes, Magic Hour, Seven Segments, Ultra Clean, Lofar, Hit the Ground, Do You I Wanna, Paulista Dub, Food Fight, Proteus, Cracker, Keeping Me, Crystalline, Broken Dreams, BTKRSH, Set It Off Remix, Alien Groove, Nausea, Dreadnaught, Hot Love, Tap Ho, Not Just Yet, First Contact, Androids, Transmission, Reflections, Captured In Time, Detroit Is Bleeding Remix, Garden Calibre Remix, Rolling Sideways, Friendly Intentions, Swordfish... the list goes on further

Sooooo many sick tunes, and people have chosen fucking Born To Rise, Run Riot, Every Day Remix and that Bar fight tune which I didn't even know, but certainly not a top 5 tune of a year.

[Fallen.GeMiNi]

Especially Everyday remix is just pure joke.

[Thin and crispy]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pWZRJd4z8o

can;t argue with that tho

[WhoSayReload?]

Poon's got to be up there man, instant reload in any rave. Could have done worse than make Shimah - Swordfish or Electrostep tune of the year imo.

[Fallen.GeMiNi]

Well Shellshock is definitely a really sick tune, but it was released almost more than year and a half ago ^^

[InfuZoria]

it is not what I'm thinking of. So... unpredictable.

[Mikkandro]

Well Shellshock is definitely a really sick tune, but it was released almost more than year and a half ago ^^

He meant for the video category. Shellshock should win that one!

[Fallen.GeMiNi]

Aaah, sorry, my mistake :) Yeah, that or Hold Me (no matter how many of you might hate this tune, the video is fucking sick).

[Attire]

Aaah, sorry, my mistake :) Yeah, that or Hold Me (no matter how many of you might hate this tune, the video is fucking sick).

It's not even D&B lolz.

Failawards.

[Fallen.GeMiNi]

Tru dat.

[stijnx]

They seem to have taken a real liking with Belgium! Athys & Duster for best Newcomer Producers + best track and Trix as best venue


oh and netsky :jerkit:

[yogi23]

haha best track category is such a joke. we all know cheese is going to win them all

[Jwood27]

barfight is a good tune but not track of the year.

thing is heads know this isn't representative of what actually is tune of the year, frankly we should start our own awards on here just to see what the general consensus would be - these are obviously mostly a joke

[DjTiesticles]

:lol:

Always guaranteed a good laugh with these awards. Surely nobody in the scene take these results seriously

[Attire]

Do it.

[evermind]

I don't really understand why they put Hold Me in there... It's Dubstep (and I think the video is horrible, don't really like the song either but well that's my opinion)

They should filter out (as in not pick even if it gets a lot of votes because the artists are very popular) albums that aren't actually Drum & Bass, No More Idols has like what... No Problem & End Credits on it that are actual Drum & Bass tunes (and they're both at least one or two years old). I also think they should not allow compilations in the best album category... Like last year Nightlife 5 was nominated. Obviously it was a great compilation with big tunes and 2 great mixes on it but it's just not an album! It's a shame that only two of the nominees are actually proper albums. Artists work hard and even though winning awards is not what they are after I think it's nice that they get some recognition if they do a good job. Brookes Brothers album or so could've be nominated.

Netsky doesn't fit in the best DJ category if you ask me... But well it's a public vote and people like his music and so they vote for him as best DJ makes sense :)

[Attire]

I reckon there must be at least some filtering. It just clearly isn't strict enough.

I like Hocus Pocus.

I bet a lot of people who vote for this don't even know the difference between DJ and producer.

[DJ Photon]

so entertaining its annoying.

[Dilla]

Last time I saw netsly DJ, he dropped his MAc off the stage at The WHP, yeah, bare DJ skillz man

[waynenoway]

That best track catergory is shocking apart from Program

[Agent Smith]

James - seriously we should have a DNBforum awards, the response would be decent + 100% more accurate.

Never pay much attention to these.

Critical for label of the year. Kasra has smashed it differently.
Enei for producer of the Year.

[jsmith89]

forum awards would be siiiick! we should wait til like the last week of the year tho to make it fair n all

[Attire]

That release was all over the DNBA podcast so I'm not that surprised it's up there.

[H*product]

Hospital Records tweeting the results, so far:

Best Newcomer DJ - AMC

Best Newcomer Producer - Enei

Best Newcomer MC - MC V

Best Venue - Fabric

Best Event - Hospitality

Best DNBTV Set - DJ AMC

Best Music Video - Breezeblock (Camo & Krooked)

Best Label - Hospital Records

Best Track - Bar Fight (Athys & Duster)

Best Album - Cross The Line (Camo & Krooked)

Hall Of Fame - Friction

Best MC - SP:MC

Best Producer - Camo & Krooked

Best DJ - Andy C


And it's over. The plus is that Netsky won nothing this year, the minus is that Hospital prevailed again.

[thedude]

lol at bar fight being the song of the year.

[Attire]

Hospital Records tweeting the results, so far:
Best Newcomer Producer - Enei


Happy for the recognition, but hasn't he been producing for years?

[skankandbass]

Just come home from this was rather enjoyable, Enei deserves the award no doubt but in my opinion Wilkinson should have won it. Best tune 'Bar Fight'? It's good but definitely not the best of the year!

[BPM]

Andy wrote

"just woke up in Australia to news that I was voted Best DJ at the Drum & Bass Awards in London! I really appreciate it...massive thanks for all the support :)"

[DjTiesticles]

Can someone explain how AMC is a newcomer DJ?

Fucks sake, may as well have Friction winning best newcomer DJ like he was a couple of years ago

[Demshy]

Best Producer - Camo & Krooked?

That made me laugh so hard....I would have expected Phace/Calyx & Teebee/Rockwell etc......the awards are clearly so mainstream.

[Serum]

I really wouldn't be surprised if most the voters are from Belgium looking at the nominees and who won. They've got very different tastes out there

[Dmiize]

Yeah you're not wrong, seem to be more Belgian voters than British.

[Agent Smith]

How Program wasnt track of the year is beyond belief...

good job we have our own smaller forum awards to get some accurate results... :teeth:

[logikz]

why? what did you win? oldest tracksuit probably. most twix eaten in a week.

[Fallen.GeMiNi]

I'd honestly choose Program from the nominees, but Bar Fight doesn't bother me so much. Fine track, but definitely not the best one of the year. But Camo & Krooked wining both best album and best producer category is such a fucking joke. I like some of their tunes, but their output this year wasn't really solid. They've released a lot of crap on the album.

[mikey-bizzle-08]

Meh there has been worse results in the past! I don't really pay attention to the Awards anyway

[Harry3]

I havnt even heard Barfight....

[Teddy]

i'll leave bar fight here for audio.. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has never heard it

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qmj8rPREn7s

warning... its not good, sounds like a big egg being attacked up by a small drill

some people really lack taste

[Upakut]

a joke, and the fact most industry heads are screwing cos they weren't winners or nominated makes me laugh even more. I told some peeps 6 of the winners before I went on the site to see today. All about back slapping and dick riding

LOLOLOLOL - just found out i have Bar Fight on the Titan Surface EP. Never played it as got it for Jungle Thing

[Agent Smith]

agreed.
You would assume it was more commercial audience voting otherwise Program would have bagged it. How can it not be track of the year??


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyrwMmsufJc

[DeeGun]

Yeah you're not wrong, seem to be more Belgian voters than British.

How do you explain the lack of Netsky tho? Isn´t he belgium..ish :teeth:

..and who in the world is MC V?

[Rubs90]

Saw this on facebook, had me laughing for a while


The name of the "Best DJ" category may as well be changed to "Best Andy C."

[DeeGun]

:lol:

[djflicky]

You guys sound surprised by the awful results?

[Sc0tty]

Saw this on facebook, had me laughing for a while

If he continues his Alive thing next year I can see him losing his title
