Really nice seeing people here putting my name down a while back

I've got through to the next round of voting to

i went all in this year trying to show myself as DJ DJ.. not because i have top 5 release or a huge label backing me with massive promotion tools

Which there are names in there, if the labels get on the back of all this with there 100000s of eager minions you know what the outcome will be. I'm a tiny fish in a big ass lake


My dream was to be able to get the recognition purely for the fact of what i can do with turntables in a club playing sets and with mixes i put out online, try and change the history of these awards a bit, as it seems to be producers who always win regardless if they are truly proper passionate DJs.

This to some people may not mean anything at all, the awards in general i mean and everyone has a rant every time about it
Even to the artists who win they probably don't care..

But to me this really would be an achievement, doing it purely as a DJ, pretty much unheard of since like the 1920s back in the day when bassman was starting in the game.


But on a serious note
Also it would give that platform to be taken seriously, start something up and a chance to bring some DJs through and make an impact


Anyways, if you have been feeling all my input from this year, and want to vote for me go for it, il give you a kiss and take you out for dinner

Cheers x

I would have voted for you had I known! Big up for your efforts this year
 
Can't remember everything I voted for but certainly did

Best Newcomer DJ - Mistanoize
Best Newcomer Producer - Hyroglifics
Best Label - Metalheadz
 
The second round finals started yesterday

It's like 10 of us in each cat now who went through


You don't need no shitty award to tell us how much of a badman you are, We already know. If I wasted my time on this thing I would of voted for you.

I remember a set you did awhile ago with Bassman & Trigga such a big set!
 
It just occured to me that I should have nominated G.H.O.S.T for best newcommer but I just didn't even think of it at the time.
