Breakspoll 2013 Nominations Announced

February 22nd 2013

So, our specially trained monkeys have finished counting the thousands of votes submitted for Breakspoll 2013, deleted all the spammers, wannabees and fakes, and finally we have the Breakspoll 2013 Nominations.

We asked “who were your favourites in 2012?” and you guys have answered – in your thousands – and looking at the voting patterns this year, we are seeing a resurgence in breaks across the globe. Previously UK dominated categories by the so called “big names” of the scene are making way for new a breed of DJs, artists, labels and events from countries like Hungary, Russia, Spain, Canada and the US.

Adding up all of your votes has given us a massive memory jog of a fantastic year of music, and we look forward to celebrating it in style at our Awards Ceremony and event on Saturday 2nd March – where the winners will be announced live on stage at 11pm GMT.

Read on below to see if your favourites made the cut – and if you want to see it all happen live, grab your ticket now…
