Below you’ll find the top 10 nominees in each category. Massive respect to everyone who has reached this stage of the awards process – the Drum&BassArena Awards are exclusively driven by public votes. Mad props also go to those who didn’t make the final stage but who have continued to push the scene forward with their vision and creativity. Big love!
