the rise of the average and the defeat of quality continues

At least Hyperdub won best label.

sounds about right, although i would have put chemical above juno but meh.

No offence to skream, but how the fuck did he manage to win best dj above n-type and youngsta? They are both on another level compared to him, wtf.

There are awards that skream certainly deserves to win, i dont think best DJ is one of them though. Youngsta should have won, but people clearly don't judge it on mixing. Big up Skream still.

Does best DJ really just require an awesome mixing ability?

Wouldn't people also take into account things such as personality, interactivity with the audience and being a general entertainer?

Same with label and other awards...

This^ I voted Skream for this, mainly because he goes nuts and vibes out when mixing (and mixing well). When DJs look like they're having an amazing time I think it creates an amazing atmosphere.

Big ups to Joy Orbison for squezing out datsik. He definatley deserves it IMO

Couldnt agree more.

chemical over redeye?!?! WHAA!

yea oneman should have got best dj imo. Not that i think skreams weak, but oneman is a badman on deck.

I think all the winners seem fair enough, I'm glad too see dubstep beating kidstep/brostep/whateverstep you wanna call it.

Yeah fairly happy with them.

Big Up Dubway!

²nd that

Joker was a must for best producers, and big up Joy Orbison (shows that vibes beat chainshaw)!

Hyperdub deserved Best Label aswell, they were on fire last year, espesh with the Hyperdub 5 (which rightfully deserved best album)

LOL I took a guess at who would win and i was right except I thought datsik would win best new producer. All winners deserved it IMO. I can see Joker winning this year too after his album drops

Quite surprised by some of the winners here but also not surprised by some of the other due to big commercial success. Not surprised by Joker getting best producer, I have personally never liked any of Jokers tunes except the odd 1 or 2 but I do appreciate how much of a good producer he is, some of the sounds he makes are are on some level.
Thank god Joy Orbison one best new producer, look at the two below him.
Hyperdub rightfully one best label, that label is a machine but Dub Police and Ruttun? Deep medi far surpasses them 2 labels put together.
Emalkay- when I look at you winning best track................
Not surprised by In for the kill winning best remix
Best album sounds about right all though I wish it were City Limits.
Why is it that for best mix the first and second place winners stand out (Not in a good way)
Well done to MAH, fully deserved but I didn't realise how underrated Jay5 and Antisocial was which is such a shame.
BUT the biggest shock is Juno, wtf Juno is one of the worst, they don't even discount postage on large orders, or they never used to. I suppose Juno would be quite pissed off if they weren't on the list considering they have sponsored these awards.......

Youngsta came 5th in best DJ . I am speechless really!

You gotta understand that the harder dubstep is really popular and Rottun & Dub Police are 2 of the top labels doing that stuff. When I look at u was hyped and played to death last year same with in for the kill no surprises there.

As for the 2 mixes theyre really good mixes, 16Bit goes from burial to emalkay flawlessly and its a well thougt out and great mix mix, and I was there live when Excision did his shambhala mix adn it still is the best dubstep set Ive witnessed for the harder dubstep it is the best.

Skream is by no means the best, but he is EASILY the biggest DJ in Dubstep.

I personally voted for Youngsta, but I can totally see why Skream won it.

oh.....and don't forget America is a big country, they probably had a large percentage of voting.
