Does the fact there is a 120-140 dj category mean non 120-140 Djs will only be considered for best DJ, and vice versa?
There was alot of overlap on the 2 categories last year...

Should also give a big thanks to all the moderators and admins involved in making the awards process run smoothly: it's a lot of work and those guys do a sterling job.

This. All of the labels associated with the Tape Echo crew (Peng Sound, No Corner, Bandulu, Hotline, etc.) all seem to have 1, maybe 2, releases, which is why I couldn't really vote for any of them.
