Positioned as a counter-balance to the global DJ Mag Top 100 DJs poll, Best of British is a celebration of the UK’s underground electronic music scene. Powered by Relentless Energy Drink, it shines the spotlight on UK talent, be they DJs, producers, live acts, ensembles, MCs or labels, clubs, venues, festivals, albums, compilations, tracks, remixes, or live streams.
