DJ Mag Reveals Nominations For Annual “Best Of North America” Poll

[NelsonG]

DJ Mag might be most well known for its Top 100 DJs ranking every year, but it also hones in on North America every year in its Best Of North America poll. With the region driving so much traffic and interest in dance music across the world every year, a poll focusing on North America is only logical.

Sixteen categories are presented, from Best DJ to Best Live Act to Best Label and all the other accolades that come in between. Some notable entries are Marc Rebillet for Best Live Act and 1788-L’s remix of “Disintegrate Slowly” by The Glitch Mob for Best Remix/Edit.

Notable exclusions include not a single Las Vegas club in either Club category, as well as the omission of both Electric Daisy Carnival and Ultra Music Festival from Best Festival.

Voting for the poll opened this morning, and ends on April 23; results will be announced on May 28.
