Juno Records

For the last two decades, the death knell of vinyl has been sounded annually. Usurped by CDs, rendered obsolete by the all-consuming march of iTunes and Beatport, there seems little rational reason why those heavy, fragile slabs of black wax should endure so long.

Pete Tong's Essential Selection

“Time is always my biggest battle,” states voice of the dance music nation, Pete Tong. “Finding the time to do it all and have the right head space to listen to so much music, you have to be on the case!” And he certainly was on the case again in 2012, picking up the DJ Mag gong for Best Radio Show for his tireless work on the Essential Selection each and every week.

Bicep

The Northern Irish duo capture the zeitgeist with their NJ house flavour The schoolfriends from Belfast known as Bicep (Matt McBriar, 25, and Andy Ferguson, 24) have been DJing together since their early teens; since the young scallywags got themselves fake IDs and started sneaking into their hometown's techno bastion, Shine.

TEED

A lot has changed since DJ Mag first witnessed Orlando Higginbottom wearing a dinosaur onesie hunched over a laptop at London's Cargo in 2007. In those days, his show (aside from pre-historic attire of course) was mostly about the music. Not that it isn't the case today. However, major label (Polydor) backing, Nokia sponsorship and an album that peaked at No.35 in the UK album chart to one side, few would deny that his live show is close to becoming the brightest string to his bow — especially now.

Just Jack, Bristol

Remember a time when Bristol wasn’t part of the Holy Grail with London and Berlin as a triumvirate of electronic cool? No, us neither, but that was the case around seven years ago, with the glowing embers of a once great d&b scene the only thing to really be keeping the city on the map at all.

The Garage, Leeds

Larry Levan's NY mecca might be gone (not forgotten), but The Garage is already the place on Leeds' lips less than 10 months in...

fabric

In 2012 it seems that Fabric’s biggest competitor has been the new phenomenon of ‘TBA’. From overground electro to underground techno parties, promoters in the capital have been looking to keep their parties fresh by exploring as many unused venues as possible and simply listing them as To Be Announced right up until the last minute.

Happa's Techno 2.0 vibes

The speed with which Leeds techno wunderkind Happa has risen to hype levels is almost frightening. Appearing as if from nowhere in 2012 with a debut 12 for Church — a label launched by the forward-thinking south London club of the same name — he's caught the ear of the bass and techno cognoscenti alike with a sound hewn from onyx synths, sepulchral, industrial clanking drums and a roughneck garage swing that keeps the dance bubbling.
