It’s that time of year again and annual polls are opening across the board. This week, we see DJ Mag’s “Best of British 2013” and Resident Advisor’s “Best DJs and live acts of 2013”
Resident Advisor have taken on a very solid voting model. You must be an existing member (before November 19th) and you can only vote for artists that have appeared in your diary in 2013. Voting is open now and will stay open until 11:59 PM GMT on Thursday, November 21st.
