The Drum & Bass Awards 2022 ceremony took place today at the LAB11 venue located in the heart of Birmingham. It’s good to see this event live again, last years event took place as a live stream due to COVID restrictions.
Awards always seem to divide the drum & bass community, never failing to get conversation flowing on social media. The official website for these Drum & Bass Awards states that the event is to celebrate the artists, DJ’s, MC’S & contributors that continue to push the scene forward to new heights.
Regardless of who wins, the sentiment behind events like this can only be commended.
