VOTE FOR JOHN B IN THE DJ MAG TOP 100!
September 1, 2010
Please Vote for John B in the DJ Mag Top 100 Vote!!
So its that time of year again where I need your vote! This is the only awards thing I really bother trying to get support for, so excuse me if it feels a bit spammmmy for the next couple of weeks (voting ends September 23rd I think). We need the votes if we’re going to get Electro Drum & Bass up there & fight against the cheesy Guetta-pokalypse, Jimmy Saville campaigns on facebook & old-guard DJs with major labels and big PR Teams behind them!
Thanks to you guys last year I finally broke into the DJ Mag Top 100 (#92 overall) & actually made it as #1 Drum & Bass DJ which was an amazing achievement, especially for someone as far outside the typical, UK mainstream DnB scene… So THANKS… AGAIN!!
This year we’re aiming higher so need your help to get things boosted!
The poll is traditionally dominated by the big, pop, house & trance DJs, Tiesto, Guetta etc etc with major label PR budgets behind them, and DnB never really gets much of a look-in, so we need the votes even more – it would be absolutely MIGHTY if I could break into the top 50, or higher this year – so PLEAAAAASE go vote for me at http://www.top100djs.net/ and try to get your mates/grandma/cat to do it too!
Anyway – voting ends Sept 23rd so not long to go now – thanks for all the support. CLICK HERE TO VOTE

John B #1 D&B DJ in the DJ Mag Top 100 Poll 2009!!
November 4, 2009
We’re delighted to announce that John B was voted #1 DnB DJ at this year’s DJ Mag Top 100 Poll, coming in at #92 overall!
John was presented with his award on Wednesday night at the Ministry of Sound nightclub in London, by Peter Hook (of Joy Division & New Order). More than 300,000 votes were cast this year, from 263 different countries.
We’d like to thank everyone who voted for John for the support & for taking the time to vote for him. John said in his blog: “I’m absolutely over the moon with the result, it’s an amazing achievement to finally break into the DJ Mag Top 100, and an honour to be the highest Drum & Bass DJ! Thank you SO MUCH everyone that supported me in the poll – I promise I’ll keep the podcasts coming, and keep giving it 200% on tour! Thanks!!!”
Armin Van Buuren was number 1 for the 3rd year running, (and told John he was secretly a fan of Drum & Bass!), and there were some great DJ sets on the night from Mr Buuren, Gareth Emery, Above & Beyond & lots of other guys, but we’d had too much champers by then to remember!
You can see the full Top 100 list in this month’s edition of DJ Mag, or on the DJ Mag website if you click here.
John was interviewed by skrufff.com about the award last week – you can read the article here.
Here’s the John B entry in the Magazine:
New John B & Beta Recordings Webstore Launched!
October 28, 2009
We’re proud to announce the launch of our brand new webstore at www.beta-store.com
Thanks to the amazing skills of our new web designer genius Mike @ bozboz.co.uk and Trickartt at www.trickartt.com and a lot of blood, sweat and tears in the Beta Recordings office AND several million hours climbing around in the loft going through all our back catalogue and checking stock levels – we’re finally there!
The new webstore has a much better system for dealing with digital downloads, we sell bundles now too which is great for albums, and we’re planning on putting up some previously unavailable stuff too – like John’s first album, ‘Visions’ and a previously very limited USA only release of ‘Brainstorm’ – plus lots more classics, remastered & remixed – but more on that later.
We’ve also massively improved the shipping system – every item has its weight recorded, so when you check out all you have to do is tell us which country you live in, the webstore works out the total weight of everything you ordered and then calculates the correct shipping, so no more searching for the right shipping option in a huge list, and no more accidental overcharging or any of that rubbish! Lovely!
We’ve got loads of back catalogue up now, (if it’s displayed on the site then we have it in stock!) – and some really cool new stuff coming in time for Christmas too (did someone say JOHN B SNOWGLOBES!? haha!)
So go check out www.beta-store.com right now and bag yourself some electropunkrobotikDrum&Bass – mp3s are only 89p!
VOTE FOR JOHN B IN THE DJ MAG TOP 100!
September 10, 2009
Please Vote for John B in the DJ Mag Top 100 Vote!!
Taken from the Official John B Blog:
So its that time of year again where I need your vote – this is the only awards thing I really bother trying to get support for, so excuse me if it feels a bit spammmmy for the next couple of weeks – I just neeeeeed the votes!
Last year thanks to you guys I made it to number 126 – and was number 3 in the D&B DJs (only Andy C & Hype above me) which was an amazing achievement, especially for someone as far outside UK mainstream DnB – so THANKS, I was really touched by the support from you lovely sexy electro-bots ;-).
The poll is traditionally dominated by the big house & trance DJs, Tiesto, Guetta etc etc and DnB never really gets much of a look-in, so we need the votes even more – it would be absolutely MIGHTY if I could break into the top 100 this year – so PLEAAAAASE go vote for me at http://www.top100djs.net/ and try to get your mates/grandma/cat to do it too!
If you really want to SUPER help, when you vote obviously put me at number 1 – and then people you think will probably be above me anyway as the other 4. (Yes I’ve been watching too much reality TV lately and thinking too tactially!)
Anyway – voting ends Sept 3rd so not long to go now – thanks for all the support. CLICK HERE TO VOTE
Oh, and if you haven’t been downloading all my podcasts & DJ Mixes already CLICK HERE to check out my podcast and grab all the lovely free mp3s…
