Music Recognition Awards 2026
Two rooms · Multiple genres · One Twisted night
Plus a host of talented DJs and MCs from across the UK underground.
The Music Recognition Awards were built on one belief: recognition shouldn't depend on how long you've been around, how many followers you have or who you know. Talent, dedication and hard work deserve to be seen and heard.
What started as the Up & Comer Awards has grown into a celebration of the whole underground community, from established names to emerging talent. Different sounds. Different styles. One underground community.
Applications, public voting and judging are done, and the 2026 winners have been announced. Thank you to everyone who applied, voted and spread the word.
