**London, UK** – A total of 25 electronic music creators from across the UK have been selected to receive support through the Help Musicians and DJ Mag’s Electronic Music Award. This 12-month career accelerator programme provides artists with funding, mentorship, and networking opportunities to help them develop their careers.

Each awardee will receive up to £3,000 to invest in a chosen music project, along with access to business advice from industry experts and an eight-session online course in music business skills tailored to electronic music. The programme also emphasizes peer networking and aims to address challenges highlighted in the recent Musicians’ Census, such as inconsistent income, debt vulnerability, and mental health issues.

Among the recipients are artists like Bristol-based NGAIO, who will use the funding to develop a new live set and release remixes of her recent EP. Newcastle-based multidisciplinary artist Azula Bandit plans to collaborate with other artists, refine their production skills, and explore new learning opportunities. Bangor-born, London-based musician Body Clinic will use the award to develop his live show and explore incorporating visual media into his work.

Other awardees include Manchester-based producer PERiiSU, who will complete her debut album; Manchester DJ and producer Murder He Wrote, who will release a new EP; Meg Ward, who will advance her Mega Wavy label; and Leeds’ Hang Linton, who will embark on a UK tour.

“We are incredibly excited to start working alongside this amazing cohort of awardees,” said Iain McGoldrick, Head of Business Development of DJ Mag. “All the artists awarded funding within this project are doing amazing things already, so we can’t wait to see how the funding and business support impacts their future work.”

The Electronic Music Award is designed to support the growth of electronic music in the UK by providing emerging artists with the tools and resources they need to thrive. This initiative is a testament to the power of collaboration and the importance of investing in the future of music.
