And that's not all the Breakspoll news, oh no. Look out for a second Breakspoll Presents CD out very soon, put together by the aforementioned FreQ Nasty, his first album release since 2003's 'Bring Me The Head of FreQ Nasty'.
Oh yes, and there's even a Breakspoll five-a-side football tournament taking place between the main awards event and the all-nighter - so that's Friday 24 Feb at Finsbury Park Leisure Centre from 1-5.30pm. Dance labels putting forward teams include Marine Parade, Distinctive, Fat Records, West Record and Fabric, the latter defending their title from last year's tournament.
