1. Maya Jane Coles

Chosen by Ralph Lawson, DJ, 2020 Vision: ‘It has already been a staggering year for this 24-year-old east Londoner. She has picked up the award for Best Newcomer in Ibiza and has been nominated three times for DJ Mag’s Best of British awards next week. Maya has been a breath of fresh air in the male dominated world of DJs – she can effortlessly change genres at will between house, dubstep or electronica. Move over James Blake…’www.mayajanecoles.com

Definitely Black Light Smoke on the Scissor & Thread label. With an amazing track like Lovework already in rotation by the major DJs as well as major collaborations with Francis Harris (a.k.a. Adultnapper) and others, his upcoming releases in 2012 promise to be equally, if not more, amazing. https://www.facebook.com/blacklightsmoke
