DJ Awards

The DJ Award is the electronic dance music international award, honouring the DJ´s and the music industry that supports them. Since 1998, these awards are held annually at Pacha Ibiza in the last week of September which coincides with the closings of the most important Ibiza clubs. It is known internationally as the Oscars of the DJ community, being an event that gathers in each edition the most selected international "movers & shakers" of the electronic dance music industry. This ceremony was jointly created by José Pascual and Lenny Ibizarre to recognise and celebrate the talent of the best DJ´s on the planet. The fundamental philosophy of the awards is not as a competition, but instead, a celebration of the electronic dance music scene, revealing the artistic ability of DJ´s to the global music audience.This is the only international event for DJ´s. It is the longest running award for Djs. It has retained its ethos since its beginning; to "honor all those who have influenced and influence today’s dance music around the world". The 10th Anniversary of the DJ Awards took place on Thursday 27 September 2007. The event was hosted by Pete Tong (BBC Radio 1) and Gabriella Paina (Fashion TV). The DJ Awards marked a decade of honoring the world’s most popular DJs with live performances from vocalist Rebecca Brown and also Max.
