DJ Awards 2009.....and the winner is Pacha

Yes, we jest, but the annual Pacha love-in that is the DJ Awards has announced the nominations. Check out who is in the running.......

First up here are the things that made us laugh:

1. Ellen Allien as best newcomer!! Sorry, but last time i checked it wasn't 1995 was it?

2. Adam Beyer in Best Minimal category, despite saying last year when he won, "I'm not minimal but i'm the best minimal". You'd think they'd get the hint.

3. Roger Sanchez disappearing off the best House DJ nominee list, I wonder why??!?!?!

4. The ridiculous categorisation of the techno, minimal, tech house, progressive and electro DJs, when they could all be in at least 2 or 3 different categories. But please, Eddie Halliwell and Sasha in the same category, what exactly have you been smoking??

Anyway, here is the list of nominees and press release.

Catch the world’s best-known DJs at the 12th edition of the DJ Awards
at Pacha Ibiza on Thursday 24th September. The biggest names from across the genres of dance music will gather to celebrate the biggest tunes, best parties and the latest technology that has made an unforgettable season.

Attached is the full list of the 2009 categories and nominees, which can also be accessed at www.djawards.com.


The winners in each genre are selected by public vote and the honourees who lift the legendary “Kryptonite” trophy have satisfaction of knowing it is a tribute from their fans. Voting is open now and runs until Monday, 10 August at www.djawards.com.

The DJ Awards 2009 is focused on discovering new talent so we are inviting the public to nominate their favourite DJ in the Ibiza Resident DJ and Dance Nation of the Year (Russia) categories – these nominations will be counted as votes.

The DJ Awards have become an end of season tradition in Ibiza, uniting DJs who come to celebrate the music they love. Previous winners who’ve graced the Pacha stage include Armin Van Buuren, Erick Morillo, Sven Vath, Tiësto, Paul Oakenfold, Luciano, Ricardo Villalobos, Ferry Corsten, Carl Cox and Cristian Varela.

The awards ceremony will include special guest performances and the party continues with F**k Me I’m Famous.

Every year the DJ Awards has a theme. This year’s is Dreams – which help us realise our desires and turn them into reality.

The Dreams theme has inspired the artwork of the 12th Edition DJ Awards CD compilation featuring the best tracks of the 2009 season in their original versions in an unmixed, DJ-friendly format.
