The DJ Awards celebrate exceptional talent, innovation, and contributions to the electronic music community. Over the years, industry giants like David Guetta, Martin Garrix, Roger Sanchez, Black Coffee, Jamie Jones, and Fat Boy Slim have been honored. The tradition continues this year, spotlighting top achievers across various categories in prestigious ceremonies.
New Management
With new ownership and significant investment, the DJ Awards are set to raise the bar. New owner Andy Grant expressed his excitement: “Thanks to the integrity of the founders, who, for 22 years, focused only on recognizing true excellence in global dance music culture, the DJ Awards remains the only true and valid recognition of the community’s achievements. With this baked into our DNA, we are now going to build upon this foundation and create something truly amazing – as important to dance music as the Oscars is to film.”
The rebranding launch kicks off on July 15th at Ibiza’s Beachouse, followed by a series of dazzling events throughout the summer leading up to the main event.
