DJ Awards Winners Announced

We gathered with the rest of the global dance music scene last night at Pacha Ibiza for the annual DJ Awards celebration.

Des Paul and Lucy Horobin presided over the ceremony as 21 awards were presented. 12 of which were categories that were voted for by the music fans. There was incredible support shown with the number of votes increasing year on year. There were also 9 special awards which were chosen by industry insiders to recognise those who have contributed to the electronic music culture.

The biggest cheer of the night was for Carl Cox who picked up not one, but two awards for Techno and International. Space became the first recipient of the newly created Iconic Club Award. Carl’s story has been intertwined with that of Space so it was fitting that the day after the historic club’s closing of Space he presented his long time friend and colleague, Pepe Rosello, with the award.
