Malachiii (Ibiza Track of the Summer), Keinemusik (What’s Hot Global), Defected Croatia (Global Festival), Michael Bibi‘s One Life Campaign (Play It Back Award), GOSPËL (Eye on… USA). Last but not least, Dance Floor Moment: In the run up to the awards, people all over the world will have the chance to come to Ibiza and collect a genuine DJ Award on stage with all the other winners.
Founded in 1998 by José Pascual and Lenny Krarup, the DJ Awards have long been recognised as the ‘Oscars for electronic dance music.’ Now under new ownership and with fresh investment after a four year hiatus, the awards make a welcome return and continue to champion excellence in global dance music.
Tuesday 2nd Chinois Doors will open at 10pm with awards ceremony taking place 11.30 to 12.30. BBC Radio 1 tastemaker Jaguar returns to present the awards alongside respected electronic music personality Katie Knight, a regular face in Ibiza, who will also be interviewing artists backstage after the ceremony while the after-party kicks off in the club at 12.30am
