DJ Awards
Die DJ Awards sind eine Preisverleihung, die seit 1998 jährlich auf Ibiza stattfindet und DJs sowie Künstler der elektronischen Tanzmusik würdigt.
Geschichte
Die DJ Awards wurden 1998 von Jose Pascual und Lenny Krarup ins Leben gerufen[1] und werden seitdem jährlich am Ende der Sommersaison auf Ibiza vergeben.
Bis 2016 fand die Verleihung jedes Jahr im Pacha Ibiza statt. 2017 wurde das Event zur Feier des 20. Jubiläums in der neu eröffneten Diskothek Hï Ibiza abgehalten. Seit 2018 findet es im Heart Ibiza statt.[2] 2018 wurden in den Kategorien House, Tech House, Techno und Trance einmalig jeweils zwei Preise vergeben, einer für den besten Künstler („Artist“), sowie einer für den besten DJ („Master“).
Die Verleihung ist seit 2020 ausgesetzt.
