For the third time, Beatport has been honored with an award at the 23rd Annual International Dance Music Awards.

The awards ceremony takes place as part of the annual Winter Music Conference (WMC) held in Miami, Florida, long regarded as the industry’s and fans’ premier networking event for the dance music industry held in the United States.

Adding to Beatport’s collection, this year’s award of ‘Best Dance Music Retailer’ was handed to Beatport’s CEO Jonas Tempel during the ceremony. 

Of receiving the award, Tempel said, “Beatport is humbled by the support of the industry and the fans of electronic music.

“Winning for the second year in a row is a true testament to the unwavering efforts of the Beatport staff to create the best online retail experience for DJs and enthusiasts alike.

“We’d like to thank everyone for this recognition.

“It means a great deal to Beatport to be recognized by our peers.”

In 2006, Beatport won awards for both ‘Best Dance Music Retailer’ and ‘Best Dance Music Specialty Retailer’.

Over 10,000 ballots are cast in the prestigious awards to vote for the most innovative and elite artists, producers, promoters, remixers and record labels in the industry.
