Who will get your vote for the 2008 DJ Awards?
10 August, 2008 | 9.05AMI always wonder how much the DJ Awards truly reflect public opinion.
What counts in the end anyway?
Is it popular mass appeal that most artists want? I think seasoned knowledgeable credibility amongst music enthusiasts and musicians still counts.
This year the DJ Awards has announced some of the nominees for various categories of music that Beatport also likes to pay attention to.
In the Minimal Category, contenders are not all that surprising considering the massive talent they represent both individually and collectively.
The list is as follows:
Steve Bug
Anja Schneider
Loco Dice
Matthias Tanzmann
Shlomi Aber
Adam Beyer
Michael Meyerand
Guy Gerber
My vote goes to Anja Schneider, who is not only a DJ and a fine producer, but also a label head and a radio personality.
This year her full length, Beyond the Valley, is a testament to her fine work of artistic yet still rhythmic and danceable blend of minimal tunes.
In the Electro House Category:
Anders Trentemøller
Eric Prydz
Mark Knight
James Zabiela
Layo and Bushwacka
Deadmau5
Benny Benassi
Felix Da Housecat
Trentemoller has my vote for this genre, because of his latest offering of the very beautiful melodic Miss You EP out on NEWS records this year.
In the Deep House Category the nominees are:
Vincenzo
Ben Watt
Charles Webster
Jimpster
Jay-J
Francois Kevorkian
Phonique
Miguel Migs
As with previous years the winner in each category will be decided by the public who will cast their votes via www.djawards.com.
Voting has started as Monday 28 July and will close on Sunday August 17.
Who will you vote for?
