The iconic DJ Awards are finally back and bigger than ever after a four-year break! This event, which highlights top talent, innovation, and contributions to the electronic music scene, is set for 2nd October 2024. Leading up to the main event, a series of glamorous summer events kicked off with a rebranding launch on Monday 15th July, at Ibiza’s Beachouse.
Founded in 1998, the DJ Awards have earned the nickname “the Oscars for dance music.” With new ownership and major investments, these awards continue to celebrate and support global DJ culture by recognizing outstanding achievements across the industry. The 2024 edition will feature many familiar categories along with new ones that reflect the industry’s evolution, promising to be the biggest and best yet with a special nod to Ibiza’s heritage and high industry standards.
Jasmine Elias, Head of Awards and Events at DJ Awards, says, “After a four-year break, I’m thrilled to bring back the DJ Awards with renewed passion and excitement. With new owners, a fresh vision, and a complete rebrand, we’re ready to celebrate the electronic music industry like never before.”
New owner Andy Grant adds, “Thanks to the integrity of the founders, who, for 22 years focused only on recognising true excellence in global dance music culture, the DJ Awards remains the only true and valid recognition of the community’s achievements. With this baked into our DNA we are now going to build upon this foundation and create something truly amazing – as important to dance music as the Oscars is to film. I am very proud to play a leading role in the next chapter of the DJ Awards.”
Since the last awards in 2019, the music world has seen big changes, including advancements in technology, streaming, AI, web3, and shifts in how people consume music. There have also been important discussions about diversity, mental health, and DJ superstardom. The revamped DJ Awards will recognize these key aspects of the industry, with nominees to be announced soon.
