  • 25 YEARS OF HISTORY

    Founded in 1998 by José Pascual and Lenny Krarup, the DJ Awards is the original and most respected honour in global dance music. For over 24 years it has celebrated real excellence on the dancefloor, not popularity contests or pay to play voting. While things like the DJ Mag Top 100 have become widely seen as advertising driven and disconnected from the culture, the DJ Awards has always been the real deal. For 19 years it owned Ibiza’s closing week at Pacha, welcoming icons like Daft Punk, Fernandisco, Pete Tong, Basement Jaxx and Carl Cox, before celebrating its twentieth anniversary at Hï Ibiza. This award can’t be bought, can’t be gamed and can’t be faked. It is respected because the artists themselves show up, collect their awards in person and treat it as the one that actually matters. DJ Awards is the OG voice of the culture and the only award that truly reflects the people, the dancefloor and the industry it represents.
