Anticipation Mounts for DJ Awards, Ibiza

As the season there draws to a close, the votes are being counted in this year's DJ Awards Ibiza 2008. And the winners will be announced at the special awards ceremony, taking place on the White Isle at the incomparable Pacha, on Thursday 25th September.

Now in its 11th year, the categories in this year's DJ Awards Ibiza have undergone a recalibration to reflect changes in the ever-shifting dance scene.

Nominees in the minimal category include Anja Schneider and Loco Dice, while Deadmau5 and Mark Knight are flying high in the electro-house category. Elsewhere, Brazil is being celebrated as the Dance Nation of the Year, with major DJs in the running for the prize including Gui Boratto and Marky.

Each of the winners will receive the distinctive green Kryptonite award, and with former winners including everyone from Pete Tong, to Erick Morillo, Roger Sanchez, Sven Väth, Tiësto, Paul Oakenfold, Danny Tenaglia, Ferry Corsten and Carl Cox, you can bet this will be a star-studded affair!

Warp Speed Nine


Germany’s wicked Warp Festival

If you love techno you can’t afford to miss the Warp Festival. Taking place on Saturday 5th April at the Maimarkthalle venue in Mannheim, Germany, Warp aims to celebrate the very best across the techno spectrum. For 14 years the festival has spearheaded musical innovation, and this year looks to be no exception. The line up reads like a veritable A-Z of electronic dance, with appearances from Carl Cox, Sven Väth, Richie Hawtin, Laurent Garnier (spinning an eight hour set), Ricardo Villalobos, Loco Dice and Luciano all present and correct.

Those slavering for a bit of the old electro filth needn’t fear either – Digitalism, Boys Noize are gonna put those bassbins through their paces. After an exceptionally successful 2007, Warp is set to be ever better this April. Don’t miss it! Tickets are priced at €45 plus booking fee in advance, and €55 on the night, and can be purchased from www.time-warp.de or www.ticketweb.co.uk.
