DJ Awards 2024 Winners

The fantastic first edition of the newly revived DJ Awards was a hugely successful night of music and celebration at Chinois, Ibiza, on October 2nd.

Winners were announced in several key categories and special Industry Awards were handed out to legends of the scene by venerable hosts BBC 1 tastemaker Jaguar and Katie Knight. The magical evening marked a welcome return for the DJ Awards which is now very much back as ‘The Oscars of dance music’ once again.

This year was the first time in four years that the DJ Awards honoured its well deserving winners, with music lovers, industry insiders, and members of the public all in attendance at the star-studded event. The mood was high on fun after an epic Ibiza summer and the awards came thick and fast with plenty of great acceptance speeches.

The genre winners were: Afro – Black Coffee, House – Sam Divine, Tech House presented by The Hub Ibiza Studios – Vintage Culture, Trance – Armin Van Buuren, Techno – Sven Vath, Drum and Bass – Chase and Status, Organic House presented by Soul Water – WhoMadeWho, Progressive House presented by Christoffe Champagne – Camelphat, International DJ Of The Year Award – Fisher, Breakthrough presented by Riot Noise – Miss Monique, Live Act was Roisin Murphy.

Also on the night, Industry Award winners were presented with their trophies having been selected by a specially assembled team of industry professionals. They were the Ibiza Icon Award presented by Ibiza Global Radio – Luciano, Best Ibiza Party presented by Hibiki – David Guetta’s F*** Me I’m Famous at Ushuaia and Future Rave at Hi Ibiza, Lifetime Achievement Award – Javier Anadon, Ibiza Track of the Summer Award – Adam Port, Stryv – Move feat. Malachiii, What’s Hot Global Award – Keinemusik, Global Festival – Defected Croatia, Play It Back Award – Michael Bibi’s One Life Campaign, and the Eye on… USA – Gospel New York.

After the main ceremony, the afterparty kicked off in the club with special sets from Luciano, Cristoph, Mathew Jonson, Ben Sterling and Manu Gonzalez.

Founded in 1998 by José Pascual and Lenny Krarup, the DJ Awards have long been recognised as an influential voice in dance music.  Now under new ownership and with fresh investment after a four year hiatus, the awards have made a fantastic return in 2024 and promise to be back bigger and better than ever in the new year in some exciting new locations.
