House Music Awards

Underwater and Defected look likely to take at least some of the honours at the first ever Global House Music Awards, first mentioned at the WMC in Miami earlier this year and due to take place in London in the autumn.

Voting is now taking place for the awards after the nominations closed on the 30th of June and nominations were announced 2 weeks later. Keeping commercial interests firmly at bay deciding on winners for the awards will be totally up to the public with an online voting system open to all house music fans.

Categories in the awards range from the obvious Track of the Year, Artist of the Year and DJ of the Year to Best Venue, Most Innovative Technology and Best Radio Station with nominees from house music scenes all over the world. UK labels seem to be leading the charge though with Defected receiving 8 nominations for awards including Best Label and Best Club Night, and Underwater picking up 5 nominations including Label of the Year and DJ of the Year, (Tim Deluxe). Special mention must go to Shapeshifters though who are in line for 3 awards after the massive success of the track EVERYONE'S playing this summer, 'Lola's Theme'.
