28th ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL DANCE MUSIC AWARDS WINNERS

28th ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL DANCE MUSIC AWARDS WINNERS

In addition to all the hardcore partying taking place during Miami Music Week, there is an actual conference taking place, which in case you didn’t know, also includes an awards extraveganza known as the International Dance Music Awards.

Now in it’s 28th year, the IDMA’s are kind of a big deal. The awards range from the expected Best DJ category as well as Best Breakthrough DJ, Best European DJ, even the Smirnoff’s Best North American DJ. Other categories include, Best Compilation, Remixer, Producer, Promo Subscription Service/Music Pool, Best Music App, Global Music Event, and one we’ve been vying for Best Music Media Resource – Online or Print. This is just the tip of the iceberg, there are a lot more. No, really, a whole lot more. Too much to list off, so instead, here’s the list of this years winners!

Note to IDMA Gods. Keep your eyes on us. We’re aiming for you!
