Created On: Monday, 17 March 2008 Hits: 68 ![]() ADateZ Inc. logo The Beatport Music Awards are based solely on the units sold through the portal, broken down into 19 categories. Voting will open on 18th March although the nominees are already known. A look at the list will surely raise many eyebrows: Dubstep pioneer Burial has remarkably been included into the category Best Chill Out artist, while the electro-rockers of Modeselektor are nominated for Best Dubstep & Grime artist. One can question the importance of an award show as such. It's globally known that the DJ Mag Top 100 is a commercial platform to DJs that have conducted extensive marketing campaigns rather than a credible list of actual popularity. Beatport does not claim to conduct an overview of the world's best jocks, but this show merely looks like a nifty marketing tool for nobody but Beatport itself with an aim to increase digital sales. Obviously this new extension to the Beatport format is a smart addition business-wise.
