Club World Awards

The 2008 winners represented a healthy cross-section of nightlife. Standout winners include world clubbing capital New York City for Best Superclub - Pacha NYC, Best Club - Cielo, and Best Party - Dance.Here.Now.; Miami for Set's two wins, and Best Renovation - Cameo; Las Vegas for Best Bottle Service - Tao; and Toronto for Peter Gatien's clubbing comeback, Best New Venue - Circa. Jet Las Vegas solidified its position as the best place in the U.S. for high-tech visuals, taking the Best Resident VJ and Best Video System awards. Lush house jock Kaskade bested New York legend Louie Vega for the Best Resident DJ title, for his monthly stint at Smart Bar in Chicago.

This year, the expanded awards program also included three new People's Choice categories, determined by on-line public voting: Club Banger Of The Year (instrumental), which went to Fedde Le Grand's Put Your Hands Up For Detroit; Club Anthem Of The Year (vocal), won by David Guetta's Love Is Gone; and Ultra Records Presents Best DJ Set, won by Danny Tenaglia for the Vinyl Reunion at Pacha New York, on April 6, 2007. In a surprise on-line windfall, the Garden State's Deko Lounge took the NightStalker Award for fan-favorite venue, also decided by on-line voting.

Among those presenting and attending were: ATB, Cedric Gervais, Chris Willis, Colette, Crystal Waters, Danny Krivit, D:Fuse, David Guetta, DJ Heather, DJ Rap, Don Diablo, Erika Jayne, Fedde Le Grand, Infected Mushroom, Kaskade, Larry Tee, Princess Superstar, The Scumfrog, Tommy Lee, Shapeshifters and more.

The nominees were selected from a pool of on-line submissions by the Club World editorial staff, with winners determined by a 12-person industry-veteran, expert panel of judges, except for the four People's Choice categories. The Club World Awards is presented by Club Word (formerly Club Systems International), a magazine for the professional nightlifer. Launched in July 2000, the monthly publication covers the world's best venues from technical, business and aesthetic perspectives.
