Beatport Music Awards 2008 Winners
ADateZ Logo
Beatport have announced the winners of its Music Awards, in which users had the chance to vote for their favorite artists.

The show has been subject to a worldwide buzz over the weeks with music fanatics worldwide questioning the fact that only registered users were able to vote as well as that nominees were based solely on unit sales on Beatport during 2007.

At the time of its launch the show came with a few eyebrow-raising nominations, yet the result is a list that contains little more than the usual suspects.

Best Artists 2008:

Best Breakbeat Artist: Plump DJs
Best Chill Out Artist: Trentemøller
Best Deep House Artist: Phonique
Best Drum & Bass Artist: High Contrast
Best Dubstep & Grime Artist: Modeselektor
Best Electro House Artist: Deadmau5
Best Electronica Artist: Trentemøller
Best Hard Dance Artist: BK
Best Hardcore Artist: DJ Isaac
Best House Artist: Axwell
Best Minimal Artist: Dubfire
Best Progressive House Artist: Deadmau5
Best Psy Trance Artist: Ace Ventura
Best Tech House Artist: Booka Shade
Best Techno Artist: Dubfire
Best Trance Artist: Armin Van Buuren


Best Music 2008
Best Remix of 2007: Dirty South - Let It Go feat. Rudy (Axwell Remix)
Best Single of 2007: Deadmau5 - Not Exactly


Final Category
The Most Influential, Forward-thinking and Relevant Person in Electronic Music in 2007.
Winner: Deadmau5


It seems that the real winner is Deadmau5 (ka-ching!), as he holds the title of Best Electro House Artist, Best Progressive House Artist, Best Single Of 2007 and The Most Influential, Forward-thinking and Relevant Person in Electronic Music in 2007.

365Mag already labeled the show as a "nifty marketing tool full of dubious oddities". Now that the results are in, this statement seems to be justified as the list is a mere sum-up of who's and what's hot on Beatport. Interesting or relevant? We think not.
