Created On: Friday, 09 May 2008 Hits: 81  ADateZ Logo 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 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.
