Awards
Ibiza DJ awards presented
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 29 September 2010
Last night it was the Ibiza DJ Awards in, well, Ibiza, obviously. And as well as the genre awards, special gongs were handed out to Mike Pickering, Ben Turner and the crew behind the Ibiza Rocks franchise.
Turner, the boss of London-based artist management and music partnerships company Graphite and one of the founders of Ibiza-based dance music conference the International Music Summit, got an Outstanding Dedication prize. Turner told CMU: “I’m honoured to receive this award for Outstanding Dedication from my peers in the electronic music industry. I’ve attended this event for many years, and run electronic awards shows myself over the years, so it’s an honour to be on the receiving end. It’s 20 years, in 2010, since I first worked [in music] at Melody Maker, so it’s a special year for me to get this when you also consider all that is happening to electronic music culture around the world”.
