I’ve been following the beatport music awards for the last couple years and it’s an excellent way to get familiar with who’s hot and who’s not in the electronic music industry.  Sometimes unknown artists, remixers, producers, and DJ’s find themselves at the top of the charts exposing them to the rest of electronic music world. It’s a large world and Beatport aims to select the latest and greatest talent for the last year.

From their website — “The Beatport Music Awards aims to recognize electronic music talent. With nominees based solely on Beatport sales data from March 2009 – March 2010, the awards are broken down by music genre.

There are 36 categories altogether: Best Artists (separated into 18 genres), and Best Track (17 genres, with both originals and remixes), with a final open question asking the public to name the ‘most influential, relevant and forward-thinking person in electronic music over the past 12 months’.

Voting closes on May 19th 2010, with the winners announced on or around May 27th.

Please note: voting is currently not compatible with Internet Explorer 8. Please cast your vote using Internet Explorer 7, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, or Opera.”
