Even though according to the stream of unjustifiable comments scattered throughout associated social media sites (even inclusive of inthemix’s own facebook page) suggest there will always be doubt in some people’s mind that certain awards or placings should have been awarded to particular alternative participants. Overall it’s safe to say though that the awards, give a clear, strong indication that the electronic dance music industry in Australia, is definitely in good health and shape.
DancemusicAustralia.com will soon be launching our very own online poll. Voting will only be exclusively conducted by registered Australian dance music artists on dancemusicaustralia.com only. Part of the poll will include a feature of the top 10 electronic dance music artists in Australia at the moment. The aim of course, recognising the efforts of their peers in the local industry.
To be registered as an Australian artist to vote, simply fill out an artist profile on dancemusicaustralia.com by clicking here.
Stay tuned as we bring you more, in the very near future. Once again congratulations to all the winners and also to all the runner-ups in each category as well.
