The shortlist for DJ of the Year at the DJ Awards 2024 is in, and David Guetta, Peggy Gou and Calvin Harris are all in the running.
Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike, Fisher, Martin Garrix and Swedish House Mafia complete the shortlist, and the winner will be chosen at the ceremony at Club Chinois Ibiza on 2 October, 2024.
The DJ Awards returns in 2024 after a four-year break. Founded by José Pascual and Lenny Krarup in 1998, the DJ Awards is now under new ownership with “substantial investment”, per Record of the Day.
“Music has power – the power to unite us, to cheer us up, to give us the chills, to instantly remind us of a long lost memory, to create a vibe, to set a mood, or to even motivate change,” says Andy Grant, new owner of the DJ Awards.
“That is why we have chosen the theme of Unity for the DJ Awards 2024 reboot with the launch of our Best Dancefloor Memory user generated competition which will see everyone everywhere share their top memories via Instagram, tagging @thedjawards and our panel of judges will select someone from any corner of the globe to come to Ibiza and collect a genuine DJ Award that they can keep on the mantelpiece forever.”
Other categories at the awards will encompass genres including house, tech house, drum & bass, techno, progressive house and trance.
