CROSSOVER HIT THAT HASN'T YET CROSSED OVER
Icona Pop "I Love It" "It's Been out for a while, but people are finally catching on. EDM DJs have started playing it, and it was also on HBO's hit show Girls. Love this record!"
MOST INNOVATIVE DJ
A-Trak "He's always pushing boundaries. He's an amazing producer but an even better DJ. A lot of EDM acts are good producers but not DJs."
BEST EDM ALBUM
Calvin Harris, 18 Months "Can't go against half a dozen big club records off one album. In my eyes he's the best in the EDM world."
