IDMA 2012 Winners Announced At Miami Music Conference

Last night the 27th Annual International Dance Music Awards were held.  Artists, producers, and Dance Music industry folk gathered in Miami for the annual awards show.  Unfortunately it did not get any network time on tv but that is not an indication of how big the IDMA's are.  In dance music, an IDMA is practically more important then winning a grammy because it is an industry award.  While a grammy may carry more prestige and notoriety, an IDMA is more meaningful in EDM.

Here is the shortlist of winners:

Best American Dj - Deadmau5

Best progressive track - Pressure(alesso remix)

Best Global DJ - Armin Van Buuren

Best Radioshow - Armin Van Buuren

Best Podcast - Armin Van Buuren

Best Trance Track - Armin Van Buuren

Best Label - Armin Van Buuren
