Gourmet Beats

The 2010 Winter Music Conference has come and gone, and in its wake stand the newest winners of the International Dance Music Awards. The awards are given in 57 categories and include votes from dance music enthusiasts the world over.

This years winners include names we’ve seen many times before, as well as some notable new faces to the scene. Best Underground Dance Track went to the well deserving Dennis Ferrer for his outstanding song “Hey Hey”, (check out the first track of Tyler’s December Mix to hear the song) and we were glad to see Skream take the win for best Dubstep/DnB/Jungle track with his stellar remix of La Roux’s “In For the Kill”.
