YetepLast night, Thursday, September 21st, the first annual Electronic Music Awards honored the biggest and brightest names in the dance music scene. This wasn’t your average awards show though. With no seats or acceptance speeches and most of the evening being filled by performers, it was more like a dance party than anything else. The vibe was “fun, light-hearted, and community-based.” They crowned winners for eleven different awards, each celebrating achievements for music artists, creatives, executives, and other contributors. The event was live-streamed on Twitter and part of the broadcast, including Moby’s set, was streamed in 360, making it one of coolest award shows we’ve ever seen.
Among the winners was Aussie star Alison Wonderland who was up against some great competition, but ultimately beat out Kungs, Marshmello, Mura Masa, Rezz and San Holo to take home the award and title of ‘New Artist of the Year.’

Rüfüs Du Sol took the W for ‘Best Live Show’ against Bob Moses, Bonobo, Eric Prydz, Flume, and Porter Robinson x Madeon and ‘Record of the Year’ for “Innerbloom.” Surprisingly, but also not surprising at all considering the level of talent, there was a tie for ‘Radio Show of the Year’ between Diplo‘s Diplo and Friends and Pete Tong‘s The Essential Selection.
Big love to everyone who has come to a show this past couple of years. Thank you all for making something like this possible 🏆 https://t.co/8HHVKILLN5
