Dance Music Awards

I was reading this news item*click* on the peoples choice nominations for the Dance Music Awards and a couple of things caught my eye.

Firstly, the 4 clubs nominated in SA are: Clubland @ Heaven, Saturdays @ Heaven, Saturdays @ Minke Bar, Rush

Congratulations to Heaven, but aren't Clubland @ Heaven and Saturdays at Heaven the same thing?

Secondly the 4 SA DJ voted for by the public are: Reflux, Reelax, Odyssey, Debris

I know I've been out of the state for a couple of weeks now, but who is DJ Debris and how did he get so popular so quickly?
The other 3 DJs are all well established. Am I the only one who hasn't heard of DJ Debris?

Now overhere we have little Johnny and Miss Sue,
smokin' on a joint, this is not the thing to do,
i think that we have to take pictures of these two,
camera's ready prepare the flash

The Full Bench ITM Reporter	Debris? Do they mean... no, I cant even think of a dj name that sounds vaguely close. (Devious?) I bet you the DMA guys got drunk and thought they'd make up a dj and nominate him, and if he wins they can all fall over laughing. DRUM AND BASS ARENA www.breakbeat.co.uk It's all good...

I have heard some really bad things about the way that the DMA's are run, and how the prizes are usually pretty well rigged so that sponsors of the night win the prizes. Not sure how true it is.

As for DJ Debris.... is he a hip hop DJ?? Maybe that's why we haven't heard of him?

Fridays @ Black Cat White Cat. Djs Aaron, Remedy, Lynton, Amadeus. Dance floor friendly house and trance and 2 for 1 Vodkas.

WHO CARES?

these kind of awards are lame and dont mean anything. did anyone actually see the nominations for the arias (and how much was a load of ol cobblers) or worse still the grammys??? (i still remember being amazed in the early 1990s watching mc hammer and young mc get the best rapper awards - my poor wee innocent mind couldnt believe that they were even nominated!)
who really gives a toss???

vote for debris! vote for debris!

ALTITUDE smooth, rolling, liquid-funk drum&bass...

yeah...nowe that I know he's a real person I'm going back to voting for Mickey Mouse!

Aaron: are the awards that you're thinking of the Adelaide ones or the national ones? This is the national awards that have a Sydey bias or so Melbournians would have you believe (they are run natioally by 3D world whioch is Sydeny's dance music press). But other than that they are run quite well to my knowledge.

Yeah, my bad.... Im thinking of the adelaide ones which I don't think are even happening this year.... lack of sponsorship I think??
Not 100% sure.

Congrats Odyssey you've done well to get nominated in the national awards.

Yup, congrats Odyssey.
Someone better tell Reelax that he's a hip hop DJ though as I've never heard him play hip hop. What an imposter

Anyway..I thought hip hop fans were too busy smoking dope to do anything proactive like vote in the DMA's?

Sixer you of all people should know that the DMA's noninations are not rigged

The nominations were based on voting by a national panel of 50 people per state, to make it as even as
possible and these were the people that put forward the nominations not the DMA. The make up of the panels can be viewed here DMA Voting panels
The voting this year was conducted on the DMA website using the highest security method possible. The results were then tallied and verified by an independant accounting firm.

Congratulations on you nomination sixer and good luck ......I'm just glad I don't have to come home to find another horse head in my bed with a glowstick necklace and a yellow legoman in its mouth

agitate! educate! organise!
