Вот и закончились дни и недели томления деятелей электронной танцевальной сцены. Часы ожидания и волнения в связи с объявлением имен лауреатов одной из самых престижных церемоний в индустрии электронной музыки – International Dance Music Awards или сокращенно IDMA. Церемония прошла в четверг в Майами в рамках Winter Music Conference, именно тут сейчас сосредоточено все музыкальное сообщество, интересующееся и непосредственно занимающееся электронной танцевальной музыкой.
На протяжении последних недель артисты, лейблы, порталы об электронной музыке, промоутеры и другие персоны клубного шоу бизнеса развернули немалую промо кампанию, целью которой было получение голосов поклонников. Реалии современного рынка – даже самые качественный продукт умрет без промоушена. Тем не менее, это не повлияло на справедливость гласа общественности, и как претенденты, так и победители в различных номинациях, которых, стоит упомянуть, в этом году насчитывается 57, оказались более чем достойными признания на столь высоком уровне.
Думаю, нет смысла подробно рассматривать каждую номинацию, так как во многих из них имена лауреатов были вполне предсказуемы и в некоторой степени даже очевидны. Анализ дело весьма противоречивое и субъективное, посему предлагаю вам, уважаемые читатели, ознакомившись с именами, признанными IDMA лучшими в этом году, сделать для себя вывод, кто получил по заслугам, а кто выехал на Олимп за счет пиара и старых заслуг.
Ну и, не затягивая больше с представлением лауреатов IDMA в этом году, приглашаю всех взглянуть на итоговый список победителей.
В списке представлены как номинанты премии в различных категориях, так и победители. Победители, как и полагается, на первом месте.
