Club World Awards

Club Systems International magazine presented the sixth annual Club World Awards on Wednesday, March 26th at Set during WMC. A panel of industry-veteran, expert judges chose the winners in categories ranging from club and jockey to system and products. The Nightstalker award for best club were chosen online by people who visit the PartyStrands website as were the awards for Club Banger (instrumental track,) Club Anthem (vocal track), and Best DJ Set. Club Banger Of The Year (for instrumentals), Club Anthem Of The Year (for vocals), and Best DJ Set.

The event was energetic and vibrant and a bit chatoic, but a controlled chaos. Everyone whos anyone was there. Becky Baeling hosted and was the glue that held it together. The only thing more coveted and watched than the disco ball globes inspired statuettes were the .. erm .. SouthBeach inspired globes of the onstage model. Samantha James rocked a performance of Rise and everyone danced (and sang along.) The only sore note was an out of place Tommy Lee who almost knocked out ATB with a rude exit. Hey, someone pass the word to Tommy - that kind of behavior doesn't fly in the dance world.
