Trance Awards 2009

Trance Awards - The Winners Are Announced!

On Friday night thousands of people turned up at The Gallery @ Ministry of Sound nightclub for the Trance Awards ceremony. The party went off like a particularly well-primed firework. Markus Schulz, Menno De Jong, Simon Patterson, Sean Tyas, Claudia Cazacu & Jerome Isma-me all stepped behind the turntables and laid down the trance law! Over in the annex room Al Excess, Laura May, Hidden Agenda, Ryan Wilkinson and Intertek – the winners of the Trance Awards DJ Competition - did similarly fine work making their Ministry debuts!

lololol at best tracks

LOL at most of that list actually. PVD isnt even a trance DJ any more

Honestly the most pointless award ceremony ever.

Considering most of the awards were between 3 people and none of them were there.
Que what 4 seperate video's of armin saying thanks. Another one from PVD. Claudia was the one presenting the awards so she got to present it to herself...

What made it even worse was the fact they had built this 5x3m stage right infront of the DJ booth for this 15min ceremony, in which the most people on it at any point in time was 2. So for the whole night it mean't you were that much further away from the DJ.

A couple of crates in the corner would've done the job.
Just so pointless in what was otherwise a great night with good sets by all.

PVD has been saying he isnt a trance dj for years, likes to play everything electronica or just good music.

CT with another pointless dig at trance.

we should do an NZ Trance DJ award via voting so we can have a good laugh at who it throws up.

Txt voting at 20 cents per vote.

ya 20 cents a text towards my medical bills i reckon.
