Voting in the Perth Dance Music Awards closed on Friday 20th of November and initial counts have seen in excess of 10,000 votes, making this year one of the biggest yet.

With the Awards Party to be held in less than two weeks on Sunday 6th December at The Rosemount, clear your diaries and make sure you get down there from 3PM to see all the winners announced in an awesome ceremony

Hosted by Dart and Blend who will be steering proceedings into the night, there will be a stella lineup of Perth DJs including Darren J, Devo, Joe Stawarz, Mach-1, Smurf and Tee El.

With the PDMA oompa loompas almost through vote counting, the top 3 for each category have been announced (Some categories may have 4 as there were draws) and we’re pretty chuffed to see inthemix featuring proudly under the best website heading.
