With the votes tallied, the Perth Dance Music Awards has revealed the top three in each category. The categories are certainly exhaustive, too, with the DJing honours divided between genres. There’s also nods for ‘Best Event, Best Flyer, Best Record Label’ and, yes, ‘Best Dance Music Website’ – in which inthemix is stoked to be nominated again!

Scrolling fingers at the ready: the full list of ‘top threes’ (or top four if there was a draw) is below. The winners are set to be crowned at an awards ceremony on Sunday 12 December, kicking off at 3pm at the Rosemount Hotel. Entry is free, so get along and show some love for your hometown movers and shakers.
