Another year, another season in Ibiza! While we’re all shivering down here in Australia the Europeans – and those antipodeans with enough foresight to arrange a holiday to somewhere a little warmer – are living it up on the famed white island. Every year exactly who is and isn’t making an impact on Ibiza club-goers proves to be a hot topic. The Ibiza DJ Awards aim to bring some clarity to the discussion, and in 2010 they celebrate their 13th year so they have to be doing something right.

The winners will be announced at the end of the 2010 season, at an event held at Pacha on Tuesday September 28th. Ahead of the results, however, nominations have been revealed so we can all start surmising who’ll be likely to take honours across the various categories. All the tried and tested names are featured, from A (Armin) to Z (Zabiela), so often it’s of more interest to look to the lesser publicised categories for an insight into who has been making inroads.
