House Music Awards to launch for 2011

South Africa has the biggest house music market per capita on the planet, with international DJs and producers jetting in weekly to soak up our sounds, rev up (and be revered by) our crowds and to collaborate with our sparkling tune-smiths.

In recognition of this, BBB Music is putting together a thumping party in recognition of our beat brilliance. The House Music Awards will award excellence in the following 15 categories:

• Album Of The Year
  
• Artist Of The Year
  
• Best DJ Compilation
  
• Best Male
  
• Best Female
  
• Best Remix
  
• Song Of The Year
  
• Best New Artist
  
• Best Selling Album
  
• Best Selling Download
  
• Best Music Video
  
• Best Engineered Album
  
• Producer Of The Year
  
• Best CD Artwork
  
• Best New DJ

There'll also be a Special Contribution Award.

Bass Breaks & Beats will assemble an expert panel of house-savvy enthusiasts to decide who the gongs will go to and the South African public will get a chance to have their say when the nomination phase opens up - details will be available soon.
