“The Beatport Music Awards aims to recognize electronic music talent. With nominees based solely on 2008 unit sales from Beatport.com, the awards are broken down by music genre.

There are 35 categories altogether: Best Artists (separated into 17 genres), Best Track (17 genres, with both originals and remixes), and a final open question asking the public to name the ‘most influential, relevant and forward-thinking person in electronic music in 2008’.”
