House Music Awards 2005 Nominees

[method77]

House Music Awards were created for music lovers and clubbers the world over. Launching at the 2004 Miami Winter Music Conference, House Music Awards very quickly captured the imagination of a huge underground collective. From March to September 04, over 14,500 music lovers from all over the globe registered and voted online - shouting their support of the Awards and the Music. Progress was followed and news items featured on websites the world over, and international standing was demonstrated by the world's press from Washington to Johannesburg: including CNN, MTV, Time Out, Metro, the Sunday Times, Arena and Reuters.

House Music Awards are decided entirely by the people that live & love the music - unlike other awards, everyone has the chance to nominate and vote for their favourite DJ, Producer or club night.

Wonderful.

It's a "who has the best fake, machine generated, repetitive" music contest.

[DudeAsInCool]

Wonderful.

Too bad - you are missing out on some great stuff. It's not fake - electronica isnt all machines - and it's extremely sophisticated. In fact, as far as Im concerned, it's the best music being produced today

Wonderful.

So that means that if they gave you their equipment, you would make what they make? I don't think so.

A guitar is a dead thing until someone makes nice noices from it. Same with the machine you mention. No difference.
