Organisés chaque année en marge de la Winter Music Conference de Miami, les International Music Awards sont censés faire le bilan de l’année écoulée, et en récompenser les principaux acteurs...
Assez éloignés des courants qui font la réalité des scénes européennes (techno minimale, electro, drum’n’bass...), les IDMA sont très américanisés et la ribambelle de deejays stars habituels (Carl Cox, Tiesto, Sasha..) truste la liste des nominations.
On peut éventuellement se demander à quoi sert ce genre de cérémonie quand on voit que l’award du "Best Underground Track" concerne Roger Sanchez, Mousse-T et Paul Oakenfold, ou que la catégorie "Best Breaks/Electro Track" est dominée par Jamiroquai et celle "Reggaeton" par Shakira...
Un bon point quand même : le vote est ouvert au public sur cette page.
