Global Spin Awards

The Global Spin Awards 2015, brought to you by REVOLT, is an annual awards show that recognizes the world's most dynamic and influential DJs for their remarkable contributions to the music industry. First launched in 2012 by Shawn Prez, a long time Bad Boy Records executive, the award ceremony aims to celebrate the DJs whose talent, innovation, and passion are often overshadowed, despite creating the soundtrack to our lives.

The 2015 edition of the Global Spin Awards was something to behold, a palpable thrill stirring the air, as it brings together industry professionals, music lovers, and vibrant creatives under one roof. Up-and-coming DJs, longtime legends, and music artists from all genres convene to commemorate the unappreciated past and the thriving present of the DJ culture.

The entire mood of the show mirrors a high-end gala, spliced with urban chic aesthetics. Each aspect of the production — from the show's set, the performers, even down to the presenters — flawlessly lends to the main theme: honoring the unseen heroes behind the turntables.

The awards ceremony in 2015 was made up of numerous categories, each designed to encapsulate the diversity and breadth of the DJ community. From mixtape DJ of the year to EDM DJ of the year, the Global Spin Awards captures the spirit of various different scenes, reflecting just how far-reaching the craft of DJing has become. The selection process is as rigorous as it is fair, with an intensive voting system that includes a panel of industry experts who carefully listen and analyses each DJ's work before casting their votes.

This year's installment does not fail to deliver a star-studded lineup, running the gamut from hip hop artists to pop singers. Throughout the event, viewers can expect high-energy performances that keep the atmosphere electric, staying true to the art form it celebrates. With surprise guest appearances that often send ripples of excitement through the crowd, it is quite the spectacle of the year for the global DJ community.

Not only does the 2015 Global Spin Awards celebrate DJs' creative accomplishments, but it also acknowledges their influences on fashion, lifestyle, and culture. With the rise of DJ culture and electronic dance music, DJs have become significant influencers outside of the music, and all these angles are highlighted and praised in the awards show.

Most importantly, the empathy and respect for this relatively unsung corner of the music industry become the cornerstone of each year's production. It gives DJs, who are vital figures in the music industry but are often marginalised, a moment to take center stage, to shine, to reflect on their career, to celebrate their profession, and to network with like-minded individuals.

Beyond just an awards ceremony, the Global Spin Awards is a key industry event in itself. It acts as a social hub and professional networking platform, empowering DJs to connect with industry leaders, record label bosses, and reputed music artists from across the world.

Viewers tuning in, whether DJs, music enthusiasts or casual watchers, can expect a compelling alignment of outstanding performances, heartfelt speeches, and exclusive backstage access – all packed into a lyrical homage to the DJs who’ve dedicated their lives to the artistry of music.

In summation, REVOLT's 2015 Global Spin Awards is an audacious celebration of the craft, sweat, and soul that DJs worldwide pour into their work. It works to recalibrate the scales, putting the spotlight squarely on the DJs themselves, the true architects of the world's soundtrack. Despite being a relatively young award ceremony, its growth, vision, and drive serve as a testament to the growing reverence for the DJ community. This innovative tribute to the unsung heroes of the music world is a spectacle unlike any other, where recognition, camaraderie, and love for music take precedence above all.
