“This nomination is a dream come true. We’ve always believed in the power of African music to unite people, and to be recognised on this scale is a win not just for us, but for every artist pushing the sound of the continent forward,” said the Major League DJz in a joint statement.

The 23rd edition, which is under new ownership and investment, promises to continue its tradition of celebrating global DJ culture.

DJ Awards owner, Andy Grant said: “Music has power – the power to unite us, to cheer us up, to give us the chills, to instantly remind us of a long lost memory, to create a vibe, to set a mood, or to even motivate change.

“That is why we have chosen the theme of ‘Unity’ for the DJ Awards 2024 reboot with the launch of our Best Dancefloor Memory user generated competition which will see everyone everywhere share their top memories via Instagram, and our panel of judges will select someone from any corner of the globe to come to Ibiza and collect a genuine DJ Award that they can keep on the mantelpiece forever.”
