It's The HarderFaster Awards 2007! Has your choice won?
Reported by HarderFaster
/
Submitted 08-02-08 13:08
With extra votes this year, the run in was exciting as DJs, brands, tracks and members all jostled for position. With bribes, lies, attempted cheats and a flurry of god knows how many PMs and emails, we were left at the end with a set of results that has remained under lock and key until now. This is the HarderFaster Members Awards 2007!!
With some very silly people wasting their votes by submitting pointless answers, it was left to the more clued up members to let their voices be heard and didn’t they do well. The spread of answers were as always like our board and its members, diverse and filled with surprises.
Of course the one member who voted for BK – Revolution as best track is either stuck in their ways or maybe they’re just quick to trying to think .
Some other members seemed a bit stuck in their ways too with votes for new tracks, events and venues that are already getting on a bit, but who are we to argue if you really do like it.
We’d also like to say thank you to all those that voted TT and The HF Xmas Party as your favourite event!
However as always their can only be one winner, well as long as there’s not a tie, so on we go people to the main event, the winners of this years awards, along with honourable mentions for those we felt deserving!
Each winner has obviously captured your interest and long may that continue, so come with us as we tip our hats to the best that 2007 had to offer.
Clubs
HarderFaster Club Night of the Year 2007
Which was the best overall promotion of the year?
Winner: Zoology
Runners up last year and moving in to the top spot this year! Whoever said you have to be big to be big?
HarderFaster After Party of the Year 2007
Straight from the club to the afterparty... or maybe you made it the main event?
Winner: Twist
Maybe it’s been the concentration on quality over quantity this year for the nomadic afterparty. Another tick in the box for the irrepressible Twist
Honourable mentions to Baklash, Sunrise and Breakfast Club.
HarderFaster Day Party of the Year 2007
When you wanted a daytime party which event took your fancy?

Honourable mention for Ascendance.
Choons 'n Labels

HarderFaster Remix of the Year 2007
This year's best remix of an old track?
Winner: Adrenaline Dept – U Got 2 Be There (MDA & Spherical remix)
It nearly won the best track but it seems the remix had just the right touches to take it through to the finish line, another success for the duo signed to Oblivion!
Honourable mention to Adam White and Ballerina 2007 (Last years winner got a full release!)
HarderFaster Album of the Year 2007
Which DJ mixed album was the best of the year?

HarderFaster Label of the Year 2007

Producers
HarderFaster Producer of the Year 2007
This year's top producer
Joint Winners: Technikal and MDA & Spherical

Honourable mentions to Adam White and Ben Gold.
HarderFaster New Producer of the Year 2007
Which producer emerging this year has shown the most talent?
Winner: Deadmau5
Showing you lot know a bit more about music that just hard dance, this prolific Canadian has certainly impressed with 14 releases in 2007. His sound almost typifies the tech-trance-electro-house crossover that looks to dominate the world in 2008.
Honourable mentions to Tom Parr, Batten & Brow and HiFreak1c
HarderFaster Remixer of the Year 2007
