"This year the concept of dreams have been chosen as the theme of the DJ Awards 2009. Dreams are much more than a frivolous sideshow to the defragmentation of our minds during hours of rest; some dreams, for example, are the visions of a better future. From the lucid dreaming of Tibetan monks to the mysterious dreamtime of the Australian aboriginals; dreaming have grown to become a highly sophisticated expression of our ancestral cultural in heritage."
"This year we draw our full attention to the degradation of the environment upon which we all depend. As we give our respect to the DJ’s who have provided all the music, we must likewise respect the planet that have provided for us in abundance from time immemorial."
"We celebrate the idea of time. Whether lineal or circular, time is a constant that cannot be measured against anything in the known universe. We turn to the surrealist work of Dali whose mastery of visions deconstructs the illusion of time in from of our very eyes."
"This year we celebrate nature as an inspiration to the arts. The craftsmanship behind the building blocks of the known universe is beyond the flair of our greatest artist.."
"The valve creation brought about the very first aspects of electronic circuitry. Thanks to its creation we have the digital format today which have enabled us to super humanize ourselves instead of dehumanizing yourselves in the face of the industrial rise and humongous calculations. This year we celebrate the 100th anniversary of the invention of the valve."
"We only know what the senses have taught us. Without the sense we cannot make sense of anything. The senses are the driving force behind all the world and our interaction with everything that surround usf "
"Everything is spinning: Planets, galaxies and vinyl. To turn and fly is the life of all things in this world, to live in the present is to spin. The truth is evident for both dancer and earth itself "
"The use of this material is still going strong amongst the elite of DJ’s, regardless of its weight, vulnerability and inaccessibility. This is the giant that would never lie down to sleep. "
" Since the dawn of the greatest thinkers of the western world have the muses been know to transcend thoughts, space and time, in what come to be known as the building bricks of all ideas of man: Inspiration."
"Electronic dance music is heavily rooted in the shamanic hypnosis of repetition. This trance inducing aspect originated in the tribal rhythms of deepest Africa, where the truth, like a mantra, only needs to be repeated for the dance to soar to higher states of conciousness."
