At the end of the Ibiza season, the annual DJ Awards are concluded in the grand settings of Pacha. The awards aim to recognize the talent, popularity and cultural significance of today’s DJs and technologies. The Mp3 category represents the significant innovations within DJ technology – and incidentally also the category that Pacemaker won.
We are extra happy to celebrate this win as we are sharing it with fellow winners; good friends and Pacemaker owners such as Richie Hawtin (Techno), David Guetta (House), Steve Lawler (Tech-House), Adam Beyer (Minimal), Deadmau5 (Electro House).
Congrats dear friends!
The world’s most prestigious DJ Tech Awards was concluded during the BPM Show in Donington Park on October 18-19, 2008. The top category is the “Most Innovative New DJ Product”, and after an extensive online nomination process where the global DJ community was invited to select the finalists, we were invited to come to duel at the Park.
We loaded our pockets and flew off to battle the giants Pioneer and Denon. After a fierce live-on-stage performance face-off, the judges deliberated briefly before settling on a verdict. Wait for it... Yep. 4 out of 5 judges ruled Pacemaker as the winner!
Hats off.

The highly anticipated 10 coolest gadgets in the world list is compiled by gadget experts at Stuff magazine and the 2007 list was exclusively unveiled at futuristic London nightclub 24. Stuff’s Editor-in-Chief Tom Dunmore commented:
“Gadgets are getting more stylish and more desirable every year. This year’s list is packed with must-have Christmas gifts that are so beautifully designed, and such a joy to use, that they’ll appeal to techno- phobes as well as gadget lovers. One of the best MP3 DJing gadgets we’ve seen in a long time, the Tonium Pacemaker easily nabbed the number three spot” (second only to the iPhone and the Leica M8.)
Thanx Stuff! Love you right back.
