The Amsterdam Westerunie is still busy repairing its floor of all damage done last Armada Night edition, on January 30th. But no worries, by the time the next Armada beats fill the room, there’ll be plenty of square meters to do your thing on. Saturday May 29th, Armada Night returns to Westerunie. And you bet – Armada Music will make you move.
So it’s the 7th Annual Hard Dance Awards voting time. It seems the categories have changed a bit to be more region specific which really makes no sense at all and seems to be a ploy to try to add more categories to the awards. My suggestion for next year maybe also add categories for DJ and Producers that also divides them up my hair or eye color and maybe age or Mac or PC preferrence. Best US DJ with Black Hair, Brown Eyes Over 21 on a PC…ME!! But anyway, go vote so some DJs can increase the rates they are currently charging after they win. Where’s my whistle crew?

The ultimate guide to the dance music industry
It’s a competitive game – dance music. Millions of people are striving to break through but only a select few ever make it to the top of the pyramid.

Probably not.
