After a four year hiatus, the DJ Awards returned Wednesday (Oct. 2) in Ibiza, with a flurry of DJs and industry execs being honored in the ceremony at island venue Chinois. Awards were handed out by the hosts of the show, Jaguar of BBC Radio 1 and presenter Katie Knight.

Voting for these artist awards was open to the public. See the complete artist winners list below.
In the industry awards, producer Luciano won the Ibiza Icon award, Adam Port and Stryv track “Move Feat.
