Paris
Takes Best Celebrity DJ Award; Precision
Guided Musicians Explode With Collaborative
World Exclusive; Blue Man Group Light
Up The Night With Thundering Show Finale
Miami,
Florida – Wednesday March 10th 2004:
With its bold collaborations and attendance
lined with Hollywood’s glitterati,
last night’s DanceStar USA 2004
– The Third Annual American Dance
Music Awards - showed the world why
it has become the master of all ceremonies
and the world’s most prestigious
electronic music event.
Sizzling
temptress Paris Hilton dazzled
the world’s media as she arrived
in downtown Miami with host Carmen
Electra by her side to accept the
award for Best Celebrity DJ.
Wearing
a classic draped couture style dress by
Jennifer Nicholson, Hilton joined co-presenters
The Jungle Brothers and DJ Rap
on stage and commented: I am so excited
to be presented with my first DanceStar
award. I like spinning at house parties
and Miami is without a doubt my favorite
party town. I am so excited to be part
of DanceStar USA this year.
The
night’s big winners were Paul
Van Dyk who scooped three awards for
Best International DJ, Best Event and
his collaborative effort with DJ Colette
and Felix Da Housecat for Motorola’s
global advertising campaign won him Best
Use Of Music In A TV Commercial. The
Crystal Method also ran away with
three awards including Best Act, Best
Album Legion Of Boom and Best Single
Born Too Slow. Renowned DJ duo
and Grammy winners Deep Dish took
home two awards including the prestigious
Best DJ award and Best Compilation. Carl
Cox and Frankie Knuckles took
to the stage to present Moby with
a special award for Outstanding Contribution
To Dance Music.
The
show began with a performance by Precision
Guided Musicians – a world exclusive
collaboration by Perry Farrell,
Moby and Paul Van Dyk who
stunned the audience with an electronic
reworking of Lou Reed’s classic track
Walk On The Wild Side. The Crystal
Method took to the stage with their
lively electro-rock number Born Too
Slow while former N-Sync front
man JC Chasez pleased the 4,000
strong crowd with his current track Some
Girls (Dance With Women). Other performances
included the UK’s popular Audio
Bullys who performed a medley of Snake
and Real Life. Motorcycle
performed their best seller As The
Rush Comes, but it was the amazing
Blue Man Group that provided a
mouth-watering finale of the classic track
I Feel love as the sky was lit
with an amazing firework display.
Andy Ruffell, DanceStar Founder and CEO
commented on the show:
This year we feel the show has a much
wider appeal as we have introduced a number
of popular but credible mainstream acts
that remain relevant to the electronic
music genre. The unique performance by
Precision Guided Musicians shows how effective
collaborations are between popular A-list
artists and cutting-edge electronic music
acts. With the likes of Carmen Electra,
Paris Hilton and JC Chasez as an integral
part of the show, this year’s DanceStar
USA will be exciting to broadcasters and
audiences around the world.

Congratulations
to MOBY who has been named winner
of the award for Outstanding Contribution
To American Dance Music. Moby, who
attended DanceStar USA in Miami to collect
his award, says:
I
am proud and honored to be accorded this
recognition by DanceStar and the electronic
music industry in America. I understand
this is the most prestigious award at
the annual event and that means a lot
to me. I've been involved in dance music
since 1984 (almost twenty years!) and
it's great that there is finally a TV
event like DanceStar showcasing the music's
continued development.
