3D World (Australia)

Last updated

3D World was an Australian street press publication for the dance music community.

Contents

After being founded in Sydney in 1989, [1] [2] ownership of the publication changed hands several times before publication shut down in 2011. [3] [4] [5]

It was superseded by Three Magazine, another publication by Street Press Australia Pty Ltd, which "was born out of the ashes of 3D World" in August 2011. [6]

Australian Dance Music Awards

3DWorld Publishing founded the Australian Dance Music Awards (DMA) to recognise achievements by musicians in dance music as well as hip-hop, which was then considered underground. [7] [8]

Nominees in each category were selected by a panel from the music industry, and then voted on by the general public to determine the winners. [7] [9] Awards ceremonies featured DJ set performances from various artists, such as DJ Ajax. [10]

By 2006, it was regarded as "Australia's longest running, biggest and best dance music awards." [11] No award show was held 2004-2005. [9] [12] When they returned in 2006, the awards were called The Allen & Heath Dance Music Awards, and were still sponsored by 3D World. [13]
