Every year the DJ Awards has a theme. This year’s is Water – we hope that the focus will help to highlight the imminent water-shortages around the world.

The Water theme is reflected in the artwork of the 13th Edition DJ Awards CD compilation featuring the top tunes of the 2010 season in their original, unmixed DJ-friendly versions.
