It is, without a doubt, the most prestigious hard dance party on the face of the planet. Thousands of you will flood through the doors of the BRIXTON ACADEMY on FEBRUARY 24th 2007 to see the cr?me de la cr?me of DJ talent take to the stage for the star studded HARD DANCE AWARDS 2006.

It goes without saying that you will be joined on the floor by all your favourite DJs, whether they?re accepting a prize or playing ? or both! But who will be doing the presenting?

Event organiser and the man behind the whole show, ED REAL is your host with the most alongside a mouth watering selection of industry characters lending a helping hand.

In a change from previous years, the ceremony itself will be split up into three 15 minutes sections. LISA LASHES & ANDY FARLEY, ANNE SAVAGE and ROB TISSERA, and the TIDY BOYS will each have a quarter of an hour to present a clutch of these highly sought after awards in between some stunning live acts and DJ sets.

The Awards will be voted for online by the entire clubbing community ? so you can have your say when it comes to who wins what. Voting will go live in the next few weeks, but just to get your juices running, here?s the list of gongs up for grabs?
