The Awards, which have been run each year since 1994, were presented at a gala event, held at the InterContinental London Park Lane hotel. And following the Ministry of Sound's recent success in the premier international IDMA's in Miami, Pacha was rewarded for their recent £500,000 refit which has seen them extend to a third, soundproofed Glass Room on the first floor as part of a complete club redesign earlier this year.
During the refurb, the Martin Audio WT3/WS218X system, installed back in 2008 by Bernard Mani's Systems Etc was reconfigured and enhanced by Viba Sound, with their project manager Hugh Sadleir adding a pair of WSX subs to complement the flown Martin Audio Blackline top boxes in the new dedicated space.
Meanwhile the first floor Global Room is in the process of doubling in size across the original void and downstairs the main room has had its DJ booth repositioned, so that it has now become a focal point - in full view of the gallery above.
Said operations director Gemma Ross, "With a 500-capacity second room, the new configuration now gives us the possibility of having two promoters in on the same night."
