In anul 1998 Jose Pascual organiza prima editie a Ibiza DJ Awards, un eveniment in care erau recompensati producatorii, Dj si evenimentele din muzica electronica. Anul acesta gazda evenimentului a fost clubul Pacha, din Ibiza, ceremonia fiind prezentata de rezidentul Hed Kandi, Des Paul.
DJ Awards nu este o competitie, este un omagiu adus celor care au contribuit, prin activitatea lor, la dezvoltarea si promovarea muzicii electronice. Anul acesta au existat 19 categorii pentru care publicul a avut posibilitatea sa voteze, de la cel mai bun artist house, pana la cel mai important festival de muzica electronica.
