10 iconic DJ Harvey moments
Dance music's last rock 'n' roll star
His 'Outstanding Contribution Award'
Back in 2014, Harvey was the chosen recipient of DJ Awards ‘Outstanding Contribution Award’. Awarded for his industry influence within EDM and his extensive body of work, he took to Facebook afterwards to thank his fans, claiming: “This ones for you lot out there to remind you to follow your wildest dreams.”
Being voted 10th in Rolling Stone's top 25 DJs list
Let’s be clear, this was not the most headsy list. Tiesto, Swedish House Mafia, Avicii, Kaskade, David Guetta, Diplo and Skrillex populate the top 10 and while they’re clearly popular individuals who can DJ, it offers a pretty narrow view of dance music. Fair play though, Rolling Stone aren’t an electronic music magazine. But if there’s one DJ out there who fits into the rock n’ roll ethos that Rolling Stone once championed, it’s DJ Harvey. We’re glad they picked up on that.
