LAS VEGAS – Trance DJ Christopher Lawrence was named the 2008 winner of the America's Best DJ contest on Tuesday, September 2, during a ceremony at Rouge at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Lawrence was presented with a gold medal and a gold-plated Pioneer DJM-800 mixer – the only one in existence. Turntablist legend DJ Qbert took the silver, and DJ/rock star DJ Skribble took the bronze.

The ceremony was the culmination of a four-month contest and tour, presented by Pioneer Pro DJ and DJ Times magazine. Since June, the top 100 DJs in America – as selected by the editors of DJ Times – have solicited their fans to vote for them, both online at www.americasbestdj.net, and at 40 official ABDJ events at nightclubs and festivals nationwide. By the time the polls closed on August 16, over 35,000 had voted.

Following the presentation of the 'America's Best DJ Award', Lawrence thanked his booking agents Paul Morris and Ali at AM Only, his wife and manager Sara Finlayson, and most importantly, the fans for their votes.

A complete list of the rankings for 'America's Best DJ' will be released shortly by DJ Times.

America's Best DJ will be the latest title Los Angeles' Christopher Lawrence can add to a resume that includes Best DJ at the Dancestar US Awards and Best American DJ at the International Dance Music Awards in 2005. Lawrence was also voted the 4th DJ in the world by DJ Magazine's prestigious 'Top 100' poll for 2006, but was excluded from 2007 voting due to heavy voting irregularities.
