Produced by Merqury Republic, the 12th edition is partnering with Joy Prime as the official media partner.

The headline sponsor, Guinness Ghana, also shared a word of appreciation to support the event for the second time.
The marketing manager for the Spirit and RTDs category of the company, Nana Yaa Amoah Owusu, who spoke at the launch, mentioned that their major aim for this year is to promote female DJs.
“DJs are the life of the party, and our flagship brand, Smirnoff, is also the life of the party, and that is the reason why we have partnered with this platform. For this year, we definitely want to put a spotlight on the female DJ fraternity while also ensuring that overall we’re helping to build capacity,” she said.
For this, they will be holding an all-female DJ concert to uncover and celebrate the dexterity of females in the sector.
She called on corporate Ghana to rally their support behind the initiative so it can be expanded and recognised globally.
Like the past editions, this year’s awards promise to be better and more thrilling with the line-up activities.
The coordinator for Merqury Republic, David Quaye, pointed out experiences fans should anticipate as the main event approaches.
This year’s activities include the Pub Festival, which allows the organizers journey to other regions outside Greater Accra to discover talented DJs in the selected regions. The Ghana DJ Clinic is the educational arm of the awards scheme that empowers DJs through conferences and other educational programmes.
The coordinator revealed that the board has reintroduced the regional category, which was cancelled in 2020 due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

In a dazzling display of musical prowess, Ghanaian singer Lamar has just dropped his latest single titled “Don Jazzy.”
The song, which has already started to make waves, is a celebration of life but also a tribute to the legendary Nigerian music producer and entrepreneur, Don Jazzy.
“I wrote Don Jazzy 2 years ago and recorded it on my iPhone notes. It originally was a freestyle and later on this year I decided to work on it as a full song. I just loved the way Don Jazzy carries himself as a music mogul and what he’s done for African music in general. I figured he’s a bit like me… the “ don’t like no stress” literally came from the fact of being tired during my working hours cause I was working from home and still listening to beats and strings so I just matched the energy I was in,” Lamar shared.
Don Jazzy is the first release of 2024 for the Belgium-based singer, as he collaborated with his producers Simao. The production of the song is top-notch, with Lamar working closely with a team of talented producers to ensure that every element of the track reflects Don Jazzy’s influence. The result is a polished, energetic anthem that resonates with fans of both artists.
“I linked up with the producers Simao, 3 brothers who produce music and are responsible for the hit “Go Bebe”. We instantly clicked and became like brothers and went on to create a whole EP, plus, more in less than 2 months. In Belgium they sit on the top when it comes to afrobeats production”
The song also marks the beginning of his musical year, and fans should be expecting more songs with a possibility of an EP dropping.
“This year I’m gonna bring out some more music, I was in artist development for a year and so I’m hungry and motivated to show the world what I’ve been working on and who knows an EP might drop”.
Lamar, known for songs like Gbe Su Momi, Aunty Julie, and Trust her kind, after a brief hiatus is back and ready for the world.
