3D World was an Australian street press publication for the dance music community.
After being founded in Sydney in 1989,[1][2] ownership of the publication changed hands several times before publication shut down in 2011.[3][4][5]
It was superseded by Three Magazine, another publication by Street Press Australia Pty Ltd, which "was born out of the ashes of 3D World" in August 2011.[6]
Australian Dance Music Awards
edit3DWorld Publishing founded the Australian Dance Music Awards (DMA) to recognise achievements by musicians in dance music as well as hip-hop, which was then considered underground.[7][8]
Nominees in each category were selected by a panel from the music industry, and then voted on by the general public to determine the winners.[7][9] Awards ceremonies featured DJ set performances from various artists, such as DJ Ajax.[10]
By 2006, it was regarded as "Australia's longest running, biggest and best dance music awards."[11] No award show was held 2004-2005.[9][12] When they returned in 2006, the awards were called The Allen & Heath Dance Music Awards, and were still sponsored by 3D World.[13]

Electro house and mash-ups never sounded as exciting and edgy in anyone else's hands and for a few years I was lucky enough to see Ajax and his cohorts play sterling, jaw-bruising sets everywhere from the 3D World Dance Music Awards in Sydney…
