While this is more general music news rather than electronic dance music news, it does deal somewhat with EDM with certain award categories. Obviously, 95% of these are extremely predictable – Daft Punk, Daft Punk, Avicii, Daft Punk. While I am glad that they won more awards, I just wish it was a bit more diverse category. While they have made fantastic music and I can’t hate to think that there is some competition to their music. Perhaps they are in another category of their own. I don’t know. I’m rambling. Check out the winners of all the categories.
