There is perhaps no better reflection of the character of a given year in music than the Grammy Awards. Charting its 62nd annual ceremony this evening at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, “the biggest night in music” will bear witness to performances from some of the largest acts in the industry, while duly recognizing some of the most highly celebrated releases of the year.
On the electronic end, The Chemical Brothers swept the Grammys’ two dance/electronic focused categories, taking home the award for Best Dance/Electronic Album for No Geography, and Best Dance Recording for “Got To Keep On.”
Fellow Best Dance/Electronic Album nominees included Apparat’s LP5, RÜFÜS DU SOL’s SOLACE, Tycho’s Weather, and Flume’s visual odyssey Hi, This Is Flume. Bonobo’s “Linked,” Meduza’s “Piece Of Your Heart,” RÜFÜS DU SOL’s “Underwater,” The Chemical Brothers’ “Got To Keep On,” and Skrillex, Ty Dolla $ign, and Boys Noize’s “Midnight Hour” collaboration were all up for Best Dance Recording.
Dancing Astronaut will update the list of Grammy nominees to display the winner for each major category as the results are announced.
