With all these grammy awards and what not going around and seeing they have all these music awards, why dont they have one for electronica music. I think trance producers deserve such things because they put in as much work as those that produce other genres of music. Someone should start an online awards system for starters... opinions?


think about it, in the near future you see many of the top DJ's and producers recieving awards, giving their speeches and having live shows like how they do in other music awards.
