There are a TON of grammy awards given out that you never hear about on TV or in press...including some that involve EDM areas...

Deep Dish won one in 2002 for Best Remixed Recording, Non-Classical in "Dido - Thank You (Deep Dish Vocal Remix) "

Roger Sanchez won in 2001 for the same award with No Doubt - Hella Good (Roger Sanchez Remix Main)

Not sure if Timo won this year, but he was nominated in the same are for Tori Amos - "Don't Make Me Come to Vegas
(Timo on Tori)"

Originally posted by TigerClaw You have a point there, Dance music has been around since the 70s and its deserves its own catagory even if it had cheesey type of dance music.

As has been said, there was a dance award, it went to kylie, it just wasn't broadcast...

And i agree with spinstar, whoever said it would promote drug use...grow a brain please

Because it's completely against the origins of edm: it wasn't about God-DJ's or the most skilled producers. This bastardised side of EDM is part of pop culture, which influenced edm in the latter half of the 90's.

Sincerely, instead of having the grammies, we should stop having that 100 top DJ's polls and avoid creating "icons".

my thoughts exactly wed get fuckin sammy or some crap like that nominated for best dance act *shudder*

So what im saying its just a matter of time before they get the reconition & have thier own Grammy catagory

So that would mean seeing PvD, Ferry, or AvB spinning their 'best dance remix record of the year' nominated tune?

The grammy's is all about entertainment. With trance/EDM you really can't convey that sort of entertainment to the masses (unless they open up the stage as a dance floor )

Besides, who would want to hear the orchestra playing the winner of such catagory?

A live orchestra doing the breakdown to Suburban Train or Airwave or any other epic trance songs with string-based breakdowns would sound sick, you know it!

And why exactly would edm want to be affiliated with the commercial crap the Grammy's encourage?

Its not like there are nominations for classical music either, the Grammy's are purely for commercial music for the masses.

I think trance is best as a non-mainstream style, I wouldn't wanna see my favourite producers being nominated for Grammies.

Actually, there are categories for classical music. They just don't air it cuz it would bore the hell out of the tv audience.
