Nominations for the 2015 Grammy Awards are in and this year’s short list is a mix of nods to established stars (Tiësto, Kaskade, deadmau5, Basement Jaxx), pioneers on the fringe (Aphex Twin, Eddie Amador) and newcomers (Clean Bandit, Duke Dumont, Galantis, Mat Zo).
Daft Punk was nominated for their contribution to Pentatonix’s PTX, Vol. 2.
We’re still mulling over the list, so watch this space for feedback.
In the meantime, those you care about such awards shows should keep in mind that the 57th annual Grammy Awards will take place on February 8, 2015.
