It was a huge night for electronic music--and it's artists--as the 2014 Grammy Awards nominations were released. The complete list--which by the way, is a LONG read--showcased the singers, bands, producers and other artists from the world of music who have been considered for the most prestigious award in the industry.
With almost every big name from the world of music--such as Jay Z, Justin Timberlake, Bruno Mars, Taylor Swift, Katy Perry--up for an award, having such a huge list from the dance music industry included is a fantastic achievement. In the world of dance music; Daft Punk, Sultan + Ned Shepard, Armin Van Burren, Disclosure, Zedd, Calvin Harris, Alesso, Cedric Gervais were all in the running.
Clubplanet would like to take this opportunity to congratulate each and everyone of them for doing such a great job in taking our scene, which has been under so much scrutiny this year in the press, and gaining such outstanding achievements by being included in the Grammy Awards.
Well done and good luck to each and every one of you. You all deserve it.
