Holy crap, I forgot that Damage Control came out on Nov 5 last year. I could swear it was older than that.

Those nominations are pretty spot on. Would definitely have nominated Shiba San - Okay over Clean Bandit tho.

Ten Walls would be my pick also. (Still need to listen to Caribou)


My pick would have been Deep Dish. Loved their chunky tech/house mix

Thanks for getting this started! I'll start compiling my list, although unfortunately I don't think I'll be able to fill out 5 for each category... We'll see though, I'll spend some time digging through my playlists. :)

Are we counting

BEST ALBUM/EP-

for only non mixed 100% self produced albums?

or does stuff like-

or

count?


(I am assuming "Best mix" is for live mixes?)

I feel like Best Album can refer to any album, even compilation albums. But if people want to limit it to only self-produced albums then I'm OK with that too.

On board that Mat Zo bandwagon.

New City Gas in Montreal is a nice spot from what I remember of Saturday night. Joachim Garraud and his damn keytar man.

Well unfortunately I haven't been able to finish the track (it's a remix) I've been working on before leaving for the winter break, and back at home I'm not going to have all the required necessities (such as an acoustically treated room) to completely finish it. My winter break is a month long so that means I'm probably looking at a late January release.

This is the first track I'm putting out to internet forums and what not because my previous alias was my real name, which for obvious reasons I didn't feel comfortable sharing. I don't even know if I'd classify this as EDM, I definitely took some influence from it but I would say it's more synthpop.

I'm really looking forward to finally sharing it, it's the most beautiful track I've ever produced, trying to polish it to a fine point because past releases were always rushed by deadlines or something.

Excited for Tiesto, Jack U and GTA. David Guetta sucks now but his shows are always fun anyway.

Who else should I be excited for, going by that lineup?

Based on who you said you were excited to see, I'd say 3LAU, Tommy Trash, and Dillon Francis.

If it were me I'd be stoked to see the trance DJs and some of the DnB guys too :D

Also, after looking through it again I missed some guys. I'd definitely check out Claude Vonstroke, Sasha, and Laidback Luke. Maybe Datsik and Excision if you like dubstep/bass music.

Datsik!!!!! Dude is a beast. I've seen him several times and he kills it if you like straight heavy dubstep. His newer stuff is more trap/hip hop.

I'm actually going to be in Puerto Vallarta starting March 1, so close, yet so far...

Never seen him, not a big fan, but he's going to be in Cancun on New Years Eve when I'm in a nearby resort area for my honeymoon. Prices out to be roughly $150 US per person. Feels like a mandatory night out.

Gentlemen, time to all pitch in for new years.

Hakkasan Charging $500,000 Bottle Service For Calvin Harris NYE Event

New Year's Eve events have always been synonymous with opulence. NYE EDM shows in particular often come with egregious price tags, most notably seen last year with Miami superclub LIV's expensive Tiesto show. To help bring in the new year, mammoth Vegas club Hakkasan unveiled their "Dynastie Package" for their upcoming event with Calvin Harris. Guests who spend $500,000 will receive the following:

  • The guest's name flashing on the main screen during a confetti drop.
  • A 30-liter Midas by Armand de Brignac served by a model cocktail waitress.
  • An exclusive championship belt.
  • A gold disc signed by Calvin Harris.
  • Diamond cuff links and a diamond necklace.
Eva Shaw and Burns will open for Harris, and Ruckus will play in the club's Ling Ling Room. While the bottle service comes with an extraordinary price tag, general admission tickets run $175 for females and $325 for males before fees. With Harris being paid $1 million to perform recently, it should come as no surprise that his NYE event would come with a steep tag. It will be interesting to see how competiting clubs respond in an attempt to one-up the competition with even more egregious services.


The Dynastie Package bottle service is also available on December 30 with Hardwell and January 1 with Tiesto.

I think what's even more shocking is that it costs $325 for males BEFORE FEES to even get into the club. Holy shit.

Plus Hakkasan was a nightmare when I tried going for Calvin Harris on a regular Friday night let alone on fucking new year's

EDIT: Just to be clear because some other people I showed this to misunderstood it - Calvin generally doesn't earn 1 million per year. The article is misleading, that was for a private event once.

Whoa whoa, why is an Arty set nominated for best live set? Was it amazing? I need to check this out. And Mat Zo's trance set has to win, cause I mean, cmon now.

God help me I am loving Calvin Harris - Pray To God. Good stuff!

Haha no those are just my nominations! I just really like Arty and thought it was a great set. Was on youtube, but has been taken down for some reason. Sure it will be on mixcloud.

Speaking of which people, please feel free to do your nominations! Lurker/regular/whoever....all the categories haven't got to be filled out to the max.

I gotta say. The Grammy's nominations for EDM were pretty good overall. Especially considering how shit the "mainstream" nominations were.
