Above & Beyond And More Score Grammy Nominations

[News]

What a year 2018 has been for dance music! Some incredible music was released, and the GRAMMYs have chosen some of this year’s best tracks for their 2019 nominations.

The nominees for the 61st edition of the Grammy Awards were announced this morning. Some of the notable nominees include trance group Above & Beyond for their uplifting track, Northern Soul off their album, Common Ground,  which remains the highest charting electronic music album of 2018. Above & Beyond was previously nominated for a GRAMMY in the “Best Dance Recording” for “We’re All We Need (feat. Zoë Johnston)” in 2016.

Dance music icons Gabriel & Dresden have also entered the nomination mix. The Only Road, their latest album, was released via Anjunabeats. The title track of the album made a massive impact with a remix from Cosmic Gate, which scored Cosmic Gate a nomination.

Tech-house superstar Fisher had an incredible year with his breakout track Losing it, which was played in almost every set at every festival this year. The track hit monumental heights and became synonymous summer 2018 with bro’s and Chad’s everywhere. This year was a great year for Fisher who went on several tours and released some tracks on his Catch and Release label. 

Porter Robinson‘s latest project, VIRTUAL SELF, awed fans around the world with his latest and unique alias. His track Ghost Voices skyrocketed his latest project to this year’s GRAMMY nomination pool.

Kaskade once again made the GRAMMY noms pool with his ever so dreamy remix of Kygo’s Stargazing.
