\n\tThe nominations for the 68th annual Grammy Awards<\/a> were announced Friday morning (Nov. 7), with the Recording Academy once again recognizing the dance\/electronic genre across four categories: best dance electronic recording, best dance\/electronic album, best dance pop recording and best remixed recording.<\/p>\n

\n\tThese categories welcome back a list of familiar faces, specifically in Fred again.., Kaytranada, Disclosure and Skrillex. These artists have tallied a combined 49 nominations and 13 wins, with Skrillex arguably being the Academy\u2019s most loved dance artist, with his nine wins going back to 2012. (Meanwhile Fred again.. has two awards, as does Kaytranda, while Disclosure has been iced out of any wins thus far during their storied career.)<\/p>\n

\n\tThis repeat pool of nominations suggests that the Grammys have found a cadre of dance\/electronic artists that are not only worthy, but with whom the Academy feels comfortable returning to again and again. Fred, Skrillex, Kaytranada and Disclosure make up nearly the entire dance\/electronic recording category, which is rounded out by Tame Impala\u2019s \u201cEnd of Summer,\u201d a worthy track that carves out space for recognition of the artist\u2019s new electronic-focused album Deadbeat<\/em>, which was released after the 2026 eligibility window closed.<\/p>\n

\n\tElsewhere, the categories bring in less frequently nominated artists, including FKA twigs and PinkPantheress, both welcome sights to see nominated for dance\/electronic album, a category that also includes fellow Grammy favs R\u00fcf\u00fcs du Sol, a group that\u2019s aggregated six nominations and one win over its career.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile none of these nominations comes as a true shock, being that there are only five slots in each category, as always, there were also a few surprises sprinkled across the categories. Here are some of the biggest snubs and surprises in the dance\/electronic nominations for the 68th annual Grammy Awards.<\/p>\n
