The GRAMMYS might be taking play this weekend, but here in Canada we’re only about to head into award season with the full list of 2017 June Awards nominations just revealed!
Right off the bat, some of Canada’s biggest dance artists have all been nominated for Dance Recording of the Year. Adventure Club, Zeds Dead, Shaun Frank are some of the biggest staples in mainstream dance music at the moment and all their respective singles “Limitless” ft. Delaney Jane, ‘Northern Lights,” and “Let You Get Away” ft. Ashe all received nominations. Jacques Greene and Bit Funk rounded out the five nominees with “You Can’t Deny” and “Off the Ground” ft. Shae Jacobs respectively.
