The 57th installment of the Grammys is well underway with Tiesto having already won a Grammy for his remix of John Legend’s “All of Me” and a slew of other awards having been announced. Now we’d like to follow up Tiesto’s win with the announcement that Richard David James, better known as Aphex Twin has just won the Grammy for Syro in the category of Best Dance/Electronic Album. The English producer was facing off against heavyweights such as Deadmau5, Mat Zo and others and thus we would like to congratulate him on his well deserved win.
Released in September of 2014, Aphex Twin’s sixth studio album and was met with critical acclaim from both fans and reviewers alike. You can listen to one of the songs off of Syro down below:
Category: Best Dance/Electronic Album
Syro, by Aphex Twin (winner)
While(1<2), by Deadmau5
Nabuma Rubberband, by Little Dragon
Do It Again, by Röyksopp & Robyn
Damage Control, by Mat Zo
“The English producer was facing off against heavyweights such as Deadmau5, Mat Zo”
That is like saying Muhammad Ali was facing off against heavyweights like Lenox Lewis – Aphex Twins are predecessors and invented the genre Mat Zo and Deadmau5 crawled into – one day the awful misappropriation of hipster EDM writers is going to have to be challenged….
What was the point of even putting him against that garbage.
awwww yeaaaaah
I didn’t care who won it, just wanted Deadmau5 to NOT win it.
Glad it’s Richard though, his stuff is really fucking great.
I thought Aphex Twin was Irish?
You have to be joking
