Electronic Music Awards & Foundation Nominees: Calvin Harris, Diplo, Kygo Announced

The Electronic Music Awards & Foundation show has announced the nominees for its inaugural edition this year. The nominees for the first ever televised award show for electronic music vary across seven different categories ranging from Single of the Year, Album of the Year, Best New Artist and DJ of the Year. Among those nominated are Ultra Music Festival, Kygo, Calvin Harris, Carl Cox, Diplo and Fabric.

The Best New Artist category has a few headscratchers with DJ Snake and Kygo joining other newer acts like KSHMR, Jauz and Bob Moses.

"The nominees reflect dance music trends on a global level bringing together DJs, producers, clubs and brands that represent a wide range of genres," says Executive Producer from TV4 Entertainment, Paul Duddridge.
