Insomniac, the organizers of successful international festival series, the Electric Daisy Carnival have confirmed that plans to host an award ceremony solely for electronic music artists and events is underway as they’ve teamed up with Dick Clark; the production company behind Hollywood A lister event the Golden Globes.
According to insomniac the new awards will not just focus on the commercial popular side of dance music and will encompass all aspects of the scene including its various genres, art, and stage production and lighting.
It seems a shrewd move by Insomniac with dance music garnering plenty of attention at Grammys and Billboard awards amongst other shows in recent times but electronic music is as of yet to have a televised example of a show dedicated to it entirely. The inaugural incarnation of the as yet unnamed awards shows will premiere next year during EDC Las Vegas.
