[JOJO SIWA DERANGEMENT SYNDROME]

I know the EDM scene is rapidly changing but I honestly haven't heard of at least 1/3 of the artists/producers nominated. I'm not being shady.

Oh I have never known there will be such an award! Great to see Paul Oakenfold initiated this <3

Sooo stanning for my boys Porter & Madeon. They have been killing it this year, both with "Shelter" and their live collaborations. Pleasantly surprised to see "Jungelknugen" too, but it is indeed an amazing production <3 Oh and A-Trak should win that best DJ award cuz his turntables skill is just insane. And yasss @ Hot Since 82 being nominated <3

Wtf are the Chainsmokers doing here though?

[die Lotterie]

Love most of these, The Chainsmokers are an exception though.

Here for all the "Innerbloom" love.

[Albie]

It's sad even in the big categories they nominate the same mediocre mainstream acts as in every other award show.

[Deleted]

The Chainsmokers have no place here at all
