Background and History

The since 1958 awarded Grammy Awards (actually Gramophone Awards) are presented annually in several categories of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences ( NARAS ) in the United States of America to artistic achievement, technical competence and excellent overall performance without regard to the album to honor sales or chart position.

This prize was first awarded in 2005 for Best Electronic / Dance Album of Basement Jaxx, for her album Kish Kash. The present name was given the prize in 2012 after a rearrangement of the categories. Albums can be nominated for the category whose playing time is at least 51% of new vocal or instrumental pieces of music genres Dance and Electronica. Compilation or remix albums are not nominierbar.

The Chemical Brothers and Skrillex have been able to win twice as only the award. With four nominations The Chemical Brothers also hold the record for most nominations. David Guetta, Paul Oakenfold, Robyn, Goldfrapp and Deadmau5 were each nominated twice, but the award could never win.
