Dennis Ferrer headlines this year's list of nominations in the Grammy Awards' dance music and remixing categories. His remix of "Don't Believe in Love" by make-out music queen Dido on Arista Records is nominated for the Grammy for Best Remixed Recording (Non-Classical).
The actually Dance Music categories however (the so called "Field 2" of nominations) are dominated by the likes of David Guetta, Lady Gaga, LMFAO and - somehow - The Black Eyed Peas. Sadly, this continues the trend by which the Dance Music categories have become another way for major label pop artists to add another nomination to their belt, rather than honoring original productions in an exceptionally crowded Dance Music field.
