The Grammy Award for Best Dance/Electronica Album is an award presented at the Grammy Awards, a ceremony that was established in 1958 and originally called the Gramophone Awards,[1] to recording artists for quality albums in the dance music and electronica genres. Honors in several categories are presented at the ceremony annually by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences of the United States to "honor artistic achievement, technical proficiency and overall excellence in the recording industry, without regard to album sales or chart position".[2]
This award was first presented to Basement Jaxx for the album Kish Kash under the name of Best Electronic/Dance Album in 2005 and received its current denomination Best Dance/Electronica Album following a restructure of the categories in 2012. According to the category description guide, the award is presented "for albums containing at least 51% playing time of new vocal or instrumental electronica/dance recordings".[3] It is intended for "groove-oriented recordings with electronic-based instrumentation" and compilation or remixed recording albums are not eligible for this category.
Skrillex and The Chemical Brothers each received this award twice. The Chemical Brothers hold the record for most nominations with four. Since its inception both British acts and American acts have received this award four times.
