Skrillex wins 3 Grammys (Best New Artist still to be announced)

Following the controversy surrounding Skrillex's five Grammy nominations over the past few weeks, the superstar Dubstep producer/DJ has gone on to win 3 Grammy awards at tonight's ceremony, with 'Best New Artist' yet to be announced. Sonny Moore, 23, shot into the spotlight at the back end of 2010, with his heavy robotic sound capturing the hearts of many youngsters, and taking the much loved underground UK genre into the American mainstream. Adele pipped him to the 'Best Short Form Music Video', but he has still picked up 'Best Remixed Recording', 'Best Electronic/Dance Album' and 'Best Dance Recording'. As much as you may hate his music, he is without doubt one of the hardest working men in music right now, and this is a huge moment for Dubstep and the Electronic music scene as a whole. Kanye West has also won 3 awards in the pre-Grammy telecast for 'Best Rap Song', 'Best Rap Album', and 'Best Rap/Sung Collabo'. Stay tuned for the full list of award winners.

Rumours have been flying around the internet all day that Sankeys closed early last night, and now it has been confirmed that it was, after four clubbers were taken to hospital due to adverse effects from taking ecstacy tablets. Emergency services were called to the legendary Manchester club at 2:30am to deal with the youngsters - one woman discharged herself, but one woman (19) and two men (19 & 21) were kept overnight for observation. Their condition is not thought to be life-threatening, and police believe this was caused due to them mixing ecstacy and alcohol. Wishing them a quick recovery, and remember, be careful out there.

Skrillex: is a DJ worth 5 Grammy nominations?

The guys over at Beast TV have put together this sick little documentary to look into whether a DJ is worth 5 Grammy nominations. Well Sonny Moore, better known as Skrillex, is one of the hardest working men in music right now, and I (along with many others) believe that he fully deserves the level of recognition that he has received over the past 12 months. The awards he is up for are: Best New Artist, Best Dance Recording, Best Dance/Electronica Album, Best Remixed Recording (Non-Classical) & Best Short Form Music Form. Wishing him all the luck in the world, winning just one of these would be massive. Check out all the categories and nominees HERE.
