"Jack Ü", produced by Skrillex and Diplo, won the Grammy sward for best dance/electronic album tonight at the Grammy awards. This means that our very own 'Viking of Soca', Bunji Garlin, receives honorable mention because his song is listed on "Jack Ü"!
Go ahead and celebrate with Bunji! He has been making excellent music and was at the forefront of the 'Ragga Soca' movement. It has been a long road but he still has work to do. Next time we want it to be a solo effort. However, Bunji does not need to win a Grammy (a solo effort) to be applauded by us (but that would be nice) because his body of work speaks volumes for this talented son of the soil.
Yes, it is OK to feel good and celebrate this achievement but realistically speaking the juice behind the victory is "Where Are U Now" by Justin Bieber! Skrillex and Diplo have much to celebrate tonight and all the artists on the album get honorable mention and can feel good about this victory tonight. Congratulations to all those who deserve an honorable mention.

Skrillex And Diplo Present Jack Ü by Skrillex And Diplo has won best dance/electronic album at the Grammy awards in Los Angeles.
The EDM duo took home the award in face of competition from British producers the Chemical Brothers, Jamie xx and Disclosure.
The album saw a high profile collaboration with Justin Bieber, Where Are U Now, and carried on their experimentation with chart-friendly EDM music.
Skrillex told the Guardian that the success of the Bieber track had led to some interesting offers. “There have been a lot; lots will come from people who’ll text me: “Hey, I’m not sure if you’re into this but would you be into producing the Meghan Trainor song for the new Snoopy movie?” Things like that.”
The other nominees for best dance/electronic album were: Our Love by Caribou, Born In The Echoes by The Chemical Brothers, Caracal by Disclosure, In Colour by Jamie xx.
