There’s no doubt that Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons had created one of the biggest projects dance music have ever had. That might be why they have collected their five and sixth awards on the 62° Annual Grammy Ceremony from last January. 

The event saw the UK duo take home the award for Best Dance Album for their 2019 album ‘No Geography’ and Best Dance Recording for album track ‘Got To Keep On’. The other nominees for Best Dance Recording included Bonobo with ‘Linked’, Italian production trio Meduza for their collaborative effort with Goodboys, ‘Piece of Your Heart’; Rüfüs Du Sol with their omnipresent ‘Underwater’ and the Skrillex & Boys Noize effort ‘Midnight Hour’, which features rapper Ty Dolla $ign. 

Following in the footsteps of last year’s Best Dance/Electronic Album winner Justice for their work in ‘Women Worldwide‘, they also won the award. ‘No Geography‘ is their ninth studio album and was released in April 2019, along with a massive world tour and banger dance cuts like ‘Got To Keep On,’ ‘Eve Of Destruction‘ and ‘Free Yourself‘. They faced real hard competition from the likes of Apparat, Flume and Rufus Du Sol.
