There’s enough gossip going around the world of electronic music that it probably deserves its own TMZ, Gawker, and Perez Hilton. We keep track of the drama, the beef, the LOLs, the dramatic build-ups, and the tragic drops so you don’t have to. Now, let’s see who killed it this week.

2013 was a big year for dance music. Daft Punk went Bieber and took home the Grammys for Record of the Year, Album of the Year, Best Pop Performance, and Best Dance Album. Zedd won Best Dance Recording for his smash hit, “Clarity,” and Cedric Gervais scraped the trophy for Best Remix. So how come no dance music artists performed at the award show?
