While the main televised Juno Awards ceremony goes down tonight in Calgary, yesterday the Canadian Academy of Arts and Sciences (CARAS) handed out a number of awards, including Dance Recording of the Year and Electronic Album of the Year. Toronto trio Keys N Krates' "Save Me" (featuring Katy B) won the former category, beating out songs by A-Trak, Sleepy Tom, and others, while Vancouver producer Pomo took home the latter for his record The Other Day.
