- Interplanetary Criminal and SadBoi also took home trophies at the 2025 edition of Canada’s top music awards.
- Priori and Ciel are among the winners of this year’s Juno Awards.
Sometimes called the “Canadian Grammys,” the Juno Awards are given out each year to the finest music from Canada-based artists. Since its launch in 1975, the winners have been selected by The Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences.
This year, Priori’s This but More was named Electronic Album Of The Year. The Montreál-based artist’s fourth record, released in May 2024, featured contributions from James K, Ben Bondy, Adam Feingold and more.
Ciel’s “Bamboo” was named Underground Dance Single Of The Year. The song was first released as the opening track on Ciel’s 2023 album Homesick—according to the Toronto-based artist and Parallel Minds boss, she wrote “Bamboo” in 2021 after attending a “very inspiring” Invisible City party at Blkspace, using a breakbeat she heard on the same night.
Finally, Manchester DJ and Interplanetary Criminal‘s collaboration with Toronto artist SadBoi, “No Time,” took home the award for Dance Recording Of The Year. The track, which dropped on January 1st last year, marked the duo’s first release together. In an Instagram post upon its release, Interplanetary Criminal said he drew inspiration from a New Year’s Eve spent at The White Hotel, sharing: “I was so inspired by the driving kicks and fun, sassy melodies surrounding them, blew my mind—everything fell into place the day after, unreal.”
Other 2025 Juno Award winners included Nemahsis, Mustafa, Jessie Reyez, Snotty Nose Rez Kids and more. Browse the Instagram, and see a full list of the 2025 Juno Award winners here.
