Toronto is Canada’s hottest city for electronic music, if the nominees for Canada’s 2009 Juno Awards are anything to go by.

Deadmau5, Hatiras, Matteo DiMarr and James Doman have all been nominated for Dance Recording of the Year, and all are from Toronto.

Deadmau5 is up for two gongs, with both his ‘Random Album Title’ debut LP and his collaboration with Kaskade (’Move For Me’) being nominated.

Hatiras has been nominated for his MC Flipside collaboration ‘Get Blahsted’ (Hatiras has won two Juno awards in the past).

Matteo DiMarr is up for his ‘Yes We Can’ house tribute to Barack Obama, which he produced under the moniker House Music Unlimited, and James Doman is being recognized for his Liquid ‘Sweet Harmony’ re-working ‘Everything’s Gonna Be Alright’.
