Neon Dreams nabbed Best Electronic and Best Pop Band this year, and the trio is happy to be slotted in either or both. “We’ve transitioned a lot from EDM but we’re still very much electronic,” says drummer Adrian Morris, ahead of a national tour opening for Ria Mae. “Our recording processes and in our live show, we’re using samplers and a lot more digital elements.” The rising-yet-humble radio stars—who made national news when they exited Hedley’s arena tour after Jacob Hoggard was accused of sexual assault—appreciate the nod: “We just want to thank Halifax,” says Morris, “for supporting us through a very rollercoaster of a year.”
