It's always a big moment when non-Americans take home a Grammy. And Australia is Japanno exception. They're currently losing their minds over 25-year-old artist, Flume's big win.

Flume's album Skintook home the award for Best Dance/Electronic Music Album at The Grammys on Sunday evening, beating out nominations from stalwarts of the genre like Jean-Michel Jarre, Underworld and Louie Vega.

It's the first Grammy won by an Australian since Gotye took home two awards in 2012 for "Somebody That I Used To Know," which also featured New Zealand singer Kimbra.

Understandably, news of Flume's win brought plenty of joy to the island Down Under, with the young gun getting props from industry bodies and fellow artists.

Flume, who's been playing electronic music since aged 11, is so big in Australia and New Zealand that his debut album hit number 1, beating out One Direction for the top spot.

Yeah, boy!
