The 10 best Aussie dance music albums of the 21st century

[News]

Firstly, this is our personal list and is by no means the be all and end all. Secondly we made a point of not doubling up on bands, couldn’t have both Flume albums, all three RÜFÜS albums and then filled out the remainder with Presets albums now could we? Third and finally this list is a relatively modern one, nothing before 2000, so please older scene heads: don’t shoot us. 

There’s no doubt that since the turn of the century Australia’s been influencing the greater electronic music world with a slew of killer releases. We’ve compiled a couple of lists of classic Aussie dance bangers before, but this time we’ve taken it one step further to honour those who’ve compiled full albums of absolute choons!
