Melbourne Techno Collective

With this years’ Winter Music Conference (WMC) in Miami just over a month away, preparations are being made for the associated International Dance Music Awards (or IDMA). Nominations have been announced and voting is currently underway on the WMC website with some notable inclusions for techno fans. The frenetic Dubfire has received a nomination for best American DJ and Joris Voorn and Gui Boratto have both been nominated for best breakthrough DJ. Also of note are the nominations for best minimal/techno track which includes Luciano and Guy Gerber’s Arcenciel, Marco Carola’s Bloody Cash, Gui Boratto’s No Turning Back, Cirez D’s On Off, Dubfire’s Rabid and Claude Von Stroke’s Vocal Chords – which could possibly have received a nomination for most annoying track in history if such a category did exist.

You can vote in the IDMA by completing the form at www.wintermusicconference.com/idmaballot/finalballot/index.php
