This time of year you are likely to come across any number of “best of charts” for the year just gone. But this year, we at the Melbourne Techno Collective thought we’d go for a more local perspective and asked some of Melbourne’s top underground DJs to look back at 2009. Check out the charts below to see the tunes which rocked Melbourne dance floors in 09.

Daniel Filipovic (Pinksilver)
|
| 01 Heinrichs & Hirtenfellner – Quantum Jump Label [Highgrade Records] Before 2009 I had never heard of Heinrichs & Hirtenfellner. (shame on me), but with a stunning LP release on Highgrade with ‘Dark Orbit’ I couldn’t believe they had been releasing music since 2005. Weird, funky and synthetic sonics was the theme of ‘Dark Orbit’ with ‘Quantum Jump’ the pick of the tracks. 02 Ntanos – Latte (Markojux Remix) [Pinksilver Digital] 03 Tony Lionni Title – Found A Place [Ostgut Ton] 04 Anthony Collins – Over the top of my shoulder Label [Curle Recordings] 05 John Shananigans – The Man With One Blue Shoe [Circus Company] 06 The Mountain People – Mountain People 008 [Mountain People] 07 Dana Ruh – Vochi Vochi [Broquade] 08 Marc Antona & Xiki -Hawah [Micro-Fibres] 09 STL – Silent State [Smallville Records] 10 Schatrax – Dizzy [Sister Phunk] |
