Just like that Triple J’s Hottest 100 for 2020 has come and gone and with it, a pretty solid list of great music from around the globe as voted by the public!

Thankfully, dance and electronic got a look in with big burners from Flume, Stace Kadet & KLP, Gorgon City, Cosmos’ Midnight and more all making the cut.

While a portion of these aren’t straight club rompers, the artists behind the music have a strong background in the genre… be it sampling or performance or previous releases and why we included them!

So who made the cut?

By our calculation, there were 10 tracks from the Top 100 that fall under the dance/electronic category and making up 10% of the list.  Of those 10 tracks, a whopping 9 were from or involved an Australian artist (like Flume with his Eiffel 65 remix of “Blue” which came in at #54). He also topped the list of dance tracks in the Hottest 100 with his earworm “The Difference” featuring Toro Y Moi coming in at #3.

Other notable mentions go to mashup duo Mashd N Kutcher and their recent impromptu “Get On The Beers” remix at #12 as well as Stace Kadet and KLP’s room shaker “Energy” at #21. Just sneaking in under the top 50 was The Avalanches earned a respectable #35 placing with “Running Red Lights” taken from their latest album ‘We Will Always Love you’.

As expected from a less than focused dance station more electronic bites made a stronger surge on the final leg of the hottest 100. These included Sofi Tukker and Gorgon City at #77, FISHER at #80, Cosmo’s Midnight at #83 and Golden Features and ODESZA’s BRONSON project #88 respectively.
