I went to a dance party against my better judgement this weekend and realized i was missing out on an epic fucking genre.
New editions to my collection (of like 4 songs right now)



i gotta get more stuff like this (don't tell anyone).

Only thing close to this i've had before is a MIA, Daft Punk cd or 2, and like all the Ratatat cds.
tell me some more songs/cds/artists.


i'd like to avoid the straight regular techno/trance type stuff thats just completely instrumental with that same keyboard sound every second for 8 minutes, not really my style.

mostly i like stuff thats a mix of sampled vocals, instrumental, techno, remixed dance songs from like 70s 80s, sampled disco, rap thats danceable, other select electronica.

7/13/2008 9:55:17 PM

well the list i just gave you should be a good starting point. if you need any song or album recommendations for each one, let me know

7/13/2008 10:02:53 PM

yeah album recommendations > song recommendations.

7/13/2008 10:03:58 PM

i think most of the artists i listed only have one album but i'll list them for you anyways

Mylo - Destroy Rock & Roll
Boys Noize - Oi Oi Oi
MSTRKRFT - The Looks
Holy Ghost only have one single out and some remixes
Juan Maclean - Less than Human (also have a new single out called "Happy House" that is great)
Chromeo - get the Fancy Footwork Deluxe edition that just came out, has all the good tracks from the first album
Outhud - Let Us Never Speak of It Again
Muscles - Guns Babe Lemonade
Hercules & Love Affair - ST
Simian Mobile Disco - Attack Decay Sustain Release
Booka Shade - The Sun & Neon Light

yeah, everyone likes some Justice.

7/13/2008 10:16:58 PM

going through my list, that booka shade album is probably a little too techno for this list

i'd also add Basement Jaxx - Kish Kash. it's a fun album
maybe try some Junior Senior, though that shit can get a little gay

7/14/2008 12:57:53 AM

^ those were my suggestions, btw

7/14/2008 1:13:20 AM

Chromeo. Good shit. Yes.


Also I'm surprised no one has been jockin' Girl Talk in this thread



I also like to listen to Talvin Singh and Kid Loco

^ Although good I am pretty sure trance from 1999 is exactly what he is not looking for.

While I can't say that I have the same fondness for the music described by the OP I must thank for you posting this. It sounds awesome and does indeed remind me of the music I found when I first got into techno/trance several years ago. I feel old.

If you haven't checked out Justice or Boys Noize yet I would suggest you get on that.

12/30/2008 1:23:59 AM

I know some of these are old and not exactly the same happy dance beats others have posted, but they're all good and maybe someone will enjoy them.

12/30/2008 12:42:24 PM

MGMT?

12/30/2008 12:52:46 PM

MGMT doesn't have anything that would pass as dance music, electric feel maybe, but people remix their stuff a lot (Electric Feel - Justice remix) and make it dancy.

12/30/2008 12:58:25 PM

^ Ahem..."Boogie Down"

12/30/2008 1:03:45 PM

goddamn you, foiled again!
