oh man, it depends on what you are on. I'm going to assume e or speed I guess & give some general dance recommendations accordingly.
older Chemical Brothers like Surrender, Dig your own hole and their live mix album Brothers gonna work it out are all pretty good. my first experience with chemicals was at a Chemicals show, just after Surrender. it was goddamned awesome.
the first two Daft Punk albums are excellent, as is most of Felix da Housecat's mix albums. Carl Cox's live set at the Big Day Out a couple of years back was pretty goddamned good, also. Soulwax's recent album (can't remember the title) and Tiga's album Sexor are pretty good, but even better if you can get some of the remixes people have done. If you like mashup stuff then Soulwax/2manydjs's live sets are very very good, as are ones by the Avalanches and the Bang Gang.
also, if you are into commercial dance mixes I guess you could do worse than checking out the Ministry of Sound range, especially the Breaks albums put out by Kid Kenobi. I am also presently listening to a compilation put out by a mob called "Vicious" that is called "Clubwork vol 2" It seems good enough!
as for individual songs, I would recommend:
- Royksopp, 49 Percent (Angello & Ingrosso Remix)
- Freeform Five, No more conversations (Mylo remix)
- Sharon Phillips, Want2/Need2 (Trentmoeller remix)
- The Knife, Silent Shout (Williams Acidic Circuits mix) & We share our mother's health (Trentmoeller remix)
- Annie, Chewing Gum (Mylo remix)
- Tonite Only, Danger (The bomb)
- Moguai, Freak & Get On <- (2 songs)
dance music is sometimes hard to recommend for, because a lot of artists will release an entire album's worth of stuff, most of it sounding "ok", but then someone will remix a song off it and it'll blow your head off. Then some asshole will grab a whole bunch of the really big tunes and compile them into one album, but absolutely fucking murder the mixes. It's very hit and miss sometimes.
Generally if you look for remixes by Trentmoeller, Mylo, Soulwax, Timo Maas, Dirty South or um, what's his face, Arman van Helden they will be pretty ok!
