I Need Glowstick Music
onewheelwizzard:
I'm surprised that Benny Benassi hasn't been mentioned yet. His stuff's pretty formulaic but if it's a flavor you like, you'll love basically all of it.
Honestly I like dancing to dubstep and Shpongle probably more than anything else so I'm probably not going to be of much use to you.

hot chip tune that get's pretty dancy and isn't a remix:

I think the thing with hot chip is that, yeah they're electronic, but pretty relaxed at the same time. This lends to great remixes that are a lot more exciting.

No, I don't think so. There are particular bods who've made their reputation on their remixes though - e.g. Carl Craig was one of the biggest names in the second wave of Detroit techno, still massively well regarded, and he said his remixes are the thing he's most proud of.
I'd say one of the key things about dance music is that, in all its flavours, it's about the singles. The best artist albums tend to be compilations / best ofs.
Shouldn't come in here without a recommendation, I guess, but the kind of stuff you're rating upthread's not really my thing. Heard MSTRKRFT or whatever remixing Armand Van Helden's NYC Beat? I like that one...
May be quite different, but what do you think of Petter's Some Polyphony? Can recommend a bunch of tracks along those lines if you like it.
Daft pun:
Remixes aren't necessarily better than the originals. Most of the time the remix will be better suited for the dancefloor, but it all depends on the original material and the remixer.
Fish across face brings up a good point in dance revolving around singles. If you want to know what a band sounds like, you listen to their albums, with dj's or producers you listen to their singles. Most of the time they won't even have an album, and if they do it probably isn't very good. Now of course there are some exceptions to this rule, but it's a decent guideline.

Listening to it right now, and it's pretty good. What else do you recommend?
