So what's your favourite dance music then?
Ok, so following on from the Leftfield thread, why don't we have a dedicated dance music thread. What dance music do you like, who's your
favourite DJ's live, and name some really great tunes. It's grey and raining here in my shop today, so I can play some banging classics
while I work 
So I'm foremost a Drum and Bass lover, all the Hospitality DJ's especially at the moment, along with of course Andy C, Chase and Status,
Netsky, Hazard, Friction, Hype, Ed Rush, LTJ Bukem, Sub Focus etc etc
Also love Psytrance, I love the crowd you get in Brighton for these nights, really hippy and laid back, always a great night out with the glow
sticks!
Like a bit of hard house and techno, Andy Weatherhall and stuff like that, and of course the master that is Carl Cox - been seeing him since he
started out down at the Zap club in Brighton in the late 1980's.
The wife and I go out dancing about once every 6-8 weeks these days, but becuase we live in Brighton we can pick and choose as we get such great club
night down here.

Too many favorites to mention  Always liked Inner City, Expansions, Shades of Rhythm, Joss Wink, ......
I used to go clubbing in Brighton 4-5 times a week back in the early 90's. The club scene was fantastic.
I met SWMBO at Paradox almost 15 years ago
Oh the memories.......

a hospitality fan. I never would have guessed!
I'm quite into my fidget house, hostage - shake it  .
I'm just coming out of the dubstep scene, joker or vex'd used to be my favourite producers. Probably going to
Outlook festival this year.
boys noize/crookers/crystal castles/the twelves for my electro fix. Possibly also going to
EXIT too.
Its got to be prodigy/pendulum for all time favourites though
P.S. can I also have your mini?!

Loads of stuff I love but Stardust; Music Sound Better With You always raises a smile. Likewise, I cant keep still to Daft Punk; Face to Face. Then
there's Benga; 26 Basslines... then there's Lost Tribe*; Gimme A Smile (The Delorme Vs Dharma Bums Remix). I could go on...
Someone mentioned hidden bass on the other thread. Try Alex Reece; Pulp Fiction if you have audio kit that can get low enough. Mega.

I think out of my personal collection Thomas Schumacher 'When I Rock' has to be one of the best hard house tunes.
Linky
Also you can never forget the late great Tony De Vit 'Are you all ready'
Linky
Drum and base I have to say DJ Hype's 'ready or not' remix is awesomeness.

So many more but remembering all the names is hard now

My god, I've still got that accordion based euro trash running around my head, that was truly the most awful thing I've ever heard in a
club!!
I love a bit of Goan Trance, was in Goa in February and went to one of the famed headphone parties on the headland, I was giving it the full hippie
floaty arm treatment!!!
Liking both Alex Reece and Lost Tribe, gonna try some more now, keep 'em coming ....

i did exit in 2007 and my one recommendation would be.....don't
the organisation at the festival wasn't great and the rush of massive pilled up serbians for prodigy on the first night was really poorly
managed. i saw at least 3 people pushed to the floor and semi trampled. we retreated to the food court and watched from there. (snoop dogg was
absolutely awesome though, as were the beastie boys)
i disliked novi sad as much as the festival, but belgrade was quite pleasant for a few days.
if you must go, take mylar survival blankets to pin to the outside of your tent. there was no shade for the camping and it was about 40 degrees when
we were there.

cheers tom, thats good to know. Another friend had a bad experience with false drug accusations from the local pigs so I'm put off the idea.
I'll investigate benicassim/sziget instead.

Went to the full moon at Koa Phangan back in 2003 and there was a bar at one end of the beach playing progressive trance Ah the memories!!!!! Spent
about 3 hours there before heading off the beach in search of various things including some faster BPMs.... But that first bit- lying on the beach
with some buckets of love listening to some Progtrance sure took some beating. I'm told the hangover should wear off soon......

Thing is... I don't dance to 'dance music' anymore. I tend to just listen to it in the car and nod along to it.
The strange thing is... I used to listen to rock music in the car and nod along to it. Now I dance about like a loony to a good rock tune!
It's Evolution Baby!

Its funny you know, you say you like Drum and Bass to most people, even a lot of young people, and they turn there nose up.
But some of the new Drum and Bass around these days is so well produced, some of it lighter and trancy and others really deep and funky it's
have a huge revival, lots of airplay on daytime radio, not just specialist shows, and bands like Pendulum (hardly DnB any more though, more rock
inspired) and Chase and Status doing big live shows.
I went to see Pendulum at Brixton Academy last year (seen 'em about 8 times all told, DJ and live sets), they recorded it for the DVD that
night, and it was truly the most enegry I've ever seen in one room, everybody was bouncing right to the very back, here's a taster:
