Best Dance song ever??

-Leelo-

Hi Folks,

Had all my fave dance songs on my computer a few years back but the fecker got a virus and they were all wiped (or so I was told)
Have some of them back now but I know I'm missing loads so in order to jog my memory or provide me with some new inspiration, I'd like you folks to tell me your fave dance songs ever. (No Scooter or Cascada please )

I'll get the ball rolling, mine has to be either Artemesia Bits & Pieces or Storm Time to Burn!

JethroC

Jaysus...I could be here all night. I don't think there's one as obviously everyone's taste is different but if I were to take 2 off the top of my head they would be Sasha - Expander (Original Mix) & Salt Tank - Eugina (Michael Woods Mix)

'kin hell!!! £50 for that choon?!?! When I finally leave this earth I hope whoever is left with my record collection does some research before they flog it!!!

As for the best dance song ever? There's no such thing as "the best ever" when it comes to anything artistic. However, there have been an absolute bag load of fantastic dance tunes down the years to choose from. From "Blue Monday" to Gat Decor - "Passion" to "Rez" to "Song of Life" and that's only off the top of my head.

Hardcore Uproar is fcuking classic,
2 bad mice-bombscare
Age of love-age of love

I know it's cheesy, but passion by gat decor is not one of the biggest selling dance choonz of all time for nothing

Though if a gun was put to my noggin and I had to choose one, it would have to be let's get brutal by nitro delux-twas the choon that got me into dance in the first place way back in the 80's

I'd hardly call it cheesy, maybe when they added the vocal but when the original came out it was a real underground track. Remember hearing it for the first time in Sides waaay back yonder.

mathie

I know it's played to death but PvD For an Angel.

b_beep

ooooh, the list is endless Delerium Silence, Nalin and Kane Beachball, Underworld Rez (prob my no. 1) Rui de Silva Touch me... and from Donna Summer's I feel love through Prodigy's Charlie Says theres just too many to choose from. I want to go dancing now WOHOO its Friday!
(and they're just the tunes that are so well known I could actually remember the names....)

Absolutely love this tune.

Used to love OD on Groove in Sides as well.

OMG! Cant believe I forgot about SPQR Unlimited Dreams. I'm even more surprised that no-one else mentioned it!

Ok to answer this one within reason I'd have to propose a hypothetical situation. Forgive me if I go off on one

If I was to hear all the dance records from over the years today for the first time then there are quite a few that would stick out. I'll split them into sub genres:

Acid - "The Serpent in the Garden" - Garden of Eden. Sounds as good today as it ever sounded. A timeless classic. Also in this category I would put "Phuture" - Acid Trax. Pure Acid business.

House - "Take a Chance" - The Untouchables. A classic Strictly Rhythm way back in the day House tune. Just Dance!

Techno – “The House is mine” - The Hypnotist. Even now it still sends shivers across the spectrum of my spine.

Dance - Has to be "Passion" by Gat Decor. I remember the first time I heard this in a Club and it blew my socks off. Like an earlier poster said, it’s probably the biggest seller ever which speaks volumes. Although not as big a seller as Passion I would also put "Not Forgotten” - Leftfield in this category too. Two divinely structured Dance tracks, great build ups and top breaks.

Hard House - "Acperience" - Hardfloor. Mind crunching implosion of the brain. The out and out winner in this category in my opinion.

Trance - "Poltergeist" - Vicious Circles. Still packs a punch. Falls in under Trance but it has that Stomper tune aspect going on too. Blower! Again there are many more that could be here but this one springs to mind the most.

Quick shout outs and big ups:

Voodoo Ray - A guy called Gerald
Pacific - 808 State
Humanoid - Stakker
Total Confusion – A Homeboy a Hippie and a Funky Dred
Come Down - Automation
Cappella - Everybody listen to it
Is there anybody out there? - Bassheads
Up and at Om - Taz Dee and the acid MCs
Subsonic Trance - Joey Beltram
Last Rhythm (Vocal Battle Mix)- Last Rhythm
Mona Lisa - D Shake
Holographic Dreams - Guru Josh
Liquid Empire - Cold Sensation
Mantra - CJ Boland
Channel X – Rave to the Rhythm
What evil lurks - The Prodigy
Brazil (Remix) - Spectrum
Psychotronic Sounds - Earth Leakage Trip
2 Bad Mice - 2 Bad Mice
Pacific Symphony - Transformer II
Mental Cube - Q
Psychotropic – Hypnosis
Horsepower - Ravesignal III
Reincarnation - Country and Western
Hard Times - Rob D
Different Strokes – Isotonik
Music for the Masses - The Floor Federation
Rapture - Soul Odyssey
Tranceillusion - VFR
Anything you want (Instrumental) - Delta Lady
Gloria - Art of Trance
