Good Dance/House Music?

[stacelina]

Anyone out there fans of house/dance/trance music? This is my favorite music and I was curious to know if anyone has some good recommendations. I currently listen to alot of Hed Kandi and Bargrooves music, as well as Ben Watt, Euphoria and George Acosta. I'm ALWAYS looking for new music.

I really love the music in LowMax. I love the song during the "slam its" and during the pony with the hamstring curl/buttkicks.

Thanks!

Oh my. If you like trance, you must check out Tiesto and John Digweed. Both DJ's. Digweed does a lot of stuff with another DJ named Sasha.

I could give you names of tons of trance DJ's. The list is way too long to post here. Armin Van Buren, Paul Oakenfold, Mark Oliver, Carl Cox (a bit more techno-y). All are fantastic and likely available in most music stores.

Yes, I have checked them out. Would you be able to recommend any album in particular? I've got a few Global Underground CD's and have just checked on Danny Howell's Miami -- has good reviews. I've also heart Saeed & Palash are good too.

I go to a good website called www.juno.co.uk. They've got a GREAT listing of all kinds of dance/electronic music. The thing I like about that website is that you can hear a full minute of each track, unlike amazon where you get 25 seconds. Not nearly enough time to be able to tell if a song is that great or not.

One of my favorite trance cd's is Euphoria - The Very Best Of. CD1 opens with Robert Miles - Children. That is a beautiful song!

There's a Digweed live two disc set that's amazing. Carl Cox live from Area 2 is fantastic. Digweed and Sasha Northern Exposure is a bit more downtempo, but good. Tiesto has one, I think it has Sunrise in the title, that's good epic trance.

Great -- thanks for the suggestion! If you like funky house, you should check out Afterdark San Francisco and Afterdark Chicago (from www.kinkysweet.com label). They are my favorite cd's of the moment!
