Guys, I'm basically mixing a MAHOSSIVE dance compilation (in mp3) format which takes us from the 90s right through to present day dance.

Current tracks from the early days include

Snap - Rhythm is a Dancer
Haddaway - What is Love
Ultra Nate - Free
Olive - Your not Alone
Eiffel 65 - Blue
PVD - Angel
NRG 52 - Cafe Del Mar

Others, as we come to the millenium, include

Delerium - Silence
ATB - 9pm Till I come
Watergate - Heart of Asia
Fragma - Toca Me
Fragme - Everytime you need me

And then modern day includes:-

Hi-Tack - Say Say Say
Uniting Nations - Out of Touch
Uniting Nations - Ai No Corrida
Freemasons - Love on my Mind

Do you have any other suggestions for classic or current dance tracks!?

The CD will be fully track split (i.e. each track numbered) and will be seamless.

If you do have a suggestion, please state artist, track and rough age...

Thanks

You might already know this but the only way (that i know of*) to make a seamless mix with sperate tracks is to record the entire mix as one long mp3 file and then burn to CD using a .cue file. If you seperate the mix into individual mp3 files there will be a small but noticable jump between tracks. Sorry if you already knew that!

* actually there is another way using fancy foobar plugins but i've no idea how it's done and it's still beta
 
A few classics I can think of...

Altern8 - Activ8 (Come with me) - 1991/2ish
Baby D - I Need Your Lovin' - 1995ish
Fridge - Angel - 2000ish
DJ SS - Lighter - 1997ish
Origin Unknown - Valley of the Shadows - 1997ish
 
Yeah, i'm recording the entire mix as one long mp3 using cool Edit Pro, then splitting the tracks down one by one using simple cut and past technique (labelling each track 1, 2, 3, etc). Winamp seems to be able to seamlessly reproduce the playback without the pause, so we'll see how I get on
 
4 Strings- Turn it Around
Olive- Your Not Alone
Mansun- Wide Open Space
Planet Perfecto- Bullet in the Gun
Plummet- Damaged
Faithless- Insomnia
Livin Joy- Dreamer
 
Old one: Stretch N Vern - I'm Alive

Middle one: Yomanda - Synth and Strings

Newer one: Free - Pure Devotion (apparently this is a ringtone on a phone, but I think the track itself is good.)

I was throwing out some old cassette singles and Everytime You Need Me was one of them... coool... :)

Great list btw ;)
