I was getting worried for sec cos I was half way through reading these posts and there wasn't a Sasha anywhere.

Sasha - Xpander
yeke yeke
Rui da Silva - Touch Me

I could go on but I won't.

Edit for another recent one Bedrock - Beautiful Strange(Ambient Mix) ******* Lush.

IMO that site isnt totally correct, some of the examples given for each genre seem slightly wrong, how do you group Goa & Gabber together? and theres quite a few major genres missing, UK hard house?

Yeah i agree, its a bit out of date and written from a north American perspective, but i was only using it in reply to the guy who said early house isnt dance music. Think you will agree though the overall view is fairly accurate.?

I am kind of inclined to say Ultrabeat - Pretty green eyes.

But only as it is current favourite, can't stop listening to it!

Maybe all time favourites have to be:

Three drives - Greece 2000
Southside Spinners - Love Struck
The Space brothers - Legacy (This one sends shivers down me every time)

Cant go wrong with anything by
Ferry Corsten AKA System F, Gouryella
(yes im a ferry corsten fan

)

And a future classic
DJ Tiesto's mix of Adagio for strings.

Robert Miles - Children (DJ at one club here plays a wicked mix of this mixed into Sandstorm sometimes)

That would be Darube Vs Robert Miles - Children Of the sandstorm.
great track if you like both children and sandstorm

Me neither but energy 52 - cafe del mar (original + michael woods remix) does it for me

mmmm. Just realised I forgot Roger Sanchez - Another Chance. Heard it the other night and had almost forgotten how good it was. Very mainstream but doesn't suffer for it, brought back memories of my final summer at uni along with Silence & Castles in the Sky. I'd have to put it above both of them though just for sheer emotive driving energy. One of the few tracks that can make me dance like a maniac while smiling naturally.

Just been listening to few classics tonight

The Age of Love - The Age of Love
Felix - Don't You Want Me
BBE - 7 Days and 1 Week

May have already mentioned these earlier in the thead anyway.

Tiesto - Walking on Clouds (on his new album, Just Be) is starting to become a favourite of mine

At Gatecrasher between 1997 and 1999, scott bond used to throw in a tune at about five in the morning that was absolutely bonkers and guaranteed to give a second wind to those that were flagging:

Signum - What Ya Got For Me?
