Hey guys. I'm trying to make a mix of songs that are good to dance to, and I've realized that I know nothing about dance music!

 

Do you guys have any suggestions? It's gonna be like a work out/pump up kind of mix. All I can think of is Hips Don't Lie by Shakira! LOL. I seriously need some suggestions!

Umm not really my field but Nutbush City Limit is a great dance song!! :lol:

I quite like Jock Jams too... :thinking:

Dance music has many different categories. You need to be more specific. I like house myself.......................... :rolleyes:

House, CARNAVAL!!!theres so much music to dance on.

i'd try these...

Tonite Only - Where The Party's At

Jeans Team - Keine Melodien

Hot Chip - Over And Over

they always make me walk faster when i'm on my way home ... :stunned:

The Avalanches

House, CARNAVAL!!!theres so much music to dance on.

 

Carnival isn't dance music - it's "drinking" music, and it's horrible!!:angry:

HORRIBLE?! oh i love it

you call it drinking music, i call it great dance music :P

HORRIBLE?! oh i love it

you call it drinking music, i call it great dance music :P

 

In which case you're completely deluded!!:P

 

By far the best dance music is house, disco and funk - and preferably a combination of all three!!:D

^^Yeah, that's pretty good. Check out some songs by Young Love, more specifically, "Find a New Way" and "Too Young to Fight It". Two of my favorites.

And "Le Disko" by Shiny Toy Guns is muy good.
