> [@ChadVader](#): > > I also like Röyksopp, but don’t own any of their albums. I’ve heard a few of their songs on Youtube and [Remind Me](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBvaHZIrt0o) and [What Else Is There?](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOt15JsLloU) seem to stick out. Royksopp is described on Wikipedia as “Downtempo” or “Trip Hop”. So you might like groups like Faithless (Dido’s old group), Massive Attack, Portishead, Zero 7 and some others. Although much of that music isn’t really danceable. I have a terrible time organizing the electronic / dance music on my iPod by genre (House, Trance, Eurodance, Eurotrance, Progressive house, Acid house, whatever). So I’ll just throw some songs I like out there and you can decide. [ATB - 9pm (Till I Come)](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oF-ojEjFkRM) [Sasha - Belfunk](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cxINYrHWtw) (I recommend the entire Sasha + Digweed Northern Exposure Expedition 2 Disk set.) [Darude - Feel The Beat](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mN84To5ndw0) [DJ Tiesto - Jonas Steur - Fall To Pieces](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtge1-neLNQ) [Dee Dee - The One](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49BX6v0lDtA&feature=related) [Push - Strange World](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cDlrZX0ge8) [Fatboy Slim - Remix of Boston’s Long Time](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGr9tIj8NqM) ---

I’ve found new music that I like (I tend to prefer trance but some of what is played probably fits what the OP is looking for) simply by listening to podcasts. I suggest Subterranean, Trance Around the World, Trance Tuesday, and Store N Forward. ---

You might also want to grab some old Ministry of Sound, Paul Oakenfold or DJ Tiesto compilations. ---

You need to listen to [Ghostland Observatory](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fM5ihtHnKQk) immediately. Might also try [Crystal Castles](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUM5aQUW2og&feature=related) and [Ratatat](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EGJuxe2c0M). Those aren’t so heavy on vocals-- in fact I think Ratatat lacks them completely-- but they’re inarguably bouncy and fun. ---

I am enjoying this thread, a lot. What about Basement Jaxx? Especially “Oh My Gosh” and “Take Me Back To Your House”. Also, one of my favourite dance songs is Fedde le Grand VS Ida Corr (Why is it VS? I never got that) - “Let Me Think About It” ---

I like [Where’s Your Head At](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8md51JnCNFQ). A couple more: Future Sound of London’s [Papua New Guinea](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCoCTkC0oL0) John Digweed’s [[URL=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rL1kXvfFhU”]Heaven Scent](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rL1kXvfFhU) ---

I’d recommend checking the playlist for WBER. The bottom of the page (Elektrobank Playlist) is updated with the latest that they’re playing, plus some older stuff as well. If you have digital TV, the Dance and Electronica channels are also a good source.
