Best dance track ever.....

[dubman]

hate that one...

oh gosh let's see um...

nope, cant say. too many to think of one above the rest.

although i suppose a strong contender i thought of is juan maclean's "give me every little thing"

I'm so disappointed in in you lot.

Where's the 242? I'm never coming back here again.

"let the music use you" the nightwriters is unbeatable.it bridges between the soul/disco roots of modern dance and the techno that was about to come.
hairs on the back of the neck material.

Oh, and you also left off Shannon's "Let the Music Play". I just don't know what this world is coming to. Everything is just falling apart. I think I'm being funny here.

I'll probably have to go with an Orbital track, probably Satan. I was 14 when I saw Orbital live and it was my first ever gig. Was only famillier with a few of their songs like Chime and Belfast and was beginning to explore underground electronica stuff as I was only real in to stuff like UW,Chems,Massive Attack etc.

The gig itself was amazing and I'll never forget the sweeping background sounds over the spoken word used in the Satan track. Then it just went loud and mental. As it happened the next day, I had to go in for an eye operation and it was the only reason I was probably allowed to go to some over 18's gig/rave where my parents probably knew people would be slighly off their face. People constantly asked for E and i'll never know what that strange green liquid was that was in a two litre plastic bottle that me and my mate were offered. We didnt drink it as it weren't no limited edition Hulk flavoured Fanta.

When we got back to school, people where all like "who are Orbital" and "electronica" is shit. Pretty much everyone in my school was in to wanky American mainstream rap with no cultural resemblance to the ghettos of Newcastle or very angry sounding nu-metal. Apparantly, you could make electronica by smashing a keyboard a few times and looping the results. Still we've had the last laugh about 9/10 years on. When people squeal my own age squaal "ooo its Phil Hartnoll" from Orbital doing a DJ set, I just laugh as I can at least say I saw them on their last proper tour which I think was The Altogehter one. The send off gigs that came with the Blue album couldn't be classed a full blown tour. Ooo, a few London gigs and Glastonbury only

[BeautifulBurnout]

the same could be said of "I Feel Love".

OK. I am really REALLY gonna put my neck on the block here and say this was the first real electronic dance hit ever. I am old enough to remember it, and although I was a rock chick at the time, with my Pink Floyds and my Led Zeps and stuff, I can remember hearing the intro and thinking "Damn. This is going to be amazing". Sure, we had had Autobahn and such at that stage, but it wasn't dance music per se.

I think I can honestly say that it opened my mind to the whole genre (which was still "just" Disco in those days, and considered to be a bit cheesy and naff). Still gives me the shivers when I hear it.

good call...

but its not that one...

mmm... there's one about lager....

[big screen satellite]

being serious though for a while, its virtually impossible to single out one or two tracks...

i mean whats the best song in the world - i couldn't name one on its own... likewise with albums...

then we get onto lists... which defeats the object, imo

so i have to say today i believe its

What Time Is Love - Original Trance Version - by the KLF

there are so many good tracks that some people love and others may loathe - i remember a list a few years back (in mixmag) had Unfinished Sympathy at number one... but is it really a dance track... not really - its a great track by a band who make quality dance music... but you can't really dance to it

i dunno i mean Donna Summer is 1970's - and classic, some greats are from the 80's and some from the 90's less so this decade... so each era and genre has its own 'best dance track'...

anyway's the best place to start is house... because house music from 1988-92 is where the best music was and still is...

go back there and choose anything you like
