Iconic Dance Tracks

Should add, I never saw Underworld, but walkedpast the Northumbria SU on my way into town when they were playing and Born Slippy were playing and I've never heard anything like it, I genuinely thought the windows would come through. We had a pint in the SU bar underneath and the roof was vibrating.
 
So many to mention
Faithless - Insomnia
Chicane - Saltwater
Delerium - Silence
Robert Miles - Children
Eric Prydz - pjanoo
Darude - Sandstorm
Avicii - wake me up
Tiesto - adagio for stings
Could be here all day ha ha

God I love the dance classics.
Not sure I’d have Avicii on there. 9am Til I Come instead.
 
One not for the masses, the Club Mix of Exploration of Space by Cosmic Gate - 9 mins of pure bliss.

Then there is Tilman Urmacher - On the Run.
Dirt Devils - The Drill
Minimalistic - Close Cover
4 Strings - Take me away (instrumental version, not the original lyrical - although the Purple Haze remix is great)
 
Prodigy - Charlie
808 State - Pacific State
Future Sound of London - Papua New Guinea
Inner City - Big Fun
Tony De Vit - Are you all Ready
Mory Kante - Yeke Yeke
The Shaman - Ebeneezer Goode
KLF - What time is Love
Altern 8 - Activ 8
U96 - Das Boot
Guru Josh - Infinity
URURSA - Open your Mind
Joey Beltram - Energy Flash

That’s a great list, I absolutely loved Energy Flash.


 
Stumbled across this. Ther's a few beauties on there!

Belfast Orbital will always epitomise euphoric trance for me.

Belfast was released in 1991 when there was no such thing as "Euphoric Trance" :) In the terminology of the time it would have been classified as Techno or Ambient. Trance was a term rarely used in Dance music before 1993, then Paul Oakenfolds "Goa Trance" R1 Essential Mix of Dec 1994 brought it to a wider audience. Belfast is still not Trance, though...

Anyway, summarising over 30 years of electronic dance music in all it's different forms in one short list is absurd. I could create a Dance Top 40 for every year from 1987 to 2000 and there would still be hugely influential tracks missing

Apologies for my error. If you look at the time of night I posted it and what day of the week it was you might have your answer ;)
 
The sound track to Kevin and Perry go Large has some Incredible tracks on it. One of the best movie soundtracks.

when I was about 13 me and a couple of mates would watch it 3/4 times a day during the school holidays. We were obsessed. We were on a rotation that and Snatch
 
And my missus still winds me up about it for some reason and just keeps coming out with “superstar DJ” randomly every so often

No problem, I've made many drunken posts myself. And I used to DJ part time in NW, NE & London from 1989 - 1998 so I'm a stickler for classification. As Belfast is only 119 BPM it belongs more in a Balearic Beat type set than Trance, which is usually well above 130BPM :LOL:
