Ever since I've known him, my neighbor and friend of seventeen years Lord Drucifer (aka the Dark Prince) has been introducing me to new and fascinating things almost everytime I see him. The most recent thing he has shown me is the magical world of Dance Dance Revolution, and quite frankly I am very endowed to him for showing me the power of the foot. But a little before that, when I was music deprived, he introduced me to a new genre of music. It's called techno.../dance.../trance.../house.../electronica.
Now don't get me wrong, I've known and heard about this music for awhile - - I haven't been living under a rock or anything -- but only recently have I really learned to appreciate this music. My favorites artists of this kind of music, for example, are as follows: Lasgo, Ian Van Dahl, Paul Oakenfold, 4 Strings, Dirty Vegas, Echo !mage, and a vast majority of others.
Now add DDR into the mix, and I have discovered a vast array of Japanese artists such as Naoki and others. I feel I am truly expanding my playlist, and it's all thanks to the first techno song Drucifer downloaded for me, and that goes by the name of Look at Us Now by Serena Paris. But by far, I will have to say my favorite dance song ever, and one of the earliest I've ever heard is I'll Fly With You by Gigi D'Agostino. A truly touching and romantic song, it really brought shivers down my spine.
So with all of that said, I am asking members of the GameSpot community to help suggest to me other artists which sound like the aforementioned above, or if that's not possible suggest to be another group and then list their genre. Ugh.

Chemical Brothers: Exit Planet Dust
Orbital: In Sides
Prodigy: Music For the Jilted Generation
Moby: Play (But only the 2 CD box set with the bonus B-Sides CD. The B-Sides CD is better than the main release.)
These are some of the best beats you'll ever hear.
And make it a point to pickup the game Frequency (not Amplitude) for PS2. It is an awesome Techno driven game that even lets you remix the songs...
