<description><![CDATA[A revered, recognizable figure on the dance music scene since the early '90s, the enigmatic producer/DJ Moby was catapulted into mainstream stardom with the 1999 release of <I>Play</I>. A surprise hit, <I>Play</I> delved into highly personal areas in a downtempo vein never before explored in any of his previous releases. A master of such styles as techno, house, trance, ambient and breakbeat to name just a few, Moby is blessed with the ability to strike a sincere, emotive chord with a wide range of dance music devotees.

<description><![CDATA[Daft Punk assumed their reign over the French electronic scene shortly after the appearance of their second single "Da Funk" in 1995, making mere subjects of such high-profile names as Motorbass, Air and Dimitri from Paris. Transforming a heritage of early Acid House, Detroit Techno, Indie Rock and hip-hop into a flawless progressive electronica sound that made loyal followers of both staunch rock crowds and Techno fiends alike, the collaboration of Guy-Manuel de Homem Christo and Thomas Bangalter triggered a deluge of critical praise. Heavy funk-fortified House beats lumber confidently at a mid-tempo hip-hop pace, weighed down with metallic murmurs, shrill electronic squeals, and catchy vocodered vocal hooks. With a style that shifts without warning from the hard end of dance music to the easier side of the spectrum and takes care to steer clear of cliches and overwrought themes, Daft Punk is the model for crossover electronic music.

<description><![CDATA[Cascada were formed in Germany when Natalie Horler joined forces with DJ Manian and Yanou. Natalie's love of music came from her jazz musician father -- she used to practice singing Disney numbers and copying jazz classics in the home studio before rounding out her performance skills with dance lessons and acting. This portfolio no doubt helped in the crafting of Cascada's famously high-energy live performances. They are best known for their hits "Miracle" and "Everytime We Touch."

<description><![CDATA[There was a time when A-Ha carried the mantle of globally-successful Norwegian bands, but the arrival of Royksopp's Torbjorn Brundtland and Svein Berge inspired a whole new generation of melodic electronica, making Norway, and Scandinavia in general, the go-to place for hopeful A&R scouts looking for a new sound. And what a sound: gorgeous pop melodies layered over long-forgotten bits of old electronic equipment (no doubt chipped free from the very ice floes that influenced Royksopp's intimate yet sparse soundscapes). <br><br> Torbjorn and Svein met at the age of 12, and began their musical career performing Kraftwerk covers for friends. Naming themselves Aedena Cycle, they started creating their own ambient sounds reflecting their love for King Crimson, Brian Eno and the Orb -- influences that would continue to show as their production capabilities matured. Briefly joining Those Norwegians, Torbjorn sharpened his house sensibilities, and then the two friends formed Royksopp, releasing "So Easy" and signed soon thereafter by Wall of Sound. Their debut album, <I>Melody AM</I>, was a slow-burner that generated huge word of mouth and massive sales until even your postman could be heard whistling "Poor Leno" and "Eple." The music was a curious combination of electronica, downtempo, folk and pop -- catchy melodies and fun, uplifting beats that were especially needed in the overly po-faced prog house days at the beginning of the millennium. Global tours followed, accompanied by a number of award-winning and highly creative videos. Remixing requests started to come in, and soon it was possible to detect a specific Royksopp sound: the warmth of a good melody combined with a sparse clinical and washy Arctic rhythmic backdrop. Clearly not wanting to be pigeonholed, their next release, 2005's <I>The Understanding</I>, had a different feel and employed new vocalists (even using their own on some tracks), but their love of prog rock, especially the Alan Parsons Project, could still be clearly detected on tracks like "Alpha Male."

<description><![CDATA[You could be forgiven for thinking that David Guetta is famous simply for being famous: that's the message, however ironic, of "F*** Me I'm Famous," the name of both his long-running Ibiza residency and his first mix CD. But the French DJ and producer has earned his acclaim, repurposing soulful deep house with a shiny French touch and adding radio-ready vocals for a package that's pure pop panache.
<P>
Guetta's career as a producer began in 1992, when he released "Up and Away" with the Chicago vocalist Robert Owens, but it wasn't until seven years later that he returned with "Just a Little More Love," a catchy tribal-house cut. The following year, his debut album proved that its title cut was no fluke: full of hooks and vocals, the record augmented charging house beats with touches of gospel and electro and even a jubilant remix of David Bowie's "Heroes." In 2004 Guetta returned with <I>Guetta Blaster</I>, featuring club hits like Depeche Mode-flavored "The World Is Mine" and "Love Don't Let Me Go Walking Away," his smash collaboration with U.K. festival favorites the Egg; it also includes a rare downtempo remix from Paul Oakenfold. In 2009 he set his eyes firmly on the pop charts with <I>One Love</I>, featuring guest vocals from Ne-Yo, Kid Cudi and Will.I.Am. </P>

<description><![CDATA[Chicago native Ryan Raddon started out as a fan of British New Wave, listening to Tears For Fears, the Smiths and the Cult. However, after hanging around clubs with the great Frankie Knuckles behind the decks he began to develop a taste for house. By the time he attended school in Salt Lake City he was making a name for himself as a DJ and started releasing his own productions. One of them impressed OM Records so much, that they picked it up for distribution. Lured by the energetic house scene, he moved to San Francisco and joined OM in their Artist Relations department, and released his debut <I>It's You, It's Me</I> in 2003. The title track proved popular with the Lazy Dog club founders (Ben Watt and Jay Hannan), and repeated spins at their Sunday Socials led to Ryan making a name for himself as a deep house DJ. More credibility followed, with Roger Sanchez picking up two tracks for his <I>Release Yourself 2003</I> mix, and Jay Hannan launching his Society Heights label with Raddon's "In This Life" (2003) release. His latest effort <I>In The Moment</I> (2004) offers more soulful laid-back deep house for the mellow faithful.

<description><![CDATA[London's rising chill-out supastars Tom Findlay and Andy Cato are equipped with a "beats 'n' brass" sound that tones down the cheekiness of Tummy Touch label owner and friend Tim "Love" Lee. Revealing a jazz-tinted collection of disco, funk and house nuances that glitter like the contents of a treasure chest, Groove Armada prove that the gritty can shine. Solidly fragmented mellowness erupts in slow motion on arrangements decorated with delectable melodic musings from trombones, flutes, trumpets, pianos and synths. Choice vocal samples add to the sweet sensuality of mixes that send a warm rush through your body like a smile from a visually-appealing stranger. Subtly uplifting, this duo's introspectively groovy style pleads with the summer season to stay a bit longer.

<description><![CDATA[Best known for the catchy "Days Go By" (thanks to its exposure in a Mitsubishi car commercial), Dirty Vegas construct radio-ready pop tunes with a strong House influence. Their self-titled debut spent several weeks on the Billboard dance charts, but by the end of 2002 it was clear their appeal crossed genres. Much like the Pet Shop Boys, Dirty Vegas can be filed in either the electronica section, or the alt rock portion of your CD collection. The 2004 release <i>One</i> only deepened the group's crossover appeal.

<description><![CDATA[The worldwide dancefloor domination of Benny Benassi's "Satisfaction" has proven very, well, <I>pleasing</I>, to this lifelong fan of 1980s electronica, and indeed the influence of Kraftwerk, Depeche Mode and Giorgio Moroder can be clearly heard in the track's mechanized vocals and lush, driving beats. Benassi describes this dirty electro-house style as "hypnotech," and claims that the bassline for "Satisfaction" was created by his cousin Alle Benassi drawing inspiration from the sounds of traffic outside his hotel window. Much in demand for remixing duties, Benassi prefers to handpick what he likes and turn down the rest, going for quality rather than quantity. So far he has sat behind the mixing desk for Outkast, Goldfrapp, Robbie Rivera and Electric Six, among others. Production work includes his solo full-length outing, <I>Hypnotica</I>, along with his and Alle's "Benny Benassi presents The Biz" project, a more minimalist soundscape blending techno, electro and house. In 2004, Benny was nominated for three Dancestar awards and won for best video -- which just goes to show what you can achieve with some semi-naked women and a set of power tools.

<description><![CDATA[Francophiles take note: here's the latest intelligent electronic pop outfit
a la Air, Les Rythmes Digitales and the Belgian-based Hooverphonic. Aptly
placed vocal snippets lounge over dreamy arrangements made up of nature
sounds; gentle, sparkling rhythms; electronic distortion; sweet swells and
spiky sound effects. The work of Stephan Haeri, Christophe Hetier (formerly
known as DJ Anti-Pop) and Fabrice Dumont of Autour de Lucie fame,
Telepopmusik's serene, smart sounds reached a whole new echelon of listeners
beyond the clubbing set when Mitsubishi set their song "Breathe" to an SUV
commercial in 2003.

<description><![CDATA[Schiller, the project of Grammy-nominated DJ/producer Christopher von Deylen, create soothing New Age dance music with a hint of trance and ambient elements. German electronic pioneer von Deylen named the group for the famous 18th-century German poet and philosopher Friedrich Schiller. In 1998, Schiller released the hugely popular "Glockenspiel," a straight-up trance song that featured the bell-like glockenspiel sampled over a bouncy dance beat. The international success of the song pushed them to create a full-length album, and the following year, they released <i>Zeitgeist</i>. The album featured more trance singles aimed directly at the club scene, but Schiller also began venturing into ambient, New Age and breakbeat genres on future albums like <i>Voyage</i>, <i>Life</i> and <i>Prologue</i>. Schiller's musical influences include Tangerine Dream, Jean-Michel Jarre and Kraftwerk, and they count artists such as Sarah Brightman, Sinead O'Connor and Mike Oldfield as fans. In late 2008, Schiller were nominated for four Grammy Awards, including Song of the Year for the chart-topping trance single "Tired of Being Alone."

<description><![CDATA[Daft Punk tower over their indie dance acolytes like, well, a giant, gleaming pyramid. So it's only appropriate that some starry-eyed statesiders would eventually borrow not only the French duo's filters, but even one of their album titles. That would be Discovery, perhaps better known as the duo comprised of Vampire Weekend's Rostam Batmanglij and Ra Ra Riot's Wes Miles. (Perhaps to compensate, they named their debut album simply <I>LP</I>.) Their buzzing, gleaming layers of filtered synthesizers would be unthinkable without Daft Punk's influence, but they take just as much inspiration from contemporary R&amp;B, favoring jiggling, syncopated drum-machine beats and scads of breathless falsetto, often run through vocal effects like Auto-Tune. It's more than just musical tourism, though -- Discovery's wide-eyed approach to pop music has a quick wit and plenty of homespun charm.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The floor-devastating potential of production duo Simon Ratcliffe and Felix Buxton surfaced from the underground house scene with the release of their genre-swallowing debut <i>Remedy</i> in 1999. No strangers to celebratory sounds, these skillful collaborators honed their talents over the period of an entire decade that saw a slew of remixes, white labels and independent releases. Carving out a class of their own in a manner familiar to contemporary style-setters Daft Punk, these South Londoners label their chunky, U.K.-endorsed fusion of New York and Chicago House "punk garage." Basement Jaxx turn out anthem after anthem filled with colorful memorabilia of hip-hop, disco, ragga, soul, Latin and R&B, leveling crowded clubs and critics' circles alike with the force of tiny, trouble-causing tornadoes. Unequaled as yet.

<description><![CDATA[Hailing from Stockholm, Sweden, September (real name Petra Marklund) is the dance-pop singer behind hits like "Cry for You" and "Until I Die." A precocious talent, Marklund got her start in the industry early. At only 12 years old she was already recording in studios; at 18 she released her first single, "La La La (Never Give It Up)," which made it to No. 8 in Sweden's pop charts. Working alongside the songwriting and production trio of Jonas von der Burg, Niclas von der Burg and Anoo Bhagavan, September went on to release multiple singles and three albums between 2004 and 2007. A frequent visitor to various European pop charts, she represented her home country in 2007's Sopot International Song Festival, against artists like Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Thierry Amiel.

<description><![CDATA[Dance-Pop purists Robert Clivilles and David Cole formed the C + C Music
Factory in the early 1990s with rapper Freedom Williams and vocalists Zelma
Davis and Martha Walsh. They quickly made dance music history with three hit
singles that combined elements of House, rock and hip-hop: "Gonna Make You
Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)," "Things That Make You Go Hmmmm..." and "Here
We Go" (all from debut album, <I>Gonna Make You Sweat</I>). 1994's follow-up
album, <I>Anything Goes!</I> garnered only lukewarm praise. The production
team dissolved when David Cole succumbed to spinal meningitis in 1995.

<description><![CDATA[Sure, Deadmau5 wears a big red mouse head during his live shows, but that's not the only reason that the Toronto native is one of dance music's most popular producers, especially among DJs. It's his musical style that's truly attention-grabbing: Drawing tricks from electro-house, progressive and minimal, he composes big, burly tunes that absolutely own dancefloors. With his music, what you hear is what you get -- chugging rhythms, emotive synths and gnarly bass lines are his stock in trade, and any element that doesn't raise the heart rate gets left on the cutting room floor. But there is another level to Deadmau5 music. As talented an engineer as he is a composer, every sound in his music jumps out of the speakers and lodges itself deep inside you, with precision and ferocity. His bass lines are designed to rock stadiums, but you can feel their power right at home.

<description><![CDATA[Dubbed a "serious contender for meanest-looking DJ in the world" by <I>Muzik</I> magazine, Armand Van Helden repeatedly scores high on the likability meter among global dance music audiences. One of House music's top producers -- with a style rooted in '80s hip-hop, '70s Disco, and such successive dance categories as techno, trance, tribal house, and jungle/drum 'n' bass -- this fierce player is also the Pop musician's choice of remixer. A pioneer of the speed Garage sound, he is best known for his lethal, bass-heavy reworkings of the Sneaker Pimps' "Spin Spin Sugar," Ace of Base's "Living in Danger," and CJ Bolland's "Sugar is Sweeter." Firing off New York-focused, progressive house beats like missiles targeting international clubbing centers, Van Helden reigns over the worldwide house movement with the force of a dictator.

<description><![CDATA[With a groundbreaking sound that obliterates the dividing lines between Techno, Trance and Breakbeat stylings, Underworld bury a subtle Indie Rock attitude slightly beneath the textural surface of their blissful synthetic insanity. With the drop of each new release, this U.K. sensation proves their worthiness as one of the most innovative and important dance fusion acts of the 1990s. Accredited as heavy hitters in the struggle to bring dance music to the attention of the mainstream, electronica darlings Underworld continue to draw an impressive fanbase on both the international club scene and the airwaves with their widely influential style that blends electronic intricacy with king-size, floor-friendly grooves.

<description><![CDATA[Growing up in Chicago in the 1970s, Felix Stallings Jr. was exposed to classic house at a young age, including Farley "Jack Master" Funk and Kenny "Jamming" Jason. His saxophonist father also turned him on to the funk and soul worlds of Stevie Wonder and Earth, Wind & Fire, but it was house that really caught Stallings' ear, and after introducing himself to local hero DJ Pierre, he produced his first single, "Phantasy Girl," in 1987. Parental pressure to finish his schooling led him to enroll at Alabama State University (an experience he compared to prison), but a reconnection with DJ Pierre brought him back to music as a successful producer with the European smash "Thee Dawn" in 1992. As his overseas fame grew, Stallings was producing "a track a week for three different labels," using aliases like Rocketman, Outerrealm, Thee Glitz, Wonderboy and Thee Maddkatt Courtship. A meeting with Miss Kittin in Switzerland led to the award-winning <I>Kittenz & Thee Glitz</I>, an electro-punk masterpiece that had everyone yearning for "endless pleasure in a limousine." His remixing credits include Madonna, Nina Simone, Kylie Minogue and the Pet Shop Boys, and he was nominated in 2003 for a Grammy for his work on Rinocerose's "Lost Love."

<description><![CDATA[Elusive French House figure Bob Sinclar has seduced many, but is recognized by none. You've heard rumors: sexual exploits with all of the world, run-ins with Jane Fonda, hassles with Daft Punk mastermind Thomas Bangalter, and obsessions for fine wine, gourmet dining and fast cars. But does anyone know who really lies under this hedonistic 1970s chic persona? Listen to his music and find yourself not only more confused, but also drawn into his imaginary world of international intrigue against your will. A globe-trotting DJ sensation who brings back the Disco era using techniques that rival Dimitri from Paris, Sinclar layers stylish synth swells, ghostly divas impersonating porn stars and mind-freeing melodies over sweltering House rhythms. A captivating crowd-charmer, Sinclar will make you drop your inhibitions and submit to his irresistible advances.

<description><![CDATA[Rune Reilly Kolsch (aka Rune, Rune RK and Enur) struck gold in 2003 with his first release, "Calabria," a sax-driven soca-house anthem; in 2005, DJ Alex Gaudino fused it with Crystal Waters' "Destination Unknown," releasing the mash-up as "Destination Calabria." (Destination No. 4 on the U.K. singles chart would also be correct.) Not to be outdone, Rune -- now recording as Enur -- re-released the track in 2007, featuring vocals from the Danish reggae singer Natasja Saad. Remixes from Mims and Vybz Kartel, a skin-baring video and nonstop club play helped ensure the song's ubiquity.
<P>
The Danish producer's populism hasn't cost him his credibility. When he teamed up with New York soulful-house mainstay Jerome Sydenham to remix Argy's "1985," it appeared on Hamburg's Liebe Detail, a heavy-hitter in the minimal-house niche. Even stranger is the revelation that the mysterious Ink and Needle as well as the Tattoo Rec label, whose vinyl-only singles are favorites of Europe's after-hours set, are also the work of Reilly Kolsch -- proof, perhaps, that an "underground" rep is also only skin deep.</P>

<description><![CDATA[The Vienna-based duo Vlado dZihann and Mario Kamien translate their diverse heritages by crossing ethnic boundries with such concepts as Arabic strings mixed with funk, jazz, and house. Multigenre artists such as D&K are hard to categorize without simply being tossed into the broad world genre, but what keeps them away from such grouping is their European electronic vibe (a la Jazzanova and Kid Loco). Their well-received debut, <I>Freaks and Icons</I>, hit the streets in 2000 and was remixed by such house artists as Herbert, Fauna Flashh and Atjazz a year later.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Berlin's Jazzanova are standard bearers for the jazzier, more soulful side of electronic music. The group formed in 1995, bringing together six musicians -- Alexander Barck, Claas Brieler, Jurgen von Knoblauch, Roskow Kretschmann, Stefan Leisering and Axel Reinemer -- who shared deep backgrounds in soul, jazz, funk and boogie. Whereas early releases tended towards downtempo and broken beat, fusing live and sampled instruments with meticulously programmed grooves, Jazzanova have steadily moved towards a live band feel; 2008's <I>Of All the Things</I> was their most old-school record yet. But Jazzanova have kept pushing dance music forward via their record labels Jazzanova Compost Records (JCR, a collaboration with Munich's Compost label) and Sonar Kollektiv. The latter label has hosted many of the most acclaimed underground artists of the '00s, including Recloose, Roland Appel, Soulphiction, Ame and Robag Wruhme.

<description><![CDATA[Faithless' signature Progressive House/Trance stylings straddle clubland and the pop-approving mainstream. A U.K.-based outfit that started primarily as a union between producers Rollo and Sister Bliss in the early '90s, Faithless later expanded to include two vocalists who helped to earn the group international attention with the singles "Salva Mea," "Insomnia" and "Reverence." Known for producing melodic tracks filled with lush synthlines, tradition-creating club beats and mind-opening vocals, Faithless take few musical risks to keep their existing fan base entranced.

<description><![CDATA[A skilled producer influenced by beat styles belonging to such god-like hip-hop figures as DJ Premier and Prince Paul, DJ Cam creates atmospheres to intensify your most chill moods. Widely unappreciated in his country of origin, this scene-sensitive Frenchman is celebrated in the Mo' Wax-watching sectors in America, the U.K. and Japan. Bearing an atmospheric hip-hop sound rounded out with plenty of well-chosen samples, refined breaks, vinyl scratches and engaging emcees, Cam is part of the circle made up of like-minded stylists as DJ Shadow, DJ Krush and La Funk Mob. Aspects of jazz and dub deepen his diverse head-bobbing style, serving to further mystify the hip-hop phenomenon.

<description><![CDATA[Swedish DJ and producer Eric Prydz first burst onto the international club scene in 2004 with his chart-topper "Call on Me." The song, which sampled the Steve Winwood classic "Valerie," became a hit, topping the U.K. singles chart for six weeks. Before this success, Prydz was a drummer in the Swedish synth band, Enemy Alliance, a group that dreamt of becoming the next Kraftwerk. But after he began creating his own techno-funk tracks, he was eventually signed to the dance label Credence. Mixing elements of electro and minimal tech-house, Prydz creates peak-time floor fillers that are championed by some of the biggest DJs in the world. The prolific musician has also founded three successful dance labels.

<description><![CDATA[Many consider Leftfield the first act to popularize Progressive House. The duo of Paul Daley (formerly of A Man Called Adam and the Brand New Heavies) and Neil Barnes released "Leftism" in 1995, demonstrating a wide range of styles including Ambient, '80s New Wave, Dub, New Age Electronic, and House. They spent a number of years on remix projects such as working with Stereo MC's and with David Bowie on the "Jump They Say" remix. Four years after their debut they released <I>Rhythm and Stealth</I> in 1999 and remixes of both LPs followed in 2000.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Like the Streets before him, London rapper/producer Dizzee Rascal melded hip-hop with garage music, released his domestic debut on a primarily indie-rock label (Matador), and earned massive press accolades both in the U.S. and in the U.K. The two have something else in common: while most hardcore hip-hop heads aren't really feeling them, they are popular with dance and indie fans. To be sure, the young (he was 18 when his debut LP dropped) artist is talented, and his approach is both unusual and unique, experimenting with different rhythms and pushing the envelope with his beats. Dizzee's first album <I>Boy In Da Corner</I> won a Mercury Prize in his home country, and its single "Fix Up, Look Sharp" even found airplay here on MTV2 and at countless hipster parties. Whether or not he can capitalize off the hype remains to be seen.

<description><![CDATA[London's Simian Mobile Disco grew out of the indie rock band Simian, whose song "We Are Your Friends" catapulted them into the indie dance spotlight on the strength of Justice's well-loved remix. As S.M.D., James Ford and James Shaw abandoned most of their rock trappings in favor of an indie dance sound with roots in '80s synth-pop and acid house. They grew their rep with frequent appearances on Paris' Kitsune label before breaking out with their debut longplayer in 2007. Titled in homage to synthesizer waveforms, <I>Attack Sustain Decay Release</I> swirls together bits of Phuture, New Order, Zapp and other retro touchstones without ever losing its freshness. At a time when peers like Justice were redefining electro as a genre to be measured in headbanging intensity, <I>A.D.S.R.</I> stood out for its relative restraint. Simian Mobile Disco returned in 2009 with <I>Temporary Pleasure</I>, on which cameos from Jamie Lidell, Beth Ditto, Gruff Rhys and Hot Chip's Alexis Taylor -- plus forays into freestyle, techno and EBM -- helped expand the group's already ambitious range.

<description><![CDATA[Groove Collective have become a signature sound of both Acid-Jazz and New York City with their funky instrumental tracks and hip hop inspired grooves. Their multi-faceted sound benefits from a wide variety of instruments, including horns, vibes and percussion. The amazing thing about this sprawling 14-piece ensemble is that each member is good enough to lead a group of their own, but somehow they find a way to lay back and chip in the perfect rhythmic part to fit the song. From Latin madness to Drum 'n' Bass, Groove Collective have found a new way to play danceable music, thick with intense jazz improvisation.

<description><![CDATA[<P>Disco lives -- thrives, in fact -- in the work of Hercules and Love Affair, the New York outfit helmed by the red-haired wunderkind Andrew Butler. Dedicated to the golden days of club culture, the band combines elements of the early '80s -- electronic disco and Chicago house -- with melancholy riffs and atmospheres and clever songwriting full of subtle twists and turns. As a teenager, Butler began DJing in the leather bars of his hometown, Denver; by college, he was applying his talents to contemporary composition and conceptual art. But the dance bug still lurked within. When, after moving to New York, he discovered that its dancing days were all but over, he set about working to rectify that.</P>
<P>In 2007, Butler teamed up with DFA's Tim Goldsworthy to release the "Classique" single; the following year he returned with "Blind," an out-of-nowhere mind-melter featuring the voice of none other than Antony Hegarty, of Antony and the Johnsons. Shortly thereafter, Hercules and Love Affair released their eponymous debut album, with Antony's space-castrato voice the undeniable centerpiece on an album brimming with springy arpeggios, lugubrious bass lines and bright, brassy horns.</P>

<description><![CDATA[Stateside commercial sensation BT is labeled as a Progressive House purveyor, a self-proclaimed Anglophile, a recognized film score producer, and a staunch advocate of dance music innovation with a deep affection for the U.K. scene. Credited with turning out some of the most epic and soul-boosting tracks in House and Trance history, this critically acclaimed musician composes records that are both emotive and memorable to international followers with impeccable taste. Corralling the most moving melodies that acoustic guitars and pianos can produce, BT backs up each lush soundscape with breakbeats bent on demolishing the dancefloor. Forever forward-looking, BT's unpredictable, ever-changing style takes the Progressive arena to the next level by fusing breakbeat elements with Drum 'n' Bass effects.

<description><![CDATA[With a pop-oriented electronic sound beckoning remixers from all over the dance music map, this female-fronted trio turns out eclectic tracks fraught with emotion. Ranging in tempo to encompass a spectrum of moods, Soulstice imagines the future in vibrant shades of blues and reds. Gina Rene's jazzy, earthbound vocals glide easily over life-affirming House, Jungle and slow hip-hop beats held together with expressive organic and inorganic melodies. Hopelessly optimistic and inarguably catchy.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Deep Dish's Sharam "Sharam" Tayebi and Ali "Dubfire" Shirazinia hail from Iran, but it was in Washington, D.C. that they established themselves as two of America's top DJs and producers, probing virtually every nook and cranny of house music: deep, tribal, tech, progressive -- you name it. Collaborating with Carl Craig and remixing Madonna, they have proven unusually adept at bridging underground and mainstream, a talent that elevated them to the world's biggest clubs and festivals and earned them frequent-flier status with themed mix CDs touching down in Dubai, Toronto, Moscow, Ibiza and more. In 2006 they increasingly focused on their solo careers, with Dubfire enjoying underground acclaim for his work with Martin Buttrich, his label Desolat and releases on Richie Hawtin's Minus label.

<description><![CDATA[Formed in 2001, Audio Bullys are Simon Franks and Tom Dinsdale, two suburban Londoners who grew up listening to hardcore, garage and house, along with the Kinks, the Beatles and the Specials. Franks grew up in a musical family, learning to play piano and drums at an early age. Dinsdale took the DJing route and was resident at London's Milk N' 2 Sugars event at the age of 17. Their love of a good tune, combined with a passion for cutting loose and larging it with the masses, was entirely evident in their debut release, <I>Ego War</I> (2003). Dubbed "lad house," their sound neatly blended all their influences and picked up where Basement Jaxx left off -- dance music for people who want a bit of a shout. The initial single "We Don't Care" set out their manifesto, and club land embraced it. Their lyrical approach is much like that of the Streets' Mike Skinner: small tales of urban life and general reactions to the everyday. Their follow-up, <I>Generation</I> (2006), suffered slightly from second album syndrome, but nonetheless still demonstrated their musical skill, particularly with the single "Shot You Down" that sampled Nancy Sinatra's <I>Kill Bill</I> soundtrack opener, "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)."

<description><![CDATA[Described by the now-defunct <I>The Face</I> magazine as "Scotland's answer to Royksopp," Mylo (aka Myles MacInnes) burst onto the British electronic music scene in 2004 with <I>Destroy Rock And Roll</I>. His sound, a refreshing blend of house and poppy electro with fat bass lines and clever samples, belied the fact that the album was mostly created at home on his computer. Such self-sufficiency also led to Myles eschewing the need for label representation and instead creating his own -- Breastfed -- with a couple of friends. Hugely popular, and making many a critic's top 10 albums of the year in 2004, his debut set MacInnes up on the international DJing and live performance circuit, with remixing work coming in from Sia, Annie and the Scissor Sisters. He also wisely chose to embrace the mash-up phenomenon by agreeing to release "Doctor Pressure" -- a blend of his "Drop the Pressure" hit and "Doctor Beat" by the Miami Sound Machine.

<description><![CDATA[Acclaimed for creating a number of dents in the U.K. Top 40 charts, this genre-defying trio conquered a variety of dance floor trends: Acid House, Trip-Hop, Trance and Big Beat. Accomplished remixers whose credits include tracks originating from such eclectic acts as New Order, Frankie Goes to Hollywood and Bjork, former housemates Jon Fugler, Mike Tournier and Mike Bryant have earned a reputation for eluding categorization with a vengeance and a smirk. Fluke's still-growing following tends not toward the flighty, trend-sensitive set, but to dedicated loyalists addicted to the trio's ever-changing sound.

<description><![CDATA[The Liverpool-based, Dadaist and punk-inspired career of the KLF (Kopyright Liberation Front) has been built upon a succession of industry pranks, beginning with the sample-heavy acid house movement of the late 1980s and early '90s. Essentially the duo of Bill Drummond and Jimi Cauty, the group began as the Justified Ancients of Mu-Mu (JAMS); later, a one-off stint as the Timelords resulted in a minor hit with "Doctorin' the Tardis." Never ones to hide their contempt for the music industry, at the point they struck fortune in England with the soulful hits "3 A.M. Eternal" and "What Time Is Love?," they refused to play the songs straight, instead asking grindcore favorites Extreme Noise Terror to be the backing band. In addition to spraying crowds with faux machine-gun bullets and reportedly dumping a sheep's carcass in a hotel lobby, the band has also written a manual on how to write pop songs. They have since refused to release any more music until world peace has arrived.
