Dancing to Aphex Twin or Autechre doesn't sound very fun. Maybe getting a cavity filled?

Aphex uses glitched out mathy beats that would be very difficult to "dance" to in most instances.

Autechre, same thing. Even less "dancey"

If anything, these artists are deconstructing techno.

Dance music? Pylon. James Brown. Gang of Four. Kraftwerk. etc.

What you guys are talking about is Electronic music, etc.

I was just thinking of this dude earlier this morning: Arthur Russell

out hud's first album, street dad, is really good music to which one could dance.

If you can't stand the socio-musical pedantry, stay out of the PRF.

Hey, will do...except I don't even know what PRF means...

Oh, and second on the Adult. Except for one album, I've liked everything they have done. First heard them on the 'Le Car' compilation, which has a lot of other, similar raw disco-nazi crap.

I'm still curious is the OP was referring to any danceable music, or music of the genre called "Dance Music." Actually, if such a thing exists, it's a pretty ambiguous category, no? Is there a "Dance" section at record stores?

I can shake my booty to just about any Death From Above 1979 remix. It is the hott shitt.

There often is in the UK.

The 'dance' branch of the Record & Tape Exchange (huge, frustrating complex of 2nd hand shops in Notting Hell) used to have dividers for all sorts of genres that I have never seen or heard of anywhere else. 'Ladbroke Groove' was a good one.
