Dance Dance Revolution

Paris Is Burning
By Ladyhawke

New Zealand's own arcade-machine-playing, 80's-movie-named, awkward-disco-goddess, Ladyhawke came out with this album earlier this year. It's kind of a song that initially got one my nerves because it was getting over played and is way to catchy for its own good, but slowly it grew on me. Also, my sister really wanted it so I got it for her.

Granite
By Pendulum

Pendulum is like Australia's secret awesome band. While everyone in the UK is playing the same drum and bass stuff they were playing 10 years ago, these guys have managed to evolve it to new levels. It keeps the same feel as drum and bass, but does the logical thing by adding a little bit of melody to mix it up a little. Unfortunately... there's still a little unnecessary build up in this album version... but you can't have it all.

D.A.N.C.E.
By Justice

Otherwise known for making some of the best dancey music from Europe last year, Justice can also spell. They hit it big with a collaboration with another guy called Simian, and a track called "We are your friends" that caused Kayne West to have a spazz (Not a hard thing to cause apparently) at the MTV music video awards.
This song also has a pretty rad film clip, as can be seen here.
