The bestest dance traxxx ever! (Part 5)

#30 Cerrone - Supernature
See, the French were making cool funky electro-disco long before Daft Punk were invented. In fact, maybe that's Daft Punk there, in the donkey masks. Who knows?


#29 Farley Jackmaster Funk - Jack The Bass
One of the granddaddies of house music with a raw, percussion-led track that will still rock dancefloors today.


#28 Alexander Robotnik - Problèmes d'Amour
Another beautiful slice of synth-led disco funk, this time from Italian Alexander Robotnik. Love that bass sound.


#27 LFO - LFO
What do you get if you cross a Speak & Spell with a warehouse full of ravers? This is the question LFO set out to answer and, as they discovered, the combination produced a bleep house anthem.


#26 Royal House - Can You Party?
Sampling Public Enemy, Run DMC, Mantronix and the Jackson 5 (all in the first 30 seconds of the tune) - even people who weren't part of the 80s house scene recognise this blistering hand-in-the-air track. It was later ripped off in a quite wholesale fashion by Technotronic and even the Jungle Brothers - but neither touched the original.
