No balls anymore to pick a true hit broken by a DJ. Anyway, some REAL dance artists you can always count on are found on labels like Ministry Of Sound, Defected Records and OM Records just to name 3. Oh and Ultra. From those 4 labels you can start with the mix compilations by DJs mainly; the artists featured are usually the biggest and best in dance music around the world. Oh let me not forget Hed Kandi Records...supreme compilations mixed and unmixed of great dance music and the stuff is current. Now you have NO EXCUSE.

It has NOTHING to do with the album. Learn your facts before you diss CC over fake controversy.

It's not even a very good album. Then again, look at the source: Amazon. This is more about the best SELLING dance & DJ albums of the year. Actually, that's sort of a shite category in itself. I will say, Hot Chip have been strangely addictive. They know how to write a catchy tune. Don't like all of it, but I keep hearing "Ready For The Floor" over and over (tee hee) in my head.

And I state again, Hot Chip is shit. Ratatat on the other hand is pretty good creative stuff.
