Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
Detroit vocals, Scottish Stems, and Russian remix skills conspire to create one of my favorite tracks of the year.
Be sure to look out for Chris and Rai's full album 'Small Band Of Insignificant People' due out later this year.

Mr. Moon Boots... 'don't you ever go away.'

In classic Star Slinger style, Darren slumps the vocals and warps the beat into kinetic overdrive.

I've never heard a song about unrequited love quite as fun as this one

6. Emeron and Fox - Nightmares (Monitor 66 Remix) [PANTS DANCE EXCLUSIVE]
Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
Monitor 66 puts it on slow burn and lets things simmer. As with most house the mood is mostly self-contained, but a few variations slip through like a cool breeze on an indian summer beach day.

Tourist spellbinds us with dislodged oratorios and fashionable synths.

8. Rogue Vogue - When I Looked At You
Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
Producing deep, sophisticated Disco/House music in the Windy City, Rogue Vogue pays homage to the sweaty club nights of the late '80s/early '90s where Ron Hardy, Frankie Knuckles, and Paul Johnson reigned supreme.
9. Ladyhawke - Blue Eyes (Jacques Renault Remix)
Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
Without dethroning the edge of the original, Jacques repurposes Lady's vocals to spruce rather than supervise; it's really just an excuse to groove to an imperishable 90s vibe.
10. Queens of the Stone Age - Make It Wit Chu (Virgin Magnetic Material Remix)
Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
Make it? Let's just make out.

Two of our catchiest 'friends' congregate. The outcome is predictably tuneful.
12. Cassette Club - Flash (Ben Macklin Remix)
Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
Ben Macklin reminds us that a good remix isn't always about augmentation. By absolving a few elements from the drive-soundtrack worthy original (not a knock even if it sounds like one), he successfully re-designates it for the dance floor.

While we're here, the whole world is turning
We should be, one, fulfilling the yearning
14. Pat Lok - Remember

Pat was nice enough to give this one up for a free download after it hit 5,000 plays. It can be our little secret that a few hundred of those were from the Pants Dance team.

15. Finnebassen - Monday (Finnebassen Remake)
Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
You may recognize the vocal from Jade's 1994 jam "Everyday of the Week." If not, don't worry, this kind of smoke can be enjoyed at any age.
