Pilooski

Some proper classic disco remixes happening from this guy at the moment, unfortunately I wasn't around first time for some of the bands he's remixed but it sounds like he's done a damn good job of taking them into the 21st century.
It's actually been quite difficult to choose which to post cos they're so damn good!

Hybridized

I stumbled across this website a few months ago and it's got some really nice prog mixes on it.
Some older ones from the likes of Hybrid and Nu Breed, and some newer ones from Way Out West and Shiloh.
It's worth a look if you like driving beats, swirling atmospheres and cool new noises and I think there's some old skool mixes kickin about as well for all the die hards out there

Here's the link for Hybridized

and here's the links to a couple of my favourite mixes,

just click the link and the download should pop up

Andrew Kelly - Drag N Drop Sessions

Shiloh - Live At Club Escape (Bulgaria)

I'd also recommend checking some of Shiloh's own tracks over at myspace

Lindstrom & Prins Thomas

I went to see Lindstrom earlier this year and was completely blown away. It was a completely new experience going out to dance to something a little bit more groovy. Some of his productions are quite awe inspiring but to hear it all mashed together with live effects was a supreme disco voyage. To follow Lindstrom's live set we were treated to a mean house groove from his partner in crime Prins Thomas. These guys know how to work the crowd and had the dancefloor packed all night.

Here's a live set of Lindstrom I found kicking about the net

Chicken Lips

I've always been a fan of his remixes, but there's a few of his own tracks that really do it for me as well. The best way to judge a dance track is by crowd reaction, how many folk turn their heads towards the DJ or how many folk are on autopilot losing it on the dancefloor. This one in particular got everyone by the balls last weekend, probably down to the zany effects plastered throughout.

This is from the 2000 Echoman album on Kingsize Records.

getFUNKdup on b00mb0x

First of all I'd like to post a link to my own mixes. They are hosted on a great little website called b00mb0x. It's a "mixtape" site with a good few regular posters, all doing something different, and it's not all electronica either, there's something for everyone on there with new mixes popping up all the time.
Here are the links -
