One hour playlist for a birthday party on friday night: a dream...

1. Heart it races - Architecture in Helsinki
   Fantastic gigg on tuesday at La Maroquinerie: keep dancing on the steel drums!
   
   
2. Over and over - Hot Chip
   Laid back dancing, the perfect moto to start a playlist...
   
   
3. Whoo! Alright Yeah... Uh Huh - The Rapture
   The Rapture, 3 years ago: the first time I saw a rock crowd turning into a pure club dancefloor.
   
   
4. Damaged goods - Gang of four
   Fantastic bassline, punk energy and political lyrics: 28 years after, Gang of Four still rules.
   
   
5. It's getting boring by the sea - Blood red shoes
   Young english duo: the White Stripes have discovered cow bells and dance.
   
   
6. Daft Punk is playing in my house - LCD Soundsystem
   James Murphy, the fat leader of the modern dancing rock.
   
   
7. Atlantis to Interzone - Klaxons
   The British music press almost invented Nu-Rave after hearing the Klaxons. With such a single, it is easy to lose your mind.
   
   
8. Hotdog - Simian Mobile Disco
   Catchy tunes, electro with rock energy, strange videos, and strong production work (Klaxons, Arctic Monkeys): would you want more?
   
   
9. We are your friends - Justice VS Simian
   Justice transformed this old song by Simian into dancefloor madness, triggering their career, and the dancing evolution of Simian.
   
   
10. Jimmy - M.I.A.
    Bollywood samples, Shiva arms and flowing dance.
    
    
11. Take me back to your home - Basement Jaxx
    Crazy videos, crazy singles always at the top, and crazy unused sounds. This time, I ask for the balalaika.
    
    
12. Blue Monday - New Order
    New Wave was not only synth pop singles... I NEEDED to select this alltime classic!
    
    
13. Electricity - O.M.D.
    Gently back to some rock... Yes, OMD knew once how to play guitar.
    
    
14. I melt with you - Modern English
    And finish with a pure new wave hit, the kind of song you will never dare to put in a favorite list, but so sweet, sweet, sweet.

Bonus Track: Step On - Happy Mondays
Youre twistin my melon man, you know you talk so hip man, Call the Cops, hey hey hey hey
