To kick off my contributions to the cheetah lovefest I present to you a mix of the hottest of the hot: ELECTRO. This movement, fueled by the unstoppable energy of the French dance scene superstars such as Justice, Daft Punk and Sebastian, represents the inevitable reemergence of disco sensibilities through the fusion of electronic and more guitar based rock. While electro's home is certainly the dance floor, this sythesis has created some of the most intense, energetic and driving music being produced today.
While this mix may not represent the newest electro music available, it is certainly some of the most essential. Beginning with the a celebration of that most essential life-blood of electro in the form of the "ecstasy trilogy" and moving directly into some of the most fantastically hedonistic dance music ever created, these songs are the absolute pinnacle of one of the greatest genres to emerge in the last decade.
