Dance off with your pants off! Any dance music compilations you'd like to recommend? →[More:]I just rediscovered Eric Prydz' "Call On Me" video (not even close to SFW) and realized that I really haven't purchased any super dancy music in a while. I usually prefer compilations over albums for variety's sake, but whatever: hit me with whatcha got!

It's all about the Germans for me. YMMV. Not all German below, but most are.
Superlongevity 3
Immer
Speicher 1
Speicher 2
Kompakt 100
Philip Sherburne - Schaffel Is Stronger than Pride: (free download)
DJ Glow has some very nice (free) mixes
Richie Hawtin in Moscow (free download - haven't heard it, but he's pretty reliable. A ton more that look decent on that same site)

mcgraw knows what he's talking about.

I'd be remiss not to mention Lenlow, whose unbelievably great mashup J-Lo vs K-Co vs S-Wo is a current fave.

bmarkey: Ha! I own that set. It's fantastic, but I'm looking for stuff a little more current. And significantly higher in the BPM count.

Erlend Oye DJ Kicks, Superpitcher Today, Kompakt Total 6, John Tejada The Toiling of Idle Hands, Swayzak Loops from the Bergerie, Ellen Allien.

Definitely Erlend Oye.

This is probably more chillout, but any of the 18th Street Lounge compilations are good.

Urbanwhaleshark knows his techno. Hope he shows up.

Ah. Well, I can't help you there. Good luck.

DFA Compilation #1

I'm a big fan of the Metropolis Records Critical Mass series, in terms of comps.
one two three four

May fit the higher BPM requirement. Kind of all over the modern industrial/ebm spectrum, too.
And the fourth has the video for Covenant's Bullet, which is just amazing.

Plus, under $5 each. (actually, most of the comps on Metropolis are on sale right now, the vast majority under $10. There goes my paycheck)
