laid back, "white horse"
odb, "got your money"
daft punk, "robot rock" (new, I know, but I think it's got the goods!)
skee-lo, "I wish"
mr. oizo, "flat beat"

(of course All Time is deceiving and if forced at gun-point I probably wouldn't include skee-lo but... I'm just trying to establish a vibe here! ...It'd be good to get all the floor filling bangers, obvious and not so...)
