Need some recommendations for Bat Mitzvah

Ok, some of you have probably seen one or two of my threads asking for releases of certain songs. The catch is, I'm looking for good vocal trance tunes that have edits or radio mixes (to not get the crowd bored), and stuff that would probably get a generally hip hop/pop group of people to dance. So far my sister wants these:

4 Strings - Take Me Away
Masters & Nickson - Out There
Paul van Dyk - Another Way

If you guys have any other recommendations, since my sister said I can fill the rest of the CD up to give to the "DJ" with stuff I'd like, please post some.

paul oakenfold - Southern Sun
Jan johnston - am i on pause
blaze - my beat
romeo choo choo - beats vol 2
paul oakenfold - ready steady go
dirty vegas - days go by
amoeba assassin - piledriver
andain - beautiful things
motorcycle - as the rush comes

(you asked for stuff more mainstream, there you go )

Zombie Nation - Kernkraft 400

-Be careful with this one. It may be too hard for the crowd, but it is well-known.

Utada Hikaru - Simple and Clean (PlanetB Remix)

-This is a great set opener. You might remember it from Kingdom Hearts. The full version is available on Utada's "Colors" single. You'll have to import it, though.

DJ Sammy - Heaven, Sunlight

-I call Heaven cheese, but Sunlight is respectable, and both will work the pop crowd well.

Basement Jaxx - Good Luck (Tim Deluxe Club Mix)

-Has a great funky House vibe going for it. You might want to try other Jaxx songs from the album "Rooty"

Daft Punk - Around The World (MAW Remix)

-This is spot-on House. Guaranteed to please, or your crowd is a bunch of stiffs. Just a great mix.

trance/house doesnt go over well with a bar mitzvah crowd. trust me, I have experience in this field

kids hate that shit because their friends dont like it, that age is the worst for that type of behaviour

Britney Spears feat. Madonna - Me Against The Music (the remix on her album)
All the "club remixes" of people like Micheal Jackson, Tom Jones, etc.

of course it depends on the crowd, but tracks like ATRC and Beautiful things wont go over

I know, I went through bar mitzvahs myself when I was her age. However she likes some stuff from this DDR she plays, and one of the songs happens to be 4 Strings - Take Me Away. She knows I listen to trance and wanted to know other songs like it that she could compile onto a CD to give to the "DJ" later this week.
