A question for anyone who has followed EDM for a long time
Have there ever been any attempts to incorporate screaming, rapping, or any other vocal style into EDM rather than the usual female/male vocal trance or odd male tech-house sounds?
And I'm not talking about a rapper flowing over an electro-style top 40 track that some hack produced for him. I'm talking about a legit EDM producer making a track and then calling in someone to do the vocals in a completely different way.
Everything I've heard up to this point sounds like this:
Or this (cue a wave of fanboys complaining how I compared such a good track like this to a shite track above):

This stuff already exists / existed. It's called Eurodance.
Edit: How come that Tiesto track is not in this thread yet???
Scott has been introduced to the rave scene, and Ecstasy, by Craig. The two of them go out on the weekends, with some of Craigs friends, and stay up all night, dancing in a drug-fueled trance.

No, it has never been done before.
Nope, not at all.
No way, no how.

Have you ever heard of early 90s euro dance? You really should try it.
Hip-house did it.
Eurodance did it.
Progressive house did it.
Drum 'n bass did it.
Big beat did it.
Electroclash did it.
Dubstep does it.
...to name but a few.
