i can't promise that the releases i liked were from last year though. i have a tendency to ignore the new and dig for older gems. most of the stuff i really loved last year wasn't even from last year.
Crosstown Digital Rebels? They don't have that many releases

There is good melodic dance music these days, however you won't find it on top of hipster's charts or recommended in cool new techno threads. You'll have to find it on your own and it'll be harder than 15 years ago (when Leftfield and Underworld were mainstream) since modern dance music heads towards heavy minimization and demelodization (yeah, I made up that word). But the real question is why do you want melodic dance music, when there's shitload of non-dancey melodic and unmelodic music that sounds a hundred times better (and it's not restrained with that stupid four-to-the-floor)? But whatever, here is couple of melodic and not so standard dancey tracks from 2008 I found interesting:
Some more (couldn't find the videos):
Omar-S - The Further You Look - The Less You Will See
The Black Dog - Train By The Autobahn (Part 3)
Los Hermanos - Central Nervous System
Obsolete Music Technology - Evening Star
Derek Carr - Sis
