New Order - Crystal. I've been playing the hell out of this tune for like three years now and it never gets old. But I've yet to find another track as enjoyable that meshes elements of EDM and rock so well. It has a deep dance groove but uses elements of rock n' roll while maintaining accessible pop sensibilities. Are there any other tracks you can think of that stride this line so well? I know the track was the inspiration for the formation of The Killers, and they're the closest I've found. But man, that breakdown in Crystal is unlike anything else I've ever heard.

Yeah, this genre is awesome. So easy to chill to, or pregame to. I love D.M. and Extreme Ways. Moloko also hits close to the spot, but there's just something about Crystal... I don't know. I'll check out Brutal though, I haven't heard that one actually. Thanks for the suggestions!
