I agree on funk with George Clinton. Definitely gets you going. Ska is good too. When I was in school we had a band local to Virginia called Fighting Gravity. I think their named changed but they were awesome. Always a packed crowd at the bars. Some of the 70s and 80s songs make good dance songs. DJ Mikko stands out in my mind. You also cant go wrong with Erasure. The clubs in DC used to play their music a lot when I was in school.
