Well I think your question is one big can of worms that a lot of people are
wisely keeping away from because ineveitably it will spawn a "My music is the
most smartest and yours is dum." thread. But really, it all depends on how
you define "Intelligent" music. If you mean music that is created by people
with a good idea of what their own colon looks like, then there's not a lot
out there that you can dance to because quite a few "artists" out there are
deliberately making undanceable music as some sort of a statement. Never mind
that this statement has already been made several times over and what should
be done now is taking what we have learned from the odd polyrhythms of such
music and applying it to music that can make you think with your booty. But
thats just my opinion.
Anyway, here's some stuff that I think is a little more dancefloor than your
average bedroom techno or a little more bedroom than your average dancefloor
techno.
Underworld
The Orb
Some Orbital
Fluke
Some Leftfield
Roni Size
There are plenty of others, but I have to run. Hope that helped.
