turbo Negro
AC/DC
kasier Chiefs
Johnossi
Mando Diao
Airbourne
The Who
and other kinds of Rock, Indie and stuff.
And yes this music is "danceable" ;-)

Unfortunately, the majority of attendees and especially the fursuiters disagree. We started the BBF dance with rock music once, and it wiped the dancefloor. Good news is, that we'll be trying some alternative music styles at the piano bar this time, so not all is lost.
I can only stress that the EF dances are mass events, so you need to aim for the lowest common denominator. Techno might not be everyone's favourite, but it's obviously the least controversial option. It's the "hamburger and french fries" equivalent on music. Perhaps no haute cuisine, but (when it's done well) reproducably the thing the vast majority is happy with, if you're hungry.
(Guess what the most ordered meal at the restaurant in the maritim hotel is during the convention ... )

I agree, but I wouldn't restrict it to Techno only. The important thing is to choose tracks that create a positive feeling, a great party atmosphere, making people happy. The DJs at EF did a pretty good job at this in the last few years. But I remember my very first furdance at MMC8 (still have a video from this event on my HD) where no techno/trance was played, but mostly 80s and 90s pop music - and the dancers were very excited, it was just awesome :)
Some examples:
Frankie goes to Hollywood - Relax
Frankie goes to Hollywood - Two Tribes
Kiss - I was made for lovin you
Rocksteady Crew - hey you
Real Life - Send me an Angel (1989 version)

Actually - the Maritim Burger was a pretty good burger, and seemed the best value of available meals or snacks when offered in the lobby. Stan Sakai enjoyed his, certainly. But one couldn't just live on Maritim Burgers.
Completely Unrelated to the subject of suitable dance music - is there any particular sort of Folk music associated with the vicinity of Magdeburgh? I need some sort of cultural fulfillment, after all.

Believe me... you don't want to listen to German folk music ::)
