Die Antwoord are hip-hop and Electric Six can at a stretch be described as 'dance-rock', no?
That's the thing, it kinda depends on what you like dancing to I guess. I mean, probably my favorite music to dance to is hip hop and dancehall, neither of which are really "dance music" in the classic sense of the term.
I'm too lazy to post links and shit, but some dancey stuff I've been into lately:
New Orleans Bounce: Big Freedia, Katey Red, Sissy Nobby, Magnolia Shorty (older, 90s bounce), Gypsyphonic Disko, 6th Ward Queenie, Nobby, Flyboy Keeno
Baltimore Club: Tim Dolla, Aaron Lacrate, Low Budget, Spank Rock (most of his stuff is at least bmore influenced), Doc Adam, Bosstone
Queer trappy hip hop: HOUSEofLaDOSHA, Mykki Blanco, Le1f, Cakes da Killa, Brooke Candy
This is a sweet article about a lot of new DnB shit that's been happening in Chicago and name drops a lot of great producers worth checking out. Speaking of Chicago, the Glory Boys and OTF people are pretty on top of their shit right now (you've probably already heard at least Chief Keef) -- not necessarily the danciest stuff, but whatever, can be fun to move to.
One of the best ways to find shit like this is to download mixtapes off datpiff or other sites like that
Also,
Generation Bass is a goldmine for finding shit that's happening outside of the U.S./Western Europe
oh yeah, forgot to mention Bonde do Role, amazing Brazilian group that does a weird combo of baile funk, pop, punk, and basically everything else you can think of.
