Re: Best dance acts/producers of all time...
To add to your list, which is basicly what I would choose,
Trentemoller
William Orbit
Unkle
DJ Shadow
Air
Bent
Zero 7
probably not dance acts as such and I'm sure there are other producers I could think of of I went through my cd collection.

Red Snapper(my all time live favourites)
Kraftwerk
Herbaliser
Alpha
Lamb
Spring Heel Jack
LTJ Bukem(under his various guises)
T-Power("self evident truth" alone means he has to go on the list)
Will probably edit again in a minute as my brain starts to wake up

Just Marc Royal on his own for me, Shy FX(as an early jungle producer/dj) has put out some great tunes but was never too keen on their more commercial bouncy stuff they put out when they linked up. T-Powers Self Evident Truth of an Intuitive Mind album is an all time classic IMO!
