    Default Techno "lite"?

    I adore techno, but my current club is kind of a blue-collar dive and techno seems to scare people. You should have seen the horrified reactions from guys when we tried to play 'Sandstorm' once.

    There are a few songs though that are really well received, they get the crowd pumped up and get me a lot of stage tips:
    a "spin spin sugar" remix
    "the stars" (moby)
    "ready steady go" (oakenfold)
    anything by Tatu
    "kiss the sky"
    "break up" (Cascada)
    "the world is mine" (david guetta)
    the dance remix of "day and nite" by Kid Cudi...
    but I'm getting really sick of playing the same songs over and over again!

    So I need ideas for other songs that are, shall we say, "lite techno": songs that have the beat and sound of techno, but think more catchy/danceable (dare I say maybe even a little pop-ish?) and less hard-core electronica.
