Got the new copy of NME? In it you’ll find our feature about the 20 most groundbreaking dance acts in the world. All of them are smashing the boundaries of the genre right now, whether it’s by squishing new shapes out of dubstep, dragging Noel Gallagher onto the psychedelic danceloor or some other such cheer-worthy feat, and whether you spend your weekends throwing your hands in the air like you just don’t care or not, you need to check all of them out.
