Default Dark/Electronic dance music question

I've been thinking about putting together a compilation of dark/electronic/erotic Black Party (Saint, Troc, etc) music. Can anyone give me song suggestions?

A couple that I thought of:

"Walk The Night" Skatt Bros.

"Welcome To The Pleasure Dome" FGTH

Thanks

Two albums by Depeche Mode, "Violator" and especially "Ultra" have some of the most arresting electronic music on them I've ever heard. Ditto 2 albums by the British band the Cure: "Wish" and "Disintegration". Various recordings by Erasure, Yaz, Slowdive and Eurhythmics would also fit the bill.

I've deejayed at quite a few decadent S/M-fetish disco dungeon gigs in my time, until quite recently in fact. Tracks that went down well and complemented the sharp whiplash sounds coming from just beyond the dimly lit dancefloor and sometimes from the floor itself included:
anything by DAF (Deutsche-Amerikanische Freundshaft)
Yello: Vicious Games
Romy Haag: Susse Kirschen
Jamie Principle: Baby Wants To Ride
the entire Black Devil album
Giorgio Moroder: Evolution
Rolling Stones: Sympathy for the Devil, the long version
Cabaret Voltaire: 24/24, etc.
Amanda Lear: Nymphomania
and most importantly, everything Diamanda Galas ever did - neo-medieval cathedral wailings, hysterical screams from plaque infested pits of hell, howls of pain and no pleasure - suits you, slave.
All 80's albums by Grace Jones will come handy, too. There's loads of sinister sounding italo stuff out there as well, sparse electronic yet somehow discoey stuff by Capricorn or Bad Passion.

I know it's not disco per se but I always think Enigma's 'Sadness' would go down well at one of these sort of nights. Yello's 'Lost Again' would be good too. Oh, & Depeche Mode's 'Master & Servant' & Propaganda's 'Dr.Mabuse' are quite dark too & fairly danceable.

Speaking of which .....

Tony Orlando's
low key
DON'T LET GO


would work into this ....



Thunder, lightnin', wind and rain
(Don't let go)
(Don't let go)
Love is formin' inside my brain
(Don't let go)
(Don't let go)
I'm so eager I'm nearly dyin'
(Don't let go)
(Don't let go)
You've been keepin' your lips from mine
(Don't let go)
(Don't let go)

The hottest, most blatant S&M whip cracking dance tracks I know:
Destiny-Lauren Grey and Leah Landis
Watch Me Crawl- Marilyn Torch
Sinning/Suffer- Grace Jones
All of these tunes are clearly and undeniably and overtly odes to leathersex with no apologies.
