The Charleston Meets Daft Punk

The Charleston is a dance named for the city of Charleston, South Carolina. The rhythm was popularized in the United States of America by a 1923 tune called The Charleston by composer/pianist James P. Johnson which originated in the Broadway show Runnin' Wild and became one of the most popular hits of the decade.

Works well with ska too, see Kortatu's Sarri Sarri, somekind of Contemporary Soul and Jumpstyle (a form of electronica).
