Along the lines of something that's twitchy & micro, new and retro, but also lush, with large doses of swingy, singy,
sassy girly vocal house (but no screamers) and funky bits. And disco.
I'm not sure exactly what kind of aesthetic I'm craving here, but it would probably be equal parts Sylvie Marks, Superpitcher and Betty Boo and if I had to encaspulate the whole idea in a single track it would probably be Cola Boy - "Seven Ways to Love".
But considering this whole idea sounds so 'boutique' in the first place, am I missing a really obvious DJ mix?

really? will have to look into that.. I skipped it at the time.
I was thinking about investigating Annie's DJ Kicks, or the JLC fabric mix. Just had a feeling they might be a bit too punk-funk.
I so wanted that Immer 2 joke tracklist to be real!
Katamari Damacy?? weird. That needs a re-investigation (if you're serious) then.

Unexpected recommendations! I've heard of this Katamari Damacy before, but thought it was more along the lines of crazy-dayglo-computer-japaneseness. Will investigate, cheers.

I meant to post this a while ago, but had some trouble with uploading...
I'd highly recommend Doc Martin's Fabric Mix. He nicely straddles the line between minimal and disco, and damn that man knows how to mix! He's got to be the king of sequencing, IMO. OK, OK, I realize I'm proselytizing
from the site:
"... I wanted to do this CD live, I didn't want to use computers. It's three decks the whole time and a mixer, nothing else at all. Using computers to mix CDs never feels right.” - Doc Martin

A mix CD that fits your description was released on the Mental Groove label last month, done by an arty couple called Luluxpo. It's called "Love is Power", was actually made a couple of years ago but sounds like what you're jonesing for.

I think I've stopped jonesing hard now (had a little run through listen
here, not bad ;) not quite there though) partly because I have bought easily enough f****** house to last me through December already at this point, and really should try to curb my spending for a bit.
Also I think maybe I really do just want a Sylvie Marks mix CD! (or a mix with all the good bits and none of her occasional boring stretches) Or something compiled myself, even mixed if I get ambitious!
