i would suggest a remix of something western with an eastern flair!.

i'm a big fan of the influx remix of "elevation" by U2 on the "7" single album from 2002!. it has some nice heavy tabla drums and sitar worked in!. here's the youtube embed code!.

i danced to this for a friend's birthday a few years ago and he loved it!

shakira has other songs she's remixed besides "Ojos Asi" which have more of her turkish sound to them!.
also, look for the "Bellydance Superstars" cd's!. they have loads of heavy beat songs for contemporary belly dance!. other artists to try would be Hossam Ramzy, Hakim, Oojami(transe club sound, Niyaz, Azam Ali, Axiom of Choice, Natasha Atlas, Dead Can Dance, Apache Indian(hindi regae/hip-hop), any of the "Rough Guide to!.!.!." or Putumayo middle eastern compilation cd's!.

have fun and good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I am actually a professional belly dancer and the tunes that I usually put on are Shakira, Miami Soundmachine, or Indie Rock!. Those would be perfect for belly dancing!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It's not that modern, but "Comme Toi" by Alabina is a classic French song set to a belly dancing beat!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Puretone's 'Addicted To Bass'

I belly dance to it when I'm just messing around and practicing new moves at home, and it works pretty well!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Disturbia by Rihanna!? Probably songs not too loud and with a not too fast or too slow rhythm!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Metal!? Cannibal Corpse!?Www@QuestionHome@Com
