So I'm liking ATB so far, but I'm craving more. What good DJ's and mixes are out there that have fast techno with female lyricists? A good example of what I'm looking for is the song in this video:

as well as ATB's Ecstasy.

    ATB's a good start, I'm quite a fan myself.

    Armin Van Buuren, Chemical Brothers (Beth Orton does lyrics in a couple of their songs), Paul Oakenfold, and BT.

    My favorite BT track is "Remember" and that should be right up your alley for what you're looking for. Alot of the above artists' songs don't have female vocalists, but alot of their hits include female vocalists.

    If you enjoy ATB you'll probably like music by Ferry Corsten (System F) and Armin Van Buuren.

    Some of Ferry Corsten's song's that have a female vocalists include
    Cry
    Spread Your Wings
    Ligaya (Collaboration with Tiesto as Gouryella)
    Beautiful
    The Midnight Sun

    Armin Van Buuren was rated the #1 Dj by DJmag.com which ranks dance DJs. Some of his classic songs/remixes with female vocalists include:
    Iio-Rapture (Armin Van Buuren Remix)
    Sound of Goodbye

    A lot of the songs above are older vocal trance tracks. You can listen to more classics and some of the more recent vocal trance hits by going to Digitally Imported and streaming their Vocal Trance station.

    Oh and finally, if you are looking for a song similar to the one you linked who can forget the ultra cheesy and super catchy Less Than 3 which is actually released by the same record company Disko Warp Records. Their genre isn't actually Techno and is much closer to NRG/EuroDance. You can also find more NRG/Eurodance songs at Digitally Imported.

    Here's some samples, I'd highly recommend checking out the "Related Videos" on any of these Youtube pages for stuff that'll fall into the same category.

    Motorcycle - As the Rush Comes - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQvhw_E70Uw (speed trance remix)
    Deepest Blue - Give it Away - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFpu_qvnDbE
    Andain - Beautiful Things - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5igNue4PLDI (couple good, and harder remixes of this by Photon Project, Gabriel & Dresden and DJ Tiesto.)
    Tiesto - Just Be - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvKbGQRrWCM
    DT8 Project - Winter - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KM2mxpBSXA (almost all their stuff is female vocals)
    Agnelli & Nelson - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqEkUpjwRJw
    Paul Van Dyk - The Other Side - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_UI3lVdjdU (check out "Guide Me God" for some female vocals) Lotta good stuff there though.

    Oooh, and I just watched the video in your original post. And even though I may get yelled at for recommending this, you may want to look into some happy hardcore or hardbass, also there's going to be a TON of DDR music that falls into that category. Some happy hardcore and hardbass samples:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZiyraMezb4Q

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjaXMv_qmVo

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7wBqZU2EIs

    And finally some Scooter...Has some female vocals in there...

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33Bb7zjQhw8

    Again I can't recommend enough about checking the related videos links for this stuff. If you're into this pretty much anything in the "Hardbass Chapter* series is good, a couple of notable artists are Dougal and Gammer and Styles and Breeze Hopefully this gave you a better idea of what's out there.

    The Sound of Goodbye by Perpetuous Dreamer
    Ghost by Tenth Planet

    Love the Giver (Eskil Simonsson remix) by Claire Voyant
    It's Been Fun by Ayria

    Actually, I dig most anything by Ayria, but a lot of her stuff probably isn't exactly what you're looking for.

    BT is a friggin genius. "Remember" was mentioned but one of my favorites is "Running down the way up."

    I haven't clicked on those youtube links, but if you're into Happy Hardcore, Dune is a must.

    I particularly like Hardcore Vibes, Dark side of the moon and who wants to live forever.

    There is nothing to be ashamed about for liking Happy Hardcore music. Yeah, they might be a staple in DDR games, but the tunes are extremely fun and easy to listen to. On top of that, a ton of HHC songs include a lot of female vocalists.

    Some popular female vocalists that sometimes appear on Happy Hardcore tracks include Karen Danzig, Lisa Abbott, Lisa Marie, Jenna Barr, and Cascada

    Popular HHC DJs/Remixers are Scott Brown, Darren Styles, Mark Breeze, DJ Hixxy, DJ Brisk, Dj Ham, DJ Sy, DJ Gammer

    Hopefully this will help you find some more music you like. Oh yeah, they also have a "Hardcore" channel on Digitally Imported and you can also access that station through www.happyhardcore.com

    BT works with Jan Johnston a lot, as well as Kristy Swanson, and they're both awesome vocalists.
    (I love the 12" ESCM mix of Remember on the R&R disc.)
    I think they've also worked with other DJs, but I'm not too caught up with that.

    You could look up some Chris Child/Kodomo; if Shades of Blue is any indication, I bet he's got lots of stuff along those lines.

    This is a great mix I found recently that has some great fast-paced songs with female vocals.
