For downtempo you gotta go with the classics: Air, Boards of Canada, Cinematic Orchestra, DJ Shadow, Dntel, Jaffa, Jazzanova, Kid Loco, Kruder & Dorfmeister, Massive Attack, Peace Orchestra, Portishead, St. Germain, Thievery Corporation, Tosca, Tricky, Zero 7.
I haven't listened to drum & bass since the early to mid aughts, when it started going haywire...but at it's peak, DJ Dara, DJ Zinc, Boymerang, Ed Rush & Optical, Grooverider, High Contrast, Jonny L, Kosheen, Krust, Die, Roni Size, Pascal, DJ Hype, Photek, Source Direct. All great artists.
For straight up good dance tunes, there's lots of good stuff coming out all the time. If you're looking for newer stuff: Bag Raiders (they are amazing), Casiokids, Deadmau5, Hot Chip, I Monster, The Juan MacLean, LCD Soundsystem, Holy Ghost!, Crystal Castles, Grimes, Hey Champ, and Beat Connection.
Daft Punk live is the best. I saw them in 1997 at the El Rey in Los Angeles. Daft Punk, Rammstein, Sick of it All, The Ramones, and My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult...best live bands I've ever seen.

very interested to see what they would do with these songs live.
