Does anyone know of any compilation CD's or artists that do remixes of classical songs with modern dance (or disco) beats?

Did you mean Beethoven's 5th Symphony?
There was a spate of classical/disco crossovers in the 70's; Walter Murphy's "A Fifth of Beethoven" being the most popular. Parts of Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons" and Bach's "Toccata and Fugue in Dm" were also "discoed."
I'm not familiar with any modern versions, but I'm sure there's several out there. It would be even easier to do these days with beat-detection and audio quantization. I'm sure the 70's versions were recorded specifically for disco beats since the only way to get a beat to match precisely (back then) was doing it the old fashioned way.
Sorry I don't have anything other than that to add.
