Mixed crowd?

skrillex? No fucking CHANCE I'm blasting "Kill Everybody" at 80 year olds.

The funk suggestion is great though, nes. Thanks man, some of the classics look like they'll work well and I wouldn't have found em otherwise.

i did a middle school dance. electro remixes of top 40 shit. brought in some dubstep. most of the time they all just wanna sit around and talk. QUEEN!

Yeah, I've done middle and high school dances before...I'm mostly worried about the older crowd though. It's sort of a challenge to have music that appeals to everyone.

Can't go wrong with classic rock and hits of the 80's

Here's a little secret: http://tunein.com/

Go to your towns popular station and get the songs they are playing. That site contains up to the minute playlists of about a gazillion radio stations. It saved my ass on a few occasions when I had to do some crap gigs.

I did two grad parties this month... And both of them I played PLENTY of skrillex, Rusko, top 40, tiesto, etc. With these, remember it's not about the old people or little kids... It's about the grad and his/her friends... Just make sure your music is clean and you read the crowd. Odds are most people won't be dancing. And btw @aligned... We Definitely played kill everybody at one of the parties... Hahahaha

Ive done a number of sweet sixteens and a couple christmas parties with ages from 14-30 yo... definitely hit up billboard top 100, old school classic hip hop, jiggy era hip hop, 80s and also some bmore... like that mister postman remix... diplo and major lazer joints and ya brostep shit too... the kids love that... get ready to handle requests too, if u got a internet connection you are golden, if not u gotta be ready to turn people down... they will flood u!

I DJed my aunts retirement party and bumped into that site while looking for playlists. I find it freaking amazing, why didn't I think of it!?!
