The biggest thing to remember with this gig is that you're playing for the whole room, not just the birthday boy. He won't want to hear tunes that only he likes and have a dead party.
This gig will take skill reading the room and understanding what will work when and with who.
Honestly you'd be better sidestepping it for now. No worse feeling than a bad gig.
If you do decide to go ahead I'd go in with loads of 90s (house r&b Pop etc)some indie classics from 80s to present, a selection of quality disco, some modern pop...in fact a multitude of genres.
These kind of gigs demand a huge library with an even bigger knowledge of music.

1+. I loved those tracks on the GTA radio, I actually have a GTA playlist of nearly all tracks on the radio from the old GTA games in spotify. Very smooth music!

Not everyone at the party will be 35 dude. Play around to all ages and groups. Don't just stick to an 80's party. Make sure you hit current stuff too, hes 35 not dead and out of music.

Acieeeeeed! This 46 year old would be cranking that mix loudly in my office right now but I'm concerned it would scare the 22 yr old in the next office. Originally Posted by Timbo21

Don't forget it's 2013 now; 35 year olds were the people who were out raving in the late 90s/early 2000s, so your best bet will be Trance/Techno from around that time period, not 70s/80s cheese.

You want to play stuff from their prime, not when they were 6. Actually, 35 is still pretty contemporary. Just play good music.
