    Default Reccomend some tracks/producers for a wedding

    Hey guys. My uncle wants me to dj at his wedding. Luckily he's a cool dude so no chicken dance. My usual dubstep/electro house may not go over as well. So, he said he wants a sort of illbient sound like dj spooky. However I think that might be hard to mix. So I'm looking for some house tracks with a funky/disco/breaks sound. Any reccomendations would be greatly appreciated.

    i would rather play all the nu-disco/disco stuff. the blogs are full of that kind of music.
    the kind of paris (aeroplane remix).

    Believe me, I would too. However, I think even that may be too synthesized. I'm looking for something s little more organic. More classic house style. Although I might throw something lie peep thong by his majesty Andre in there.

    Its a wedding so seamless mixes are kinda low on the list of priorities, track selection is key

    If I'm not going to mix then I might as well plug my iPod into the p.a.

    i never said not to mix, i was just saying that seamless club style mixes arnt expected - your choice of song selection is much more important.

    Think is more radio style cuts

    yo man, i dj a lot of weddings. usually there is RARELY any electro/house/dubstep/trance whatever. but then again if your uncle is requesting some unique cool shit, might as well drop some thin white duke shit (gotta love his mr. brightside remix). also yea, song selection is KEY. mixing flawlessly should come secondary but if you can roll with mixing your tracks THAN HELL YES MAN.

    go for an eclectic mix of electronic dance music, classic rock/pop/r&b and remixes of recognizable songs. I'm sure most the guests would get tired of warbly electro-fart music and syncopated beats after the first hour or so unless it's a raver kinda crowd.

    For a bit of inspiration i suggest checking out this wedding mix by a couple of my favourite local djs, Wood 'n' Soo!

    Unless the bride and groom met in a rave with all of the guests including the family also in attendance, most of the people will want to hear something they recognise most of the time. Doesn't mean you can't get freaky with the remixes, particularly with house and breaks. De'ekline and Ed Solo have some pretty funky mashups of well known tunes for example.

    I'd suggest

    Prodigy / Smack my Bitch Up
    Kelis / I hate you so much right now
    Dead Kennedys / Too Drunk to Fuck
    Tammy Wynette / d.i.v.o.r.c.e.
