Doing a fashion show (lingerie) looking for a few more indie tracks
OK I’ve not enlisted the hive mind of DJTT for track selection but i’d like to get a few pointers on some indie dance tracks that are pretty straight forward. Looked through Gomma Dance label and a few others and am looking for more in the vein of Munk, Who Made Who…I’ve a few disco’y tracks that have some good vocal elements and are just groovy but need more down to earth tracks for good balance.
So far I like Munk’s Bored Heart and Violent Love and may even throw in Love and Rockets “Alive”. Some of the more spacey stuff I may include come from the likes of Toomy Disco’s “Washing Machine” remix and stuff from DashGo label like Samba Soul and Gifted.
I’m looking at filling in up to 30 minutes of runway time with girls showing off a friend’s refashioned lingerie. It’s not high culture sexy but more whimsical sexy if that makes sense. I don’t care too much about pleasing a mixed audience than not getting tracks that are overpowering–focus on the girls you know
really appreciate any help and pointers you guys and girls can throw my way.
Not sure if these are your type of stuff, but here are a few of my favourite kind of disco’y / indie dance tracks
Tensnake - You Know It I Know It (Original Mix)
Remute - Welcome to Your Doom (Punks Jump Up remix)
Spank Rock - Energy (Glimmers Remix)
Baxter - PLACID MIND Original Mix
bit faster and less disco’y, buttt
Might - NINTH HOUR GIRLS Aniki Remix
I’ll be able to give you more in the morning when I can check my full library on my laptop.
Can’t go wrong with tensnake - love it!
That Might track is gonna work fantastically lot’s of ways out of that one and some good shit going on.
simian mobile is a download for me too. really digging that one
Really appreciate it guys! Just made my day with some fresh perspective.
Kraak & Smaak are always a good choice
try their Thinking back (i remember seeing a excellent video of a lingerie show with it as a soundtrack, fits like a slap to a fool) and my current favorite: Kraak And Smaak Feat Lex Empress - Hold Back Love (Lovebirds Remix)
K&S stuff i got I always keep an eye out for their work. And Lovebirds always put a nice touch on things …probably go that route warming up before the show which is really going to be a mish mash of things for the background. Looking for something a little more driving for the actual runway portion I want to be carefull not to be pretentious for this crowd. This is more a street smart show with bright lights than lace-stitched silk and blue atmosphere. But good tunes you put up nonetheless.
I hate doing pre-planned sets like this…really stresses me out when my collection for a particular style is weak or lacks cohesion. Plus I always change my mind what to do, damn that bugs me. The three hour set afterwards is what I excited for.
Checked out a FIFA soundtrack (2012?) and nothing really stood out for me. I’ll check out a few others later on tonight.
+1, even going as far back as 06, the FIFA soundtracks are really solid; they also range from rock, disco, indie/alternative, electronica/indie dance etc.
also maybe check indie dance/nu disco beatport? kinda mainstream but good nonetheless.
Hey I’m the resident of my schools fashion studio. Talk to the designers and see what their message is with their fashion and try to find music that matches it.
I appreciate all the input from everyone. Think I’m good to go on the music front.
I dont believe there is a particular message from the designer. She actually refashions vintage 60-80s clothing for everyday wear and isn’t designing a statement for the sake of art. Most of the music I chose reflects those eras and is a bit of a refashion of older sounds with a modern spin, if you will. I’m excited to actually be a part of her show considering I’m traveling half way around the globe to do my thing. I’m sure there will be videos released sometime next week…
Edit:
Lol, at the family guy bit. I actually keep a segment of yakity sax if/when a fight breaks out at a gig. Never had to use it thankfully.
