hawaiian party, music selection help!
I Was asked to play at an hawaiian party next month, and, i really don’t know what to play!! I usually play electro house, tribal, and some dubstep.
Should i say no?
I think i can play my kind of music only at the end of the party
This is my usual MO (well, lounge, Hawaiian and some other kitsch-y stuff)
A few artists you might want to look into. Not all are tiki-music, but they fit the relaxed-groove thing very well.
Ursula 1000 (his early stuff, pre-2005)
Thievery Corporation
Skeewiff
Lemon
Tipsy
some of Shawn Lee’s Ping-Pong Orchestra’s complations might fit the bill as well
That’s all I can really think of at the moment, although there are a few Rhino’s Ultra-Lounge CD collections (I think one’s called Cocktail Capers, another is Mondo Exotica) that have some older 50’s stuff that works great in a Hawaiian theme.
Thank you sooooooo much!!!
Tribal sounds good
so when are we gonna get a link to a new mix? if i knew where you lived i’d steal your music collection!!
hmm i recorded a hawaiian theme mixtape in 2007…
quite a few artists were putting out stuff that year that had a very heavy hawaiian influence … you know the sound, loungey slide guitars and ukuleles… surfer rock stuff…
couple ones that come to mind
I’ll see if I can throw something together this weekend, I haven’t done a good lounge mix in a little while anyway.
