Nervous about house party

Nervous about house party

My friend asked me to DJ tomorrow at his Halloween party. I’m pretty anxious about it though. I mainly spin house/tech house so I have put together a collection of tracks that I saw would be fitting for Halloween. I’ve asked him to give me a list of some songs that he’d like to hear so I could get an idea of what he’s expecting. I’m nervous that I’ll be unprepared with the wrong music. What if I get there and no one is digging it?

you could follow danny tenaglia’s advice…which goes something like:

first play all the classics (in terms of halloween, mj - thriller is a given). girls love stuff they can sing along to.

then start to play the big tunes once people start getting into it…

then pull out your surprises :slight_smile:

just make sure you look like your enjoying yourself as well. Try to look as least nervous as possible, it’ll reflect to the crowd:wink:

What else would you say is a good list of songs to play. Of course I got thriller. But none other pop off the top of my head.

always have a couple death metal albums ready.

I’m serious.

dead.

fucking.

serious.

Can you elaborate? :stuck_out_tongue:

Totally agree with this one..If you play your tracks and sprinkle in some classics every 3-4 songs you should be good. I really like to mash up pop/rap vocals over electro house tracks.

^X2. Toss in some Marlin Manson, Ozzy, Maybe some darn heavy goth tunes if possible.

and don’t hesitate to play a song for the ladies
