Last year i played the 12 o’clock tune as &Down by Boys Noize, with the start of new your new york as the intro after i counted down, went down well!
for sure… i have been contemplating playing pretty lights - after midnight after the countdown…
the bar im playing at isnt really the right place for boys noize… thats also why i was thinking some funky house like ed banger type shit that anyone can groove to would be good to play..
i read some of one of the articles listed on that resault.. It had some interesting advice.. especially to play songs that people could sing along to every now and then.. allthough i think thats subjective to your crowd kinda so i duno.
also, everything i play should be really musical or funky and groovy… cant be playing much electo house or anything unless the crowd is really feeling it.
I duno should i have like rhiana and gaga and shit like that on deck… and classic rock. I have no idea what kinda crowd is guna be in there.
NYE is amateur night! If you’re at a bar you gotta have all that top 40 crap for the girls to sing along to. Personally I’m thinking of a remix of Brittney “Till the World Ends” for the countdown.

I bet that the majority of High Street DJs will still be playing Black Eyed Peas - I Got A Feeling at midnight NYE or at least after Auld Lang Syne.
Just a minute… I am doing a big Top40 gig on NYE… hmm, now i better start thinking what to play. I do know one thing, my mind will be elsewhere cus im going on holiday on the 2nd… cant wait !!!
Just play this
That is an absolutely awesome set of tracks there mate!
PS: that was a blatant bump to get the new year topic rolling again
In our experience we have always had great feedback by playing the following:
Daft Punk - Da Funk
Freestylers - Don’t Stop
Leftfield - Phat Planet
Slyde - Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
Fat Boy Slim - First Down
The crowed went crazy!
