Every once in a while, the crowd will get a bit dead/boring and you need a jump start.. List some of your guaranteed fav/go-to tunes that you know will get a response from the crowd.
I DJ in a top 40s club so forgive me for listing some pop songs… But it is what it is…
Bruno mars- locked out of heaven
Daft punk- one more time
Montel Jordan- this is how we do it
I have plenty more… Just seein what you guys will list.
if its like a house party, the jump around - house of pain, gets em every time. if im playing the club them maybe like save the world SHM. something everybody knows
Shufunk - Outrageous (Original Mix)
Twisted Individual - Bandwagon Blues
Rebel MC - Champion DJ (original Vinyl Version)
Sigma - The Jungle (Sub Zero Remix)
Shania Twain - Man, I Feel Like A Woman - dancefloor gold right there, especially that lovely little guitar lick… guaranteed to get drunk ladies of a certain age on a work’s Xmas party up and throwing shapes like you’ve never seen…
(p.s. I can’t stand it, it just reminds of awful, awful work’s parties…)
Go to songs… mmm, depends, there are a lot I reckon… but off the top of my head, Stardust - Music Sounds Better, Together - So Much Love To Give and Ministers De La Funk - Believe, also any early 90’s big vocal house track normally works a treat.
Lately it’s been Green Velvet & Harvard Bass - Lazer Beams or Hot Chip - Flutes (A JD Twitch & Optimo Remix) in my house/techno sets..
But in terms of more classic tunes I still find Tiga - Pleasure from the Bass or Claude Von Stroke - Who’s afraid of Detroit always gets me outta trouble
