Which Will Be Your First Track Of 2012???

Hey guys, so for those of you who have gigs on NYE, like the title says, which will be your first track of 2012 that you will play after the countdown?

I’ve got a pretty big gig lined up for NYE, I’m DJ’ing for the NYE crew party on the cruise ship that I work on, ± 500 crew! :slight_smile:

Now as much as I love playing House and Tech etc, for this NYE party it will be mostly commercial pop/dance and maybe I’ll squeeze in some House. So I’ve been thinking what track I’ll be choosing to play as my first track of 2012.

So what will be yours? Have you decided yet? Also, have some of you guys come up with or downloaded some cool NYE countdown voice over etc? I’ve been looking for one but no luck so far… :open_mouth:

If i was playing then the first track would be Scotty - Braveheart, purely because the gig i was offered was in scotland.

3

Ooooooo tough choice.

Depends what kinda gig I was playing. At the minute though, probably something by Channel X or Nicole Moudaber.

don’t know bout that yet, still looking for the perfect track, but the last one of 2011 will be “one more time - daft punk” love that track but might mix in the screwface remix if I can sway the crowd towards big breaks, although after that I might take it towards epic closing tracks… It really depends on the energy levels of the crowd at the time as usually everyone has had enough by 1:00 - 2:00am cause they have been drinking all day.

Yeah I’m not decided yet for my first track. If i could it would def be something on the house/tech side, but this NYE gig is going to be mostly Top 40, so I need to play something in the Top 40, thats popular and on the charts at the moment… :sunglasses:

Maybe LMFAO, Maroon5, etc… meh…

If I was playing, it’d definitely be Empire of the Sun - “We are the People”, possibly the bootleg w/ Eric Prydz - “Mirage”.

Hmm after Auld Lang Syne It would depend if we go right into Karaoke like I think we did last year or if the peeps decide to dance some more. If they decide to dance more then something that starts out big to get then right back into the mood. Not sure what that’s going to be and have only two more days to figure it out. I’ll be Djing with another friend at his house party so we’ll have to see.

Whatever I haven’t played yet. I play in an open format club where we take request, so for me to plan something is pointless. :smiley:

Thing i would play an electro house track with a OMGWTFLULZ drop, and I would tweak it so the build up lasts like 2 minutes (16*16 bars). Something really big to create a non-sustainable tension, and then 2012 and the drop comes as a relief.

Few ideas that just poped up in my head :

Btw the uploader sucked on the 2nd video, the real title is : Spencer&Hill ft Lil Jon - Less Go (Porter Robinson remix)

I would do it like this . .

11

I have had some INSANE responses to less go. I still think that it’s been the track that has got the most intensity out of any crowd I’ve played for this year

12

i dont go on till 1am and 25 cocktails so haven’t really decided yet ;p

maybe this

13

Jack Beats- Up All Night.

14

Yeah that 1min long build up brings SOOO MUCH tension, and the drop damn heavy and wild.

I tend to forget it when I play, but for sure i’ll remember it for the next time.

Watched the classic Bond-movie “You only live twice” recently on TV and thought the title song by Nancy Sinatra would be quite fitting to play at midnight on NYE (even though the rest of my set is gonna be techy house stuff as usual). So I’m probably gonna do that, have to do some sample searching tomorrow though. Wanna edit in a countdown and some fireworks sounds before the track. Also have a few ideas what to play exactly before and after, but that was not the question of this thread :smiley:

I just found something awesome in terms of countdown. Check those recordings of the NASA Apollo missions. http://history.nasa.gov/40thann/videos.htm

17

dunno about the first song in 2012 but the last track in 2011 should be:

:smiley:

18

Thanks to those Nasa files this is done now :sunglasses:

(Now let’s hope I get the timing right, gotta start my file exactly 50 seconds to midnight. I should make sure my Casio watch is on time, I guess)

Never gonna give up - Rick Roll status

hahaha yes.
