'Clubby' music

[Leonna 0]

I am after some inspiration for some other 'clubby' type tracks that will go down well with a mixed group of people. At present I normally play Insomnia, Sanstorm and the Logical song which all go down a storm no matter what the crowd. The trouble is I love this sort of stuff but I am not sure what is liked by the 'general public' and have wimped out of trying much else apart from The Launch.

 

Any suggestions welcomed. http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif

I usually play Sandstorm and Insomnia along with some of the older club tracks like Set Me Free - N Trance, Let be be your fantasy, For an Angel -Paul Van Dyk and possibly some Prodigy as well. Sometimes play things like Alice Deejay, Armand Van Helden and ATB with them as well.

 

I have never played Logical song at a gig but always wondered whether it would work with this type of stuff or not. I always thought it might be a bit too cheesy for the type of crowd that like the clubby stuff.

 

Out of interest has anyone tried out the latest mix of My My My by Armand Van Helden (funktuary mix) yet, does it go down well or not.

No imagnation you lot....

 

yes the new version of my my my is working well with the right crowd...

 

them club land albums contain 98% of total rubbish and seem to be popular in the far north and wales...

 

god know why http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/huh.gif

 

for your typical down south crowd try mylo, beat freaks and other tunes that have crossed over..

should keep most people happy..

I think you hit it on the nail Leonna - the general public.

Like us, they will all have different personal tastes in 'club music'.

 

You can not go too far wrong in playing the 'anthem tracks' already suggested, variety is great.

 

Gauge the age and have fun with all sorts of old skool anthems as well as the modern stuff.

 

100 other track/artiste suggestions to note (in no particular playing order)

Yes, it works well for most functions - I even played it at a 40th last week, dancefloor remained full.

 

Good advice from everyone else http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/grouphug.gif http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/thumbup.gif

Robert Miles - Children

 

So you won't play Gary Glitter, but you will play Robert Miles ?

[Danno13 0]

I didn't know there was any controversy surrounding Robert Miles???? As it happens i only ever play children when i play the "children of the sandstorm" mashup.

 

Also, although i wouldn't play gary glitter i don't think i've mentioned that ever before on the forum.. so not sure where you got that from!

 

Oh and marky, i would have suggested plenty of good modern funky/commercial house tracks.. but i didn't think thats what Leonna was asking about going by the tracks she mentioned in the original post...

Where I play on Saturday nights, it tends to be the cheesier the better. If I put on something slightly unusual it can have dire effects sometimes. http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/014.gif Sometimes though with the right crowd you can put on anything which is great. I will try to move out of the comfort box and try something else with them.

 

Here is some of my wish list that I would like to play:-

 

Back in the UK - Scooter

Dreamer - CK & Supreme Dream Team

Kernkraft 400 - Zombie Nation

Loneliness - Tomcraft (might try this one this weekend)

Meet Her at the Love parade - Da Hool

Rock Your Body rock - Ferry corsten

Satisfaction - Benny Benassi

 

 

It is interesting to see that some people class My My My and the beatfreaks as 'club' music to me it is just dance/pop (I guess funky house).

Groove Coverage - I think

Superstar--Love INC.

 

Top tune and all seem to like it.

[Digital discos 0]

Leonna there is no really such genre as club, well there sort of is....Technically its just music played in clubs, but lately implies anything slightly more harder and dancy than cheesy pop records.

 

Opinions vary widely on genre....personally I would call some of the stuff mentioned Old Skool Dance, there are a few piano classics mentioned and some funky house tunes...

 

I wouldn't worry about genres but stuff i would try going with things mentioned..

 

Groove Amarda - Superstylin

Pianoman - Blurred (great tune!)

Flip n Fill - I wanna dance with somebody

Special D - Come with Me

 

then some slighty different ones like

 

Loleata Halloway - Love Sensation

Starchaser - Love will set you free

Bob Sinclair - World hold on

This will vary an awful lot according to your audience.

 

I think that although people are trying to be helpful, none of those tracks would work at all at my crowds, more's the pity...

 

In some locations it is a Clubland scene..on the fringes of the city here they go down really well, but I can't stand them. I don't really do those kind of gigs, but through friends of friends you end up having to and you can't punish the audience for their taste.

 

More often what people want is Tiesto type stuff. Around here at least the taste is very much shaped by the local commerical dance station, which is a secondary radio licence catering for a specific market. If there is not one in your area, you may see if there is a "pirate" radio station.

 

The travel agents in a particular area of this part of Europe tend to promote key locations in Spain, Ibiza, Crete, whatever and what the DJ played on the summer holiday is another huge influence among people who want to be trendy.

 

I think you could look for key influences like that.

 

I can almost guarantee you that what works CP's audience in to a storm will almost certainly not work for you, or CS, or the tunes that work for me. Unless they are in the charts.

 

Talk to punters, be really enthusiastic when they ask you for something you don't know..."wow, where did you hear that?.." etc etc
