Asian Dj's & Music - Bhangra

[skydj 0]

Evening Guys,

 

I started Asian Gigs about 6 months ago, my only problem is warm up, I do not have a continious mix/cd which I can use, as for @ weddings, during the meal or something, it seems that I am always working

 

Anyone know of some full cd's that are continious Asian/Bhangra sounds that I could use

 

Help appreciated

Bombay MIX - LOL! :joe:

 

I was wondering if you are really after the hottest dance anthems for a warm up - surely you need something a little more chilled?

Adding to this, I would like to know what music you would then play?

 

I have no knowledge of the Bhangra scene and would love to know 5 or 6 tracks that are floor fillers, just in case I ever have any attendees that would appreciate them.

I dont think I have ever had any asians at any of the functions that I have done. It is quite surprising really with the number of discos that I have done in and around Bolton.

 

Is there something about muslims not drinking alcohol?

I've done functions for Jehovas Witnesses before and for the Salvation Army who both don't drink and they have been good nights.....

 

I just would like to know just in case - I have had one function before where the bride was Asian, but at the time of consultation she said she didn't want any Asian music, but on the night relented and asked for some - a little too late.

 

So any recommendations would be great..

The alcohol wasn't meant to be a reason not to enjoy them selfs, there is none at children's parties which are always great.

 

It just seems unusual that I haven't seen any at weddings etc.

 

I think a selection of suitable music would be a great idea if someone can suggest it, after all we are paid to entertain everybody at the party no matter what the musical tastes. Any insight into other types of music can only be a bonus to us.

Why not try the mixmeister product.

http://www.mixmeister.com/products.html

 

If you have / can convert the tracks to mp3 or WAV, Mixmeister will enable you produce a mixed CD using customisable fading / beatmatching etc. It's what the aerobics instructors use for producing CD's

 

There are other products out there but this is simple to use and cheap. The Express Version is just £25 ($49.99).

 

We have a NYE party round someones house, so i just rig up my laptop and let people choose their own music by dragging and dropping, it crossfades automatically and keeps the music going.

 

Hope this helps.

Guys,

 

Cheers for some of the suggestions, especially the one about the software, well thank god the misses is Indian, she normally does give me some idea but unfortunately does not tend to get involved too much, although about a week ago she did give me a very long list of decent indian tracks that should rock any indian party, I will endeavour to make a post in the near future

 

Cheers again

I did a wedding gig where there was a large group of Asians. They were up and dancing from the start of the evening. I was asked if I could play any Bhangra I told them I did not have any with me. I spoke to the group and apologised for my not having any Bhangra and no real knowledge of the music.

The Groom came and spoke to me and asked if there was a problem I explained what we had spoken and that if I had known I would have researched it. He went and apologised to the group for not letting me know. They explained to him that they were having a wonderful time and it did not matter. He asked if they had any CD's with them and they produced several CD's.

 

I was given the CDs by the Groom and was told which tracks to play. The rest of they evening was spent switching between Bhangra and the usual stuff. It was a great evening and I ended up with a HUGE tip from the Asian group. My only regret is that I did not note the CD titles.

 

A list of popular Bhangra would be great if anyone could post it?
