Mighty 0 Posted May 19, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2003 Might i suggest you listen to 2 strange songs (but not necessarily play em at a gig) (The Real) Tuesday Weld - Bathtime in Clerkenwell Simian - La Breeze Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Smith 0 Posted May 19, 2003 Report Share Posted May 19, 2003 The one track I wouldn't be without is a megamix by the Hermes House Band. It lasts 13 minutes and covers some old classics (I will survive, Fame, I feel good etc) but with a better beat. It's handy if you need a break (either mental or physical) and normally fills the floor. There have been times however when I have cut it short because the punters can't stand the pace for the full 13 mins http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html/emoticons/wacko.gif Paul S Link to post Share on other sites
Dukesy 0 Posted May 19, 2003 Report Share Posted May 19, 2003 Don't know too much about other area's mobile sets, but yes - the 'Old Skool' theme is quite popular in the Essex, Kent and surrounding area's. Looking at the age of your guests - say a gig has a lot of 30+, then the 90's are going to be very popular! Watch the crowd jump to Jump Around, The ladies up for The Love I Lost (93remix) Robin S and Candi Staton!!! But I just can't relate to people thinking Abba is @Old Skool'!?!

Eskie 0 Posted June 2, 2003 Report Share Posted June 2, 2003 This very much depends on the crowd I'm playing to, as my gigs vary tremendously; sometimes I do reggae dances, where the vibes are strickly dancehall, lovers rock and revival (studio 1 and other old classic reggae labels). Sometimes I do soul gigs where it's mostly soul, funk, rare groove R&B etc and then there's the wedding crowds! Reggae dance must plays: Alton Ellis - Too late to turn back now Janet Kay - Silly games Louisa Mark - Caught you in a lie Junior Murvin - Police & thieves Fred Locks - True rastaman Mr Vegas - Heads high Lord Kitchener - Sugar boom (calypso tune) plus about 7 or 8 Dennis Brown tracks such as Sitting & Watching, Cassandra, Revolution, If this world were mine Soul gig: Gwen McCrae - All this love that I'm givin' Rufus & Chaka Khan - Ain't nobody Mary Jane Girls - All night long Faith Evans - Love like this LJ Reynolds - Key to the world Luther V - Never too much Weddings: Stealers Wheel - Stuck in the middle Four seasons - December 63 Abba - Dancing queen Elvis P - Suspicious minds Dean Martin - That's amore Candi Staton - Young hearts Yet there is one song that will work on all three of these crowds: Nina Simone - My baby just cares for me!
