Help with "popular" electro needed
Help with "popular" electro needed Posted on: 02.11.2010 by Joie Cantillon so my wife has been shopping my talents around it seems and now I have a job coming up on saturday. Basically I'm playing a private house party for some rich kids out here. Apparently they really like Deadmau5 and things of that nature and because I play some house I must be an electro dj. (actually I can't stand the shit) but my first duty as a paid "performer" is to please the crowd so creative integrity goes out of the window. I spent about 30 dollars on beatport on various stuff today, but I got so sick of listening to clips of it all that I gave up. So I ask you all, let me know some of the big tunes, anthems, dancefloor killers, anything. Basically it seems they want to listen to the jersey shore sounding stuff. so whatever you want to recommend would help out. Thanks in advance yall. Just make sure it is all easily purchaseable (not a word I know) via beatport or whatever. | |

| Lang Abriel 04.04.2011 | Drop Zeds Dead for me....I pretty much like alot of the music ppl posted so idk Do alot of ppl on the community s listen to this music or just for doing 'electro-house' parties etc... Gigi Barocco has some good stuff as far as remixes. Crookers +1 to cassius if you already like house Some of benny benassi's new stuff gets me moving Skrillex...ugghhh, but it would probably be good to have on hand if you have a bunch of 16 yr old hipsters. |

| Roy Houn 04.04.2011 | i did an electro mix last year, there's some pretty good tracks on that ive been told lol.. take a look and a listen see what ya believe, im sure if they like the deadmau5 they will like some of them on the mix Electro Mix Ideas |
| Loria Capwell 04.04.2011 | I have this issue but in reverse.... I have to play all that top 40 crap, the stuff that is just all million different Genres, most of which dont mix with each other, you cant dance to it, and if Im honest, should never be played at a party. Im into Electro-house, Trance,House,Dubstep, Techno-house and a tiny bit of RNB, so it gets pretty boring when your playing Bruno mars at what 80 BPM?.... So my advice would be just to ask one of the kids to give you any and all of his favourite songs and then just fade them in and out, they probably wont know any better if their hiring someone who doesnt even like the Genre... PS: What music are you actually into? I memeber reading somewhere on this site that if you dont like the music try and find a remix of it in your genre Like "Like a G6 - Cap'n'Hook remix" to me is better than the orginal so I can play it at a party and please me and the crowd |

| Kristian Buneta 03.11.2010 | allz I seez is copy pasta if you aren't ready for a show. You aren't ready. “If I had eight hours to chop down a tree, I'd spend six hours sharpening my ax”. Abraham Lincoln http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MncPlqHKs8 There's ONE gem. Now I hope you learned your lesson and will study labels whom sign obnoxious tiesto & Pauly D wannabe's. Grey Ghost is SICKK. Grum. Pance Party. Louis La Roche. Busy P. Videoband. Roy Davis Jr. Thomas Bangalter. Fukkk Offf. Bloody Beetroots. Boys Noise. Borgore. Benga. Black Noise. Duck Sauce. Alan Braxe. Axel Le Baron. Zeds Dead. Mustard Pimp. Cassius. SAVOY. Moulinex. The Phantom's Revenge. |
| Ling Zambada 03.11.2010 | There are a ton of gems on this website: http://danse-pour-tous.tumblr.com Definitely check out Porter Robinson, he's got some great tracks! |
| So Francis 02.11.2010 | Disclaimer: These are just my suggestions :P so don't take them as final! So if they like Deadmau5 and the sort, definitely play the following: Deadmau5 - Strobe (Club edit) Deadmau5 - Ghosts 'N Stuff Deadmau5 - Reward is Cheese Deadmau5 & Kaskade - Move for Me Deadmau5 is really easy to mix, so anything you get by him should be good for the evening . Arman Van Buuren - In And Out of Love Benny Benassi - Satisfaction Darude - Sandstorm DJ Mangoo - Eurodancer (Tune Up?) - Raver's Fantasy Eric Prydz - Call on Me East Clubbers - Sextasy Kaskade with Tiesto - Only You Paul Van Dyk - For An Angle Sidney Samson - Riverside Zombie Nation - Kernkraft 400 If they dig some more trance elements in their electro music: Tiesto - Traffic Tiesto - Adagio for Strings Tiesto - Elements of Life The Daft Punk songs can probably work too...but I'd be careful if they really like house elements of music. |
