DJ'ing my friends party Posted on: 27.04.2013 by Asuncion Yeakel I am DJ'ing a buddy of mines party and he wants me to play some different type of music such as hip hop, oldies, slow music, party music. I have no idea for any type of slow music and or oldies. It is may 4th so i have some bit of time to prepare. Any ideas would be awesome. Thanks all!
Asuncion Yeakel 02.05.2013	Originally Posted by djmetalgear its not hard at all. what controller/mixer do you have. all you need is an 1/8th inch audio to RCA from your ipad or ipod. plug the RCA into line in for your mixer. I have djm 2000 and mac. I will try it now. Thank you very much will come back if i run into any problems.

Tip: If you want to play hip-hop rap stick to the classics everyone knows, chances are if you play artists like Kendrick Lamar, ASAP Rocky and Juicy J you will kill any dancefloor you had and will remain with 5 white guys who believe theyre requests are what everyone wants to hear and dance to. Know from past experience :P just stick to what everyone knows when it comes to old and rap music. This is all very relative. Maybe you're just biased... or maybe you're just DJing partys with a bunch of old people, cause ASAP, and Juicy J, and Kendrick Lamar are played in all the major clubs.
Markus Mcnece 03.05.2013	There so much in the internet just input the right keyword and there you go! Or you may try to visit DJ music pools like zipDJ the one I'm using and I'm telling you they have everything you need.
Asuncion Yeakel 02.05.2013	Wow was extremely simple. So noob of me haha! Thanks again man

Some Rap is good, but i find kendrick, rocky or juicy j kinda mellows the energy a bit.

Augustine Mitzen 29.04.2013	just bring a laptop and play a youtube playlist
Asuncion Yeakel 29.04.2013	Is there a way to hook up spotify with my cdjs 2000 NXS ? or djm 2000? I know im going to get requests and i will be generous enough to play the music for them. Or is it not possible?
Federico Vilas 27.04.2013	There was some great music in the 90s though... that was 20 years ago... so almost in classic status
Yong Aptekar 27.04.2013	You don't care because you were born in the 90s or 2000. I care because I grew up in the 90s and it's not oldies hahaha but yes, I believe OP gets the picture.
Meaghan Machold 27.04.2013	Originally Posted by dripstep Children, oldies are not classic 90s songs. Oldies are from the 50s-70s. From what I unfortunately have come to realize, 90s count as retro. I will not accept what i grew up listening to as oldies just yet replace 90s with 50s and delete your post. who cares. he got the point.
Federico Vilas 27.04.2013	Lmao....classic 90s as oldies hahahahahahahahahaha!

Ethel Feigum 27.04.2013	You can always ask for a list of favorites and must plays from whoever's throwing the party. even a short list can point you in the right direction.
Asuncion Yeakel 28.04.2013	Originally Posted by djmetalgear step 1. download spotify step 2. search "classic 90s songs" step 3. ............................. step 4. PROFIT! You know I have spotify and never even thought about that. Thanks a mill
Jetta Drenzek 26.04.2013	House parties are an odd beast. Generally groups of friends like the same music, so just find out what everyone likes before hand if you want an advantage. The best house parties are the ones where nothing is planned, so this whole "slow music and oldies" thing may be your friends idea of a hilarious slow dance game, but when you get a house full of people tanked up, there's no way you'll get them to do something like that. In my experience, anyways. But maybe British house parties are different to American?
