Help with a playlist for a gig Posted on: 05.12.2012 by Lory Westby Hi guys,I usually DJ raves and parties, playing minimal techno/techno/tech-house and a bit of deep house. I have been booked for a more "posh" gig, where I was told to my sound for a more older generation. (NOT grandmas and grandpas). I am seeking help for the following: could you please recommend tracks of songs that they might know, or anything that's a remix of something commercial... with a techy or deep-housy feel. Mostly I want the crowd to be able to jump around and not be like "what is this, a basement club rave?" but still retain my style not going into just playing what's on the radio or what was on the radio. I need a 3+ hour set, and have already started getting tracks, but where I usually buy my music I get the latest stuff (underground stuff). Many thanks. | |

| Valery Ellick 06.12.2012 | I'm in a similar situation. I'm more of a house/techno DJ, but I'm playing a private NYE party. The theme is 'Yacht Rock'. I'm planning on playing mostly AOR/yacht rock re-edits (Hall & Oats, Steely Dan, Billy Ocean, etc). Surprisingly enough, I've found some pretty funky shit! Initially I had NO idea what I was going to play, but the more I'm finding, the more excited I'm getting about trying this stuff out. I've had pretty good luck tediously scouring SoundCloud. The stuff I'm finding will go well with some funky/disco house. I believe I'll be putting the Remix Decks to good use with acapellas and samples from the originals. That being said, my advice is to try you luck with SoundCloud if you're looking for remixes. Good luck! |
