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.

Just stumbled across this thread that no one has posted in in a while...just wanted to let anyone know who doesnt already know about Tommy Trash (which would be extremely sad if you didnt) because he is probably the current king of that dirty electro-house sound. Just go to his soundcloud and voila!

Check out the tracklists from this DJ (art official).. I have loved almost every one of these sets when I use to listen to more electro. Just youtube the track names.. my favourite sets were..

R U Human
Funk if I know
beatchya 2 the crunch
Pump Jackson
Pop Fiktion (has a wider range of different genres)

These should keep you busy for a while..

Couple of new tunes i can believe of that would go down well -

swanky tunes - their law
benny benassi ft gary go - cinema (congorock Remix)
Asino Di Medico, Audiophox - play with me
Weekend Heroes feat. Leif Hatfield - OOF
Ron may - No jazz

And in my opinion a future classic.
Mark kevening - conscindo

Like, there aren't words enough to get across the intensity of the flames that I would burn that song and all involved in it being made and listened to.

I don't really like it either, but I played it once at a house party and everyone freaked out. Maybe it's just the crowd I end up with, but all the rich white kids around here love it

Unless it's titled a "classics" evening !!! Just my opinion!
If these kids are the 'jersey shore' demographic, they will LAP THAT SHIT UP, I swear.
