Pool Party Music
Pool Party Music Posted on: 20.07.2012 by Lessie Becoats A friend of mine asked me to DJ her pool party, she wants the typical top 40 and hip hop, but she also wants reggae which I have none of. Anybody know any good reggae for a pool party? If you have other song suggestions that aren't reggae feel free to post them | |

We have a sad state of Djing over here. |

You want to transistion to Call me maybe. So you pick up the mic at the end of the second chorus filter down glad you came and shout out " hey you sexy here is my number call me now don't say no just say maybe" drop cued Call me maybe at here is my number call me maybe.

Brunilda Kora 23.07.2012 | I wouldn't try this with anything BUT reggae - seriously. (TBH - I'd find it hard to pull off even with reggae!) There is a ridiculously fine line between authentic, and down right rubbish! |

Kamala Temple 22.07.2012 | Might have just the mix for you - http://www.xlr8r.com/podcast/2011/02/uproot-andy - Give it a listen and get some of those songs. When I first heard this played I described it to a friend as "perfect BBQ music." |
Dominque Strosser 23.07.2012 | one of my favorite reggae dj's right here Dj Gmani this a perfect example of how to mix reggae note the use of fxs and cutting to make the transitions http://soundcloud.com/djgmani/summertime-dancehall-2012 Get some of the tracks in the mix and you will be good this is nice for a good poolside vibe |

Dominque Strosser 20.07.2012 | Well I can help there being from the Bahamas. mixing reggae is easy if you can do the following well use cue points , cutting and droping, and use the following sound fx fog horns, gun shots and lasers. Most reggae comes in riddims which means you can have one popular riddim with three or popular songs on the same riddim. To mix them all you have to do is set a cue point at the beginning of the first verse let the song playing reach the end of its second chorus and then cut or drop to the first verse of the new song on the same riddim. To change the riddim mix the beginning of a new riddim into the end of the second chorus when the verse starts fire off a fog horn then gun shot followed by a laser cut to that riddim and shout puuuuulllllll up and then start the track over rinse and repeat. (lol I can't believe I just said that but yes thats how most reggae dj's mix check out reggae riddim mixes on youtube for more assistance). To get you started search for these riddims on youtube. Buy out Riddim - Stand out tracks are Sean Paul give my the Light The TOK song - I believe it name is just got paid Notch - Nuttin ah go so Showtime Riddim - Stand out track are Red fox- Bashment Party General Degree- hypocrite Joy Ride Riddim Lady saw - under the sycamore tree Tanya Stephens- Yuh nah ready for this Individual tracks to get Shabba Ranks - Bed room Bully Shabba Ranks- Trailer load of girls Beenie Man - Wickedest Slam Tanya Stephens - Handle the Ride Tanya Stephens- Gogle Mad Cobra- Flex |

Reggae - it's a bit of a vague description, mate. Reggae has been around for a while, and is HUGE. Ragga, Lovers Rock, Dancehall, Ska, Roots, Rocksteady, Dub - it's all reggae. Get to googling, find some artists from the last 10 years (I'd go back AT LEAST 20, actually) and get to searching. Some starting points (and crowd pleasers), are: Shabba Ranks Buju Banton Damian Marley Chaka Demus & Mr. Pliers Maxi Priest Beenie Man Bounty Killer Cocoa Tea Ninja Man Wayne Mashall Wayne Smith Wayne Wonder Shaggy (has some AWESOME stuff if you dig hard enough) Yellow Man But, if you wanna get REALLY reggae on that ass - check out these legends: Bob Marley (Duh...) Dave & Ansel Collins Anthea and Donna Capelton Desmond Decker Toots and the Maytals (ya better ask somebody!) Jah Screechy (go and find Walk and Skank, immediately!) Jimmy Cliff <The man. Prince Buster <Legend Peter Tosh The Wailers Bunny Livingstone Lee Scratch Perry Sly and Robbie You could even get bit diverse (and maybe a little controversial) and include some UB40 (and why not?). Maybe get some UK Ska in there too (Madness, The Specials, The Selecter, The Beat, Bodysnatchers, Bad Manners...) |
