If I were a DJ for a 90-minute set
in Music ·
Here’s the setup: You’re a DJ, you’ve got maybe an hour and a half to play (keep it tight, say max 25 tracks so the playlist doesn't drag forever), and you're at some party. This isn't a crowd of die-hard fans obsessed with one specific band; they're just regular people listening to whatever, pretty informed, but definitely not looking for anything extreme... 🙂 nothing too heavy or too bubblegum pop. Your job is to keep them entertained, not to lecture them on your "superior" taste... most people have had a few drinks, and while you might have a couple of buddies there, 95% of the room is total strangers to you...
And look, they’re paying you based on how much fun they actually have...
My list:
1. fat boy slim – don't forget ya teeth
2. ultramagnetic mc's feat kool keith – housin' things
3. outkast – dracula's wedding
4. coldplay – clocks
5. franz ferdinand – matinee
6. jet – rollover dj
7. placebo – this picture
8. rhcp – on mercury
9. white stripes – hypnotize
10. American rock classics – zimmer frei
11. the charlatans – how high
12. the prodigy – your love
13. radiohead – hunting bears
14. white stripes – fell in love with the girl
15. faith no more – easy
16. stealer wheel – stuck in tha middle with you
17. rhcp – can't stop
18. chemcal brothers – hey boy hey girl
19. hijack – doomsday of rap
20. outkast – hey ya!
21. george baker selection – little green bag
22. iggy pop – lust for life
23. white stripes – now mary
24. ricky martin – she's livin la vida loca
25. jet – are you gonna be my girl?
Now it's your turn... haha. We could try to pick out the best setlist here... if not, at least I'll read through yours, and maybe you'll get some ideas for your next gig...
