If I were a DJ for a 90-minute set

I’m giving myself a massive pat on the back for putting this list together, especially considering I’m only 27 years old 😛

Respect.

Keep it coming!

Susan Booth42, you only really hit it with the Cure. They've got plenty of disco hits though... ooh...

not really. Don't Cry *dance**dance**dance*

Oh yeah, I totally forgot about them—but man, they’re perfect for just letting loose to something like 'why can't i be you'.. 🙂

Anyway, shadowgardener12, look who's back.. 🙂

Hmmmm....
As far as the tracklist goes, none of these lists show any actual skill from a DJ...
I don't see how you're supposed to lift the energy at a party with tracks that don't match up beat-wise, not to mention the constant, messy pitch jumping.....

Whatever... If I had my Technics 1200s turntables and even just a Pioneer DJM 500 mixer in front of me, I'd throw together a Mix like this.. (but then again, it all depends on what the crowd wants and what kind of vinyl my Box is holding onto right now)

Africanism Vs. Steffano - Tanzania
Faith Sounds - London Night
Pete Zouk - Shine On (Carlos Manac Mix)
Alma Matris - Rapido
I Feel Love
Angela Cortez - Drums
Celeda - Music is the Answer (White Label)
Lil' Mo'Yin Yang - Reach
Shakedown - Reach
Mark Knight and Martijn ten Velden - Our House
Roland Clarke - If I Was A DJ
Bucci Bag - More Lemonade (Lawler Re-Edit)
Mark Knight - Acid Test
Steve Lawler - Lost
Martin H - Over
Luke Chable & Danni Bonacci - Ride
Patrice Strike - Wonder (Pankaj and Edwards mix)

🙂 🙂

Look, pitch and BPM don't mean a damn thing to me or most other people. I'm not interested in the technicalities of DJing for the sake of a party. If I were listening to a Tufirov set, I’d spend the night dancing, knock back twenty beers, and probably fall in love four times... whereas with your style, I'd just fidget uncomfortably three times and switch the radio station. 😁

np Small Dark Cloud

I honestly think a tracklist like that would only impress some drugged-up 16-year-olds who don't even really care about the music in the first place.

Personally, I’d definitely be dancing to Fall, and if we're talking newer stuff, then Liars... 🙂

Frank Howard79 said:I'd definitely be out on the floor for Fall

The man! What a head! Expanded! 🙂

Regarding the tracklist—none of these lists show even a hint of actual DJ skills...
I don't see how anyone is supposed to keep the energy up at a party with tracks that don't match beats at all, not to mention the constant, jarring shifts in pitch.....

Seriously! Whenever I hear that the beats and pitch aren't lining up, I immediately head to a different bar... one where they don't even know what beats or pitch are. 🙂

To hell with the pitch. 🙄 🙂

Why isn't Azucar Morena - Bandido on the list?
The title probably doesn't ring a bell for most...
Neither does Vaya Con Dios - Neh Nah Nah.
And certainly not Carnival in Paris by whoever...

You're all looking for upbeat tracks, so there they are.
Besides, you can't judge an entire party based on just one genre... people will just leave, and that's that.
👋

Hey, hey! Just signed up, so here’s my very first post.🙂
Here’s what I’m listening to:
1) Jefferson Airplane: Somebody to Love
2) Violent Femmes: Blister in the Sun
3) Pixies: Where Is My Mind
4) The Cure: Lullaby
5) New Order: Blue Monday
6) Jimi Hendrix: All Along the Watchtower
7) Grant Lee Buffalo: The Shining Hour
8) rowdypuma21: Happy Song
9) Steppenwolf: Born to Be Wild
10) Hole: Malibu
11) Buzzcocks: Ever Fallen in Love
12) The Cars: Drive
13) Green Day: When I Come Around
14) Radiohead: Creep
15) Danzig: Mother
16) Metallica: One
17) Foo Fighters: Everlong
18) Dropkick Murphys: For Boston
19) Blondie: Heart of Glass
20) The Doors: Love Me 2 Times
21) Led Zeppelin: Whole Lotta Love
22) Pink Floyd: Another Brick in the Wall
23) Nirvana: Rape Me
24) The Beatles: Love Me Do
25) Prince: Purple Rain
....

I figured there’d be a little bit of everything in here for everyone. Hopefully, at least a few of these hit the spot for you guys.

Ciao!👋

I just couldn't get my hands on those damn Motörhead records... they wouldn't let me have them, plain and simple...

But honestly, whoever told Roger Jones5 that he was boring is dead wrong. This playlist would be absolute perfection, and I’d have a blast listening to it. If you actually read 🙂 ... well, I think a few of you already know I am definitely NOT boring

hollowseal33 said:I mean, most people call Frank boring, but honestly? This list would be absolute fire if it were mine..

Man, seriously though—where’s Rancid? Where are Black Sabbath or The Doors? 😲

Roger Jones5 said:Wait, where's Rancid? You've got Black Sabbath here, but where's The Doors? 😲

Black Sabbath isn't even necessary...
...I'm not really into The Doors. It kind of ruins the vibe for me. Even if everyone else loves them, I just don't.

But Rancid!!!!!!! We definitely need Rancid.😎

Maria Morris5 said:Black Sabbath isn't even necessary...

You have to be joking.

hollowseal33 said:you have to be joking.

No, I'm being serious. 😕 Why?

I haven't really had a chance to look through everyone else's lists yet, but I figured I’d just go ahead and share mine here:
(they aren't necessarily in any particular order)
Roni Size - Dirty Beats
Aphex Twin - Popcorn and maybe Powerpill Pacman
Underworld - Born Slippy
Skrillex / DJ Khaled / DJ Patife feat. Fernand porta - Só tinha de ser com você (Cosmonautics remix), which is honestly that one track that just gets you hooked
At the Drive-In - Napoleon Solo
Mars Volta - Son et Lumiere, probably followed immediately by Interatic ESP
At the Drive-In - One Armed Scissor
Asian Dub Foundation - Rise to the Challenge
Darkwood Dub - Elektro Pionir
Darkwood Dub - Zapremnina Tela
Darkwood Dub - Baobab
Elektricni Orgazam - Locomotion
Orgy - Blue Monday
Incubus - A Certain Shade of Green
Godsmack - Awake
Cypress Hill and Roni Size - Child of the West
Cypress Hill - Insane in the Brain
House of Pain - Jump Around
Bee Gees - Stayin' Alive
Boney M - Daddy Cool and Ma Baker
And then, I guess everyone would have already had a few drinks going, so we’d probably throw on Calypso's Limbo Song just to get the party moving🙂
Then, once I’ve probably had a drink or two myself, I’d likely put on some Dado & Time: Mexico and that song "Do You Know That She Loves You"
And after that, maybe some Bananarama... just to keep the energy up and keep things rolling🙂 and honestly, I think that would be absolutely awesome!
