DJ Work

[hXc]

Does anybody here do DJ work? As in playing songs through computers etc for dances and parties.

Also, what songs go down really well at dance parties and things?

[SPORK]

It can't be hard.

the best party music is like, uh, opeth, and black label society. everyone parties the fuck out to them.

i mean ozzy.

fake edit: black eyed peas LOL

podcasts (via iTunes) are your friend..
I've found and downloaded a few and their anywhere between 40 to 90 minutes long of uninterrupted dance music which I'm addicted to at the moment.. and it's all fresh stuff from around the world

Best stuff I'm addicted to at the moment is 'Orion' and 'Gateway'.. just awesome. In total, you've probably got about 6 hrs of free dance music right there

BJ - I don't use iTunes...Would I be able to get this stuff off Limewire?

[SPORK]

Powerman 5000
-Free
-Bombshell
-When worlds Collide

[bugjuice]

dunno, no idea what limewire is.. if it can get podcasts, then yeah, I guess so..
Else just download iTunes (http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/), it's free n all..

[hXc]

Cheers guys! And Scoots...Thanks, I never thought of Powerman5000

There's a few more which aren't too bad, but so far since downloading, I've listened to a few track 20 something times, and I've only had them a few weeks. I'll have to find some more stuff..

[Gremlin]

Yeah, techno is common stuff, all the regularly played techno anyway.

Loveshack (pass on artist), and J Lo - Lets Get Loud

those are common, along with all the other classic disco stuff

Got DJ Otzy - Hey Baby??

[MSTRS]

Loveshack (pass on artist),


B52's - lots of good ones from that band

[WRT]

Also try the Hed Kandi series, in particular Twisted Disco and Disco Heaven CD's. They've got heaps of the more popular commercial tracks on them that everyone will know and dance to.
