Dance music people! Help me DJ music I know next to nothing about!

[clandestino]

I have foolishly and drunkenly agreed to do an online set of kind of dancey music. I'd put together an hour set for fun that was electronica, some house, and some kraut rock, and then stupidly declared it would be perfect for a birthday rave up. Looking at it now I can see it's perfect for sitting down and having a good old think haha!

I'm sticking with my set, but I want to spice it up with some more upbeat tracks. But what? Urban ravers recommend some tunes for me!

I have The Whistle Song in there, and that's kind of the tone. Dancey but not too shirts-off.

I also have this one in the set:



What else should I play? Video links would be ace.

That was the theme tune to a TV show wasn't it? I can't think which one...

Cool. I listened to a snapshot of that track you posted and it jumped out at me. Reckon you could follow that down a youtube rabbit hole and find similar.

Always good to have an example of what I'm not after haha!

It's actually quite an indie sounding track in a way - feels like it could have been played at Blow Up - so probably perfect for my crowd having a night off rave up!

 

[spitfire]

Indie rave you say?

And a classic to finish up with. I figured your crowd would like vocally stuff with a bit of a groove. Let me know and can dig out more if you like. Is dinner time now.

I'm sure it is, I didn't go to any clubs that played this kind of stuff when it was current...

No fucking about. Hit them with this:

I don't approve of any Caribou post Andorra

* po-faced indie purist *

* actually true god help me *

 

[clandestino]

Or

These are too indie. We're meant to be on holiday!

 

[clandestino]

First song of the set.

Enjoy Rotterdam!

I personally don't really like dance tracks with vocals, so I think most stuff I've gone for is instrumental but I'll check it out.

Thanks for these everyone - will go through them all!

I love this one currently
