I occasionally throw parties, and I wanted to create a club/dance scene. I only listen to Rock/Metal, and am clueless when it comes to dance music.
Here is what I have so far
Tech N9ne
Infected Mushroom
Kottonmouth Kings (a few tracks)
The Chemical Brothers
Kanye West
Sir Mixalot
Eminem
Any suggestions to set the mood would be appreciated. My only idea is to have a fairly dark-lit room with strobe lights.
Man I envy you
I wish I had a big house to do stuff like that
You’re gonna have to narrow it down a bit. Are you looking for more mainstream stuff? What kind of dance music? House, trance, techno, drum & bass, or a more hip-hop, R&B feeling?
A huge hit in 2008 here in Italy is :
“don’t stress” ( house music )by Laurent Wolf
All discos and clubs I’ve been since this summer were playing this song.
old skool:
orbital - belfast
inter city - big fun
a guy called gerald - voodoo ray
Mr. fingers - can you feel it
Roy davis Jr - gabriel (live garage mix)
Joe smooth - promised land
the orbe - fluffy little clouds
frankie knuckles - your love
other stuff i like:
Nuyorican soul - i am the black gold of the sun
Kid Cudi - day n nite (crookers remix)
Roy ayers - everybody loves the sunshine
octave one - black water
double 99 - rip groove
brain bug - nightmare
mighty dub katz - just another groove
armand van helden - professional widow
pete heller - big love
Get some Clubland albums.

daddy yankee- gasolina
naughty by nature- here we go now
lil wanye - lollipop

DMX- get it on the floor
Rick Ross- everyday im hustling
oh yeah, and you can put on M.I.A. - paper planes cause everyone thinks theyre the coolest kid in school when you play it.
strobe lights are no good bro.
i suggest using a few different lighting setups they have this ball that shoots like red, yellow, blue and green light, get one or two of those, a couple blacklights and thats all you need.
even when clubs use strobelights they have them on for only a set amount of time because they start to bother people. having regular lights wont blind people but they are a good contribution to the atmosphere.
wtf are you the new member of jabbawokies

A mainstream mix of R&B, and Techno I guess. Stuff people will know, and want to dance to. With Techno it doesn’t seem like they need to know it as long as it has a good beat.

Good point, I’ll look into that.
The new Ultra Dance 10 CD came out yesterday, and it’s pretty good, it has some dance remixes from some recent popular songs. My favorite is the Estelle feat. Kanye west-American Boy(Benny Benassi remix) Plus the CD is only 8 bucks at Target and it has 16 songs.
This is the only link I found for the song, but it sounds much better on the CD.
If you are into rock and dance songs why not have both at once? haha Try these sites, they have good mashups of all kinds of popular songs, you just have to search around. And yes, they are music sites, bootie is just the name. Check out best-of-bootie 2006 and 2007.
Also, if you would like to Rick Roll your party, this remix is nice.

And one more, this song has one of my favorite beats, it will definitely get your party going.
Hope this helps.
Tekla Klebetnica
If you’re into bachata salsa, go with aventura obsesion (a usual favorite)
Anything by Nelly
Something I came across last weekend
Danzel- pump it up
An oldie - Donna Summers - Hot stuff
And the evergreen Numa Numa (dragostea din tei) by O-zone
Thanks for the suggestions, this is coming together pretty well.
Now, if I only knew how to dance. I wish I could plug myself into a program like Neo in The Matrix. “I just learned how to boogy.”

thanks. the trick to a good party set is not just playing what you want to hear. plus its good to play songs that people already know the words to, people love to sing when theyre drunk.
