Help with "popular" electro needed

[sebastiannz]

...It's just not my thing but my wife thinks that a straight beat is a straight beat and doesn't know any better so she acted as a booking agent without consulting with me first. ..,

love this quote

also like the fact you would have turned it down if you had known you had to play music you don't really like... doing parties you don't enjoy really takes the fun out of it.

I have this issue but in reverse....

I have to play all that top 40 crap, the stuff that is just all million different Genres, most of which dont mix with each other, you cant dance to it, and if Im honest, should never be played at a party. Im into Electro-house, Trance,House,Dubstep, Techno-house and a tiny bit of RNB, so it gets pretty boring when your playing Bruno mars at what 80 BPM?....

So my advice would be just to ask one of the kids to give you any and all of his favourite songs and then just fade them in and out, they probably wont know any better if their hiring someone who doesnt even like the Genre...

PS: What music are you actually into? I memeber reading somewhere on this site that if you dont like the music try and find a remix of it in your genre Like "Like a G6 - Cap'n'Hook remix" to me is better than the orginal so I can play it at a party and please me and the crowd

Electro Mix Ideas

[ponyboy]

Disclaimer: These are just my suggestions :P so don't take them as final!

So if they like Deadmau5 and the sort, definitely play the following:

Deadmau5 - Strobe (Club edit)
Deadmau5 - Ghosts 'N Stuff
Deadmau5 - Reward is Cheese
Deadmau5 & Kaskade - Move for Me

Deadmau5 is really easy to mix, so anything you get by him should be good for the night.

Arman Van Buuren - In And Out of Love
Benny Benassi - Satisfaction
Darude - Sandstorm
DJ Mangoo - Eurodancer
(Tune Up?) - Raver's Fantasy
Eric Prydz - Call on Me
East Clubbers - Sextasy
Kaskade with Tiesto - Only You
Paul Van Dyk - For An Angle
Sidney Samson - Riverside
Zombie Nation - Kernkraft 400

If they dig some more trance elements in their electro music:

Tiesto - Traffic
Tiesto - Adagio for Strings
Tiesto - Elements of Life

The Daft Punk songs can probably work too...but I'd be careful if they really like house elements of music.

Sorry, but that list is really f*cked.

PVD - For an Angel?
Zombie Nation?
Darude - Sandstorm?

Are you high? I think you must be high.

Drop Zeds Dead for me....I pretty much like alot of the music ppl posted so idk

Do alot of ppl on the forums listen to this music or just for doing 'electro-house' parties etc...

Gigi Barocco has some good stuff as far as remixes.

Crookers
+1 to cassius if you already like house
Some of benny benassi's new stuff gets me moving
Skrillex...ugghhh, but it would probably be good to have on hand if you have a bunch of 16 yr old hipsters.

I can't express to you how much I hate that song.

Like, there aren't words enough to get across the intensity of the flames that I would burn that song and all involved in it being made and listened to.
