My Swancon DJing Rules (to keep things interesting)

Apr 17, 2011 11:13

Dave Cake and I are DJing at Swancon next weekend, as is our wont, and in response to the occasional criticism that I play the same old stuff over and over again (I take that as a compliment!) I've decided to liven things up by not playing songs I've played more than once before unless someone requests it. So no "Jesse's Girl", no "Block Rockin' ( Read more... )

djing, swancon

Funky dance beats please!

seanwilliams April 17 2011, 02:05:11 UTC

This kind of funky?

(start at around 1:05 and give it to 3:30 to really get peaking)

stephbg April 17 2011, 13:44:21 UTC

That's the kind of thing I nap to. I want to dance!

I was thinking more along the lines of Play That Funky Music White Boy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10uRa4oENus

Sure, I can play that. I haven't played it for years, so it's probably allowed. :-)

As long as you play one track by Pulp, I'll be happy.

seanwilliams April 17 2011, 02:06:06 UTC

I only have one and I've never played it, so there you go: it might happen. :-)

But if I play it, you HAVE to dance!

mortonhall April 17 2011, 02:07:51 UTC

That was the plan ..

seanwilliams April 17 2011, 02:10:14 UTC

You'd be surprised how many people don't!

Could you play Geek and Gamer girls ?

seanwilliams April 17 2011, 03:03:15 UTC

I don't even know what that is... (Showing my age, probably!)

My intention would be still to play old material, music I know well.

Google is your friend:

Ha! Love the costumes and the sentiment. Not so keen on the song, though. You'll have to get me really drunk, first. :-)

Nick Stathopoulos played a great remix of the 'UFO' theme when he was djing at Conflux; can you get hold of that? If you can, I promise not to request anything from Rocky Horror.

seanwilliams April 17 2011, 03:33:43 UTC

I have it somewhere. Will dig it up.

Actually, I have played "Time Warp" once now. It went down well and my head didn't explode. :-)

dalekboy April 17 2011, 11:25:27 UTC

Doctor Who on Holiday by Dean Grey!

If I'm lucky, I'll actually be in the room when it's played for once!

seanwilliams April 17 2011, 11:57:11 UTC

Tell me when you're there and we'll play it!
