Throw this massive track somewhere in the middle of your set, you'll kill the dancefloor.

Algarve - Seashore (Sturmkraft remix)

Spinning EDM at a hip-hop joint? not such a good idea... =\

Not be anal or anything, but if you wish to post links to full, unlicensed tracks, send the URL's through PM and try not to make it so blatantly obvious.

How about breakbeat?

Spin a breakbeat song or two with some rapping(even if it doesn't... they might still enjoy it) in it.

That remix is a fake. it is not done by prydz...heard from the man himself on his forum.

Timbaland - The Way I Are (Laidback Luke Remix)

wrong

its erics personal remix

Ballkoppie works for Pryda.

You must be thinking of Axwell's declination of remixing it, which is true.

Posted by headphonez on Nov-09-2007 02:51:

my mistake! I was thinking of axwell. It was a month or two ago i dont really remember well. thanks for the correction!

There are a number of well-known EDM DJs who got their start by playing hip-hop in clubs.

Markus Schulz is one example.

a lot of the current hip hop/r'n'b stuff is edm based.....britney - gimme more, nearly all of timbaland's stuff, justin timberlake's stuff etc.

try some 'just jack'...he is an english rapper who bases a lot of his stuff over funky house grooves, like 'starz in their eyes', 'no time(radio edit)' etc. there are some great house remixes of his stuff....starz in thier eyes(trophy twins rmx), writers block(seamus haji rmx), no time(wideboys rmx) and a few more. also try some of 'the streets'...the track 'blinded by the lights'. try 'weak become heroes(ashley beedle remix)'

i agree with a lot of people here that you shouldnt try and play too much edm, cos the crowd simply wont have any interest. if you do wanna play edm, your best bet is to just stick to quality house remixes of well know hip hop/r'n'b....many of the big names in house do remixes of this stuff, so you will have plenty to pick from. axwell has done loads of remixes of r'n'b stuff, so maybe try some of his (his remix of nelly furtado - promiscuous girl is quality). one thing i would say, is that if you are choosing edm tracks to throw in, make sure that you either set the cue point a bit into the song, mix using the radio versions of the tunes or else make sure that the rapping/singing/distinctive tune comes in early because a hip hop corwd will not want to hear 2 minutes of purely beats per song, like edm fans would.

by the way, that ayo technology remix that was posted sounds a lot like 'second sun - playground'

I Think i know what you want, try these out:

Steve Angello - Only Man (you can open with this)
Justin Timberlake - My Love (Paul Oakenfold Remix)
Groove Armada - R.A.P
Groove Armada - The Girls Say
Mos Def And Massive Attack - I Against I
Paul Oakenfold And Ice Cube - Get Em Up

And maybe: Seal - Get It Together (Bill Hamel Vocal Mix)

Thats all i can think of right now
