I DJ'd at two of my friends' wedding at the weekend - and what a jolly good time it was. I'm thoroughly enjoying playing house classics at the moment - it started out as a bit of fun for me when I was putting together the beats for my own Wedding, but I'm starting to actually get into it now!

Jon, we gotta talk about the meaning of the word 'classics'

This looks grand; I'm looking forward to giving it a listen this weekend

Do you know what mate, I reckon that track is a modern day classic. I've heard a few DJs drop it in classics sets, including Roger Sanchez, Smokin Jo, and even the lesser spotted System-J

Hope you enjoy it 😉

Well I really rather enjoyed this. PLenty of great tracks and mostly blended together seamlessly. The transistion from need to feel loved in mr brightside almost worked but the keys jarred a weeeee bit too much for my likng, although having said that if I had been on a wedding dancefloor rather than headphones im not sure I would have cared.

This is your second wedding house classics set mate, you thinking about setting up a mobile disco?

Haha. A couple of tracks were pre-requested by the groom (need to feel love and age of love), and a handful were requested from bridesmaids and the like on the night (man with the red face, yeke yeke and Mr brightside). I wasn't intending on play Mr Brightside but I shoehorned it in, thinking the melodies would complement. I reckon if I'd kept the fader down for the first 30 seconds I would have gotten away with quite a cool transition there, but alas...

That will always be the dream

Nice stuff, mate! It's fun sometimes to just pull an Oakenfold and slam classics back-to-back, and a wedding is obviously a perfect time for that.

No matter how long I live in Britain, I'm still cheerfully surprised by things like bridesmaids requesting 'Man with the Red Face' and 'Yeke Yeke.'

I agree with Dave, both about disliking the transition into The Killers and imagining that in person it wouldn't have been such a big deal. I hope the couple had a nice day

I'm liking this set alright, sure has the spirit of a best friend's wedding from what I can tell from that picture. I'm sure yall had a great time. I really like that you brought in need to feel love and mr Brightside as the closing encores, it looks like you did a great job.

Thanks for listening mate! Yeah I was pleasently surprised by the quality of requests that were coming in

There was one guy who said the music was 'too heavy' and could I 'play some bangra', but he was outnumbered, and outgunned
