I have to agree with hell copter. iio - Rapture is a sure bet. just play a mix with a good bass line. The deep dish miami dub is good and avb mix as well.
Another main stream 'dance classic' is Vanilla Ice - Ice Ice Baby. Shitty song but excellent bass line .

Id say goto ur local music store, look at the chart cd's that are of mised music, in the uk there are ones like NOW 51 and BIG HITS 44 etc, they have dance/trance/garage/pop/cheese/rock and reflect the current trend of the general public, base ur play list on this but add more trance just for luck!

Sweet Lord. Play Agnellit & Nelson - Hudson Street(new york mix)

Every house party i have spun at including the ones with people that wernt into electronica someone has always askes me the name of that track.

Shit. I just read the other posts in this thread. Ok do your self a favour and DONT play any ABBA or salt and pepper. i mean sweet jesus...i guess if you want the crowd to laugh at you go ahead.

If its a crowd that isnt into electronica then bring hip hop and shit.

Don't do the mistake I did.

I had a gig not too long ago and I thought to myself: "I will show these no good, top 40 loving, simpletons what REAL music is like". It started well enough...I played some easily digested trance in the beginning but then started playing some real dark, thumping (awesome in my ears) trance. It was loud, it was fast, and it was awesome.

Then I started noticing people standing next to the booth staring at me. Not like: "Oh my God, he is soooo awesome and I have to have him now", but more like: "What planet is this dude from, anyway?”

Luckily I got the hint and not wanting to ruin my budding DJ career I submitted to the masses and played shit. There is a moral to this story. I am not entirely sure what it is but the bottom line is this:

People are sheep, play shit and make them happy. Then go home and cleanse yourself with airwave - rank 1 or something.

P.s. This only applies if you are a new DJ at a club/gig. If you have an established audience play what you feel like and screw ‘em. Then again, if you already are an established DJ you would not be reading this drivel…

Ya man there is no point forcing people to listen to electronica. I mean lets face it there are a hell of a lot more people that hate it then people that love it.

Barkmull - what music made the crowd happy? I'm DJing my high school's "Techno Mixer" and trying to decide if I should stick to real electronica or compromise a little.....

all i have to say bang COSMICMAN - I LOVE YOU & all GOURYELLA tracks haha... thats what iw ould do! they said bring music you have to show them what you like...
