Lol, didn't mean for it to sound so condescending ;)
I still say bang out the EDM and find some way to soil the kids parents bedroom before the night is out.  |

it's the damndest thing, highschoolers.
back when i was in HS, i could play any type of track, trying to get them to dance, and at best, i had people standing around the decks, telling me i was doing a good job, and staring.
i kept getting requests from people who liked EDM to play at their bdays and such, even if the crowd didn't like it. i normally declined, but sometimes, they'd insist so much, saying to do it for them, just cuz it was their bday, that i couldn't refuse. normally ended up in ing sucky nights.
on the other hand, this one time, i took my decks with me to school. had music class that day, and the teacher asked the students involved with music to do a jam session, somehow. i played some more bare-bones tracks, that were mostly beats/percussion, and had a friend play piano over it, another did bass, another violin, etc. some of it sounded ok, other not so much, but it was fun.
anyway, i basically didn't go to class for that day. right after music, which was first hour, i went to an empty classroom, plugged my in, and i had taken some speakers from the school PA. i could make a nice amount of noise, as the nearest busy classroom on the floor was far off. at one point, after recess, a bunch of students rushed in, following the sound as they were walking by, most were classmates of mine. they just wandered in, and began to dance. i was playing tracks specifically for my hearing pleasure, and continued to do so for the following 20 minutes, until teachers got pissed and raided the party and sent everyone to class.
so, anyways, expect it to suck. |

Educate the kids so you wont have this problem. Invite them all to your house and put a bowl of weed in the middle of the floor with a bong.
I got everybody hooked on house around here :cool: :p |

What is with all of the spam posts recently?
There were some threads about this recently, so I'm just going to re-post what I said there. Good luck, and if the going gets really bad give them a big " you" with Aphex Twin - Windowlicker!

As for who remixes them, Junior Vasquez and Tony Moran are the big names, but there are also companies like Ultimix/Funky Mix and Promo Only that put out exclusive remixes. I personally go for Gomi, E-Smoove, or Lenny B remixes.
Some Top40 remixes that I've done well with:
catdolls - Dont Cha (Kaskade Mix)
Justin Timberlake - My Love (Paul Oakenfold Mix)(yes...he's now remixing Top40...)
Justin Timberlake - Like I Love You (Basement Jaxx Vocal Mix)
(also check out the 'Acid Dub'. Killer tune!)
Mary J Blige - Be Without You (Promo Only Remix)
Madonna - Sorry (PSB Maxi-Mix)
This one is well-known but by a different crowd:
Cast Of Rent - Seasons Of Love (Gomi's Lair Mix)

First get those who like pop trance, chemical brothers or the like, and show them haw much deeper the EDM rabbit hole goes, usually it works well.
Then find those who are just listening to rap because everyone else is. They're also easy. |
