Electronic songs for nOObs

I posted a thread like this a few years ago, but I can't find it, and I need an updated version.
I'm trying to show a friend the music I'm into. I made him a Ricardo Tobar & Digweed set. He says he liked it, but some of it was too "repetitive". It's such a pet peeve when nOObs say that. :rolleyes: I'm also pretty sure he skimmed through the sets, because nOObs aren't used to listening to an hour long non-stop set.
So I was thinking about songs that I used to like, that aren't too repetitive, maybe even some vocals (but not necessary). I can't remember a lot of song names, but these came to mind:
Robbie Rivera - Float Away
Gabriel & Dresden - As the Rush Comes
Criss Source - Hugs and Kisses
I don't want to get any more trancey than the songs I mentioned above. In fact, I want to show him some dark dirty tech house, but I need it to be nOOb proof. Maybe like Dubfire style music (where it's pretty decent and still on the "commercial" side)?
Any other suggestions? :) |

| If you're trying to get new people in to dance music, I suggest things that are loaded with vocals, a little slower, deeper hands in the air type music. You don't want to just be like "this is dark dirty club music" right out, you gotta give them something they can relate to. |

Tiesto - ISOS 5 ... good noob stuff.
What i'd really give them...
Danny Tenaglia - Back To Basics
Still one of my favorite compilations, never gets dull, has the dark side, has a dirty tribal side, has some sick grooves AND some quality vocal tracks. After they get into something like 'Back to Basics', you wont have to baby them much, they'll be like give me some more of that . |

| Stay away from playing them Filo and Peri - Anthem. Next thing you know they will be wearing raver 'candy' with pacifiers in their mouth and glowsticks. |

ISOS 1-3, they're actually a good listen IMO. Paul van Dyk's Global is a very uplifting and has vocals. Above & Beyond's Tri-State! ...all of those are trance though.
Balance and Fabric series. Balance is top notch! Holden, Burridge, Phil K, SOS, Voorn, etc. Fabric has a bigger collection and more diverse. Cut Copy (electronica band), Robert Hood (listened to it this morning :eyespop: ), LTJ Bukem (great d&b DJ!), Claude von Stroke, Magda, Michael Mayer, Krafy Kuts, etc. |

| I'm worried if I give him Tiesto or PVD, he'll start liking trance... and that's a big no-no! |

What type of music does he like now? Give him a mashup CD for now w/ vs. tracks like this....

Vegas style cluster type sets that go from rock to hip hop to house. (maybe not the best idea, but its somewhere in between) |

Electro indie is popular.
Kaskade. Guetta. Daft Punk. Bennasi. And such.
Go proven commercial. Even if old school. Cant go wrong with that.

| Anything in the Trance genre should do nicely. |

He has pretty good taste in music actually. He doesn't listen to the radio at all. He likes classical music, jazz, indie rock, old skool rap. So he is pretty open minded.
He definitely WILL NOT like the song on that link LOL! Thanks though Mikey. I can see how most nOObs might like that though. |

No. I want to make sure he doesn't get into trance or anything cheesey. |
