sorry, my bad, it's just how i talk if i'm not at work. i'll try to tone it down in the future :)
ok this isn't actually a wedding gig but i have to get it off my chest, it was i moment of awesome in a night of meh. + a genuine good gig/bad gig to boot.
quick backstory, i rocked 3 weddings...
so just to see what happened i opened with billie jean on saturday and it went down quite well :) however it was an older crowd (later 30s?) with clearly diverse tastes. that said i might use it...
gotta weigh in on the "hell yes i eat from the buffet" side. often i'm there from 11am making sure the sound system is up and running and don't leave till after midninght, and i'll be damned if i'm...
move like jagger worked :)
obviously this could change in a month or 3.
i may try some of these oldies suggestions and see if i get a good reaction, but i'm often told to play "only the latest...
thanks, those are all pretty legit options. i thought about moves like jagger but wasn't sure, i agree thats one that's pretty universally popular, plus it's got a good intro for transitioning from...
urgh, after several weddings-of-the-year in a row for me, i had a real dog the last one out. the actual djing bit was fine, i think everyone liked the music i was playing, especially once they all...
do you guys have a standby song or two that *never* *fails* to get people off their seats when you start the night off with it? say when you've got the floor filled for the bridal waltz/first dance,...
any updates to this?
my current top 10 is a little stale, not that anyone over the age of 11 seems to notice:
On The Floor Jennifer Lopez
starships nicki minaj
Party Rock Anthem Lmfao
Sexy...
well spotted, this is on their playlist. now where the heck did those lovely d&b chillout tunes about getting married go?
i was having a similar problem getting the dancefloor going this saturday, after about 20 minutes of lackluster reactions i saw the bride and some friends and family standing nearby. i was in the...
i did a wedding this saturday where the grey hairs were the seemingly only ones who wanted to dance! granted they probably outnumbered the mid 20's lot about 2 to one, and the youngsters joined in...
not the worst idea ever ;) a bit off topic but i got the 2011 mos annual a while ago, disk 3 was "underground" and i was surprised (no, shocked!) at the quality of the tunage.
thanks again guys, ryu that's some very helpful info. love that mix, i recognize a lot of those songs up till about 40 minutes in, when it passes the 2001 mark ;) it's even got a couple of my fave...
awesome, just the kind of thing i was looking for :) i'll download all of em if i can!
but, umm, any idea which of these is the mega-anthem among the mega-anthems? in case i gotta pick one out...
sure, it's an aussie couple having their wedding at a posh villa. you get a lot of that around here :)
well, there's a first time for everything ha ha ha!
ok, for the record, what happened was everything other than jai ho (which got a good reaction from the whole mixed crowd) i played entirely off the guest's ipods. i wish i could tell you what the...
apparently they're "into their dance music" and "like a bit of drum & bass and dubstep" they also told me to bring lots of hip hop and r&b too. so honestly, chances are it'll turn into more or less...
awww, shucks, it sounds so great when you put it that way! and yes, it's a great job i'm lucky to have, even though i start to feel like murph from the magic tones every once in a while
YouTube ...
any chance you could remember these? sounds like an interesting setlist in the works!
the gm of my hotel has informed me there are gonna be loads of indian guests the our little nye party this year, so i better bring the bollywood. unfortunately i don't know a hell of a lot about...
hmmm, when i'm 64 might be cool, but i'm thinking that might be hard to sing. is it? <tries to hum it> i'll try to find "get me to the church on time", how could i not have that in my setlists?
...
thanks, it's great to be here!
the romanian wedding involved a lot of black eyed peas, OMG by usher, dancing queen, y.m.c.a., and i will survive, and an old guy coming up and yelling at me for...
bali is full of australians, (it's right next door to them) so i've played loads of weddings for them. younger aussies who actually live in australia request the presets *every single time* i play...
just got this interesting request from one of my clients:
"By the way, I wanna sing for my wife and I guess make a fool out of myself but I’ll need your help on this surprise. We’ll probably do...
