Uptown Funk - follow up track

[Darnfatruler]

Ok guys, I can play lots and lots of songs that lead in perfectly to Uptown Funk, but i seem to be a bit perplexed as to what song will follow on after. Any ideas? Maybe Valerie by Amy Winehouse or some MJ? What do you think?

cheers
Alan

exactly what I did last night

A bit of Cameo so they can hear how proper funk sounds....

[Excalibur]

A bit of Cameo so they can hear how proper funk sounds....

Or Ladies Night by Kool and the gang, going into oops up. They'll never know you're playing another song, cos Uptown ripped both of those tracks off.

Looking at my history for the last few weeks:

we are family
Soul man
Billie Jean
Right Here
Let's Dance - DB
Blurred Lines
Happy
Get Lucky
Be faithful (bit of a random request I seem to remember)
Wrapped up
Wanna dance with somebody
All about that bass
Thriller (that works well actually using the bass line)
Blurred lines
Lady Marmalade?
Get Lucky
Get Lucky

Its all christmas parties before that with a 70's theme.

although I have not done it much - it should follow with some funk. James Brown or Disco I think

I recently winged it & teased in the guitar intro of 'Place Your Hands' by Reef over a breakdown in Uptown Funk. The screams when they recognised the Reef track told me it'd be about right to go there next. Took some fairly radical speed correction though. Use sparingly, and not without key lock

NB I should add here that I'm not generally so reckless.. I'm normally more of a curve follower, i.e. follow up with something that links to it somehow, but the other guys who've replied so far have covered that.

Remember, what's worked in other situations may very well bomb when it's tried again. If only music programming were as simple as A + B + C = D

I use the CLX extended mix of uptown funk, then mix that into the extended floorfiller version of wrapped up from mastermix. If you cue the olly tune from where he starts then it mixes perfectly with uptown funk although you do have to ramp up olly's tempo but it does sound lovely.

Was Not Was - Walk the Dinosaur fits perfectly with no pitch correction if you're looking to change genre and go back the 80's!

Prince - Kiss (up the tempo a bit)
Lips Inc - Funky Town
James Brown - I feel Good
