must have tunes for a MOBILE DISCO

[Thames Valley Discos]

OK, i,ll try again. Please add as and when you hear a good NEW tune you feel would go down well at a mobile disco event. What i would class as, a MUST HAVE TUNE, that is popular and recognised by the masses!! :)

[A1DL]

I think you've made that quite clear now Paul !

So, you mean tunes like...













Play now DJ C "A It Dat" (Boston Junglist Mix) :teeth: :teeth:

You got that one Badger? :embarasse

[Have a disco]

strangely enuff yes but no to playing it at a wedding mobile disco

[Thames Valley Discos]

Supermode works at most mobile functions because it's got that all important familiarity factor

[Have a disco]

current one for few weeks ne*yo - sexy love

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

current one for few weeks ne*yo - sexy love

Wouldn't really say that's a must have, and it's been out for a few weeks.

Good tune though :)

[Danno13]

Supermode has been out a while too... played it tonight though, but only early on when people where still stuffing their faces from the buffet!

Also played the Paris Hilton track early in the evening tonight, thats out in a couple of weeks and is quite a nice tune.

Justin Timberlake also has a new one out in August, not had a chance to listen to it yet though.

Oh.. and mousee t vs dandy warholls will work well too.. and its on NOW64 that came through my door this morning.

[Candybeatdiscos]

rhianna - unfaithful

[Have a disco]

Ok NE*YO was not upfront enuf try this in 3 weeks time

Dem Franchise Boys - Riding Rims

or

Janet Jackson Ft. Nelly - Call On Me

trying to keep to thread here guys

[Corabar Entertainment]

Dem Franchise Boys - Riding Rims...but do you really think that is going to be that big that it is going to be one of the "must have tunes for a MOBILE DISCO" - as in the title of this thread?

[Have a disco]

Afraid to say yes its going to be the current R'n'B tune for the next 3 months, on mobiles like 50 cent in da club was on mobiles. afraid most R'n'B is a 3 month thing in most cases

[Alex - Cream Ents]

The Justin Timberlake tune is called "sexyback"

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

Ok NE*YO was not upfront enuf

Is this not a thread about must have tunes for a mobile DJ and not 'upfront' tunes?

[Have a disco]

Hence the reason I put NE*YO - Sexy love perfect R'n'B tune for mobiles currently

Look lets face it everyones choice for perfect must have tunes for mobiles is different, I cant win so holly hocks to this therad

[Corabar Steve]

trying to keep to thread here guys
& failing abysmally :teeth:

[Have a disco]

so what so bloody wrong with NEYO

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

so what so bloody wrong with NEYO

It's a nice R&B tune, but hardly a 'must have'.

[Have a disco]

It will get put on now 65 thats good enuff for me

[Corabar Steve]

Yeah, on disc 2

[BeerFunk]

Sorry, but if you're only talking about new tunes which are 'must haves' - technically there will be 10 posts a month (if you're lucky)

[Have a disco]

Yeah, on disc 2

what diference does it matter which one of the 2 discs it goes upon but then again Now collection is very iffy on what gets put on as they have missed some classics over the years

[Corabar Steve]

Go through your Now collection, with the excepion of the last 3 & you'll see what I mean

[Thames Valley Discos]

Sorry, but if you're only talking about new tunes which are 'must haves' - technically there will be 10 posts a month (if you're lucky)
Thats the idea of this thread, not really a discussion thread, just for must have tunes, as and when you hear them. Keep us all upto date on such tunes.

[edwin]

Chamillionaire - Ridin' is a must have Hip-Hop song at the moment. Getting loads of airplay.

[dj_ags]

Chamillionaire - Ridin' is a must have Hip-Hop song at the moment. Getting loads of airplay.

It is a pretty catchy tune i must admit, even if im not hip-hop's biggest fan :)

[Groove Spinner]

Scissor Sisters - I Don't Feel Like Dancing. Just a fantastic tune and really catchy. I've been playing it for about three weeks and it gets a great response.

[soundtracker]

Sorry, but if you're only talking about new tunes which are 'must haves' - technically there will be 10 posts a month (if you're lucky)
I totally agree with Beerfunk, I'm actually struggling to think of ten "must haves" this year! :teeth:

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

Scissor Sisters - I Don't Feel Like Dancing. Just a fantastic tune and really catchy. I've been playing it for about three weeks and it gets a great response.

Great tune and one that will be played a lot in December no doubt...

But is it a must have for a mobile DJ????????

What abour Beatfreakz - Superfreak? (Rick James gets a dance remix)

[Have a disco]

NOPE another pile of drivel waffling on and on etc etchardly De La Soul class is it

[Discodaz]

I've been listening to a band called Coldplay, but I don't think they'll go far.

[BeerFunk]

I've been listening to a band called Coldplay, but I don't think they'll go far.
I've been listening to their first 2 albums recently in the car. Really good stuff, but then they started to get predictable and samey - can't be bothered with their new stuff :sad:

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

Coldplay, absolutely essential to pack any dance floor....NOT!

Hey I've agreed with Beerfunk twice in two days-must see if anybody can spare me some nasty pills! :teeth:

[dj andy allwood]

But is it a must have for a mobile DJ????????

whats mobile dj's got to do with this site??? .............oh hang on a sec nevermind scrap that!!! :)

[dj_ags]

Here are a few new tunes that are soon to grace the charts, and IMO, will do well!

Infernal - Self Control
The Killers - When You Were Young
PCD - I Don't Need A Man
Lil' Chris - Checkin' It Out
Beatfreakz - Freakshow
Roger Sanchez ft. Lisa Pure - Lost
Chanel - My Life (Haji and Emanuel Edit)

Bob Sinclar - Rock This Party (not sure, but every one seems to be talking about it!)

My dad's top tune of the moment is "Simply Red - Oh! What A Girl" ... but i doubt it'll do well!

C'mon guys, what are your suggestions?

[Danno13]

Lil' Chris - Checkin' It Out

Just grabbed this off napster today.. kept hearing it on the radio, its very addictive! Not a big fan of the new Killers one.. his voice sounds too moany (ala Coldplay etc.)

Chanel is a good track as well, also take a look at Changes by Chris Lake.. they've put a vocal over it, which makes it sound odd.. but it'll probably be quite popular.

[Candybeatdiscos]

Purchased in last few days from Itunes

supermode - tell me why ( an old one but still a cracking tune)
Superfly Inc - Moving too fast - (see above)
Keane - Crystal Ball (tall Paul Mix) - dunno if its old but what a track, like the orginal this is better
Miljahana-K - Neil Diamond Megamix (the guy is brilliant, and this cracking wee megamix is great)
Sailor - glass of Champagne (M&S advert - See other thread)
QFX - Freedom (voodoo & Serano Mix) - one of my all time favourite songs (lost original)

[Corabar Steve]

Not a big fan of the new Killers one.. his voice sounds too moany (ala Coldplay etc.)Coldplay!!!!!!!! :omg:


I'm sorry but that's Twaddle, piffle, balderdash & flapdoodle!
(Sounds like a law firm doesn't it? :teeth: )

[Danno13]

Just listened again.. and its just the voice i'm talking about here.. he's definatley got the whole whiney style going on.. not quite as bad as coldplay though!

[colinm345]

ok, i quite like supermode-tell me why. remix of bronski beat(sample). Will give it a road test later.

Yes its great I get the new realeases from Ministry Of Sound free of charge to test out:teeth:

[dj andy allwood]

here is a few for ya!!

Akcent - kylie (if said this already haven't i?)
Super Jupiter - you know
just jack - writers block

[soundtracker]

I got totally misled by the title of this thread I thought it was about "must have tunes for a MOBILE DISCO " but obviously I was wrong!

[Corabar Steve]

Yes, we do seem to be veering into clubland again.

[Have a disco]

keeping to club pop hit in the making

14th Precinct - All out of love (this is going move alot of people as it has a cagney & lacey sample within it)

[dj steady]

Scissor Sisters......Don't feel like dancing.....

This is doing good bussiness at the moment, fills dancefloors got to be my most requested tune at the moment...

[Corabar Steve]

Well I'd say that's the first must have for a mobile on this thread for a while

[Disco 463]

I know I’m new but this seems to do well at the moment when I play it.

Something Kinda Ooooh - Girls Aloud.

[Sam]

deff scissor sisters.. and all their other songs do very well too.
Girls aloud jump is another requested one that everyone likes..

[Corabar Steve]

I think Bootyluv - Boogie 2nite (R&B mix) will be worth having in the near future (much better than the original mix)

[Danno13]

Heard a cracker on Radio One earlier..

House track but with RnBish vocals... its by "lo(w) rider".. can't remember the track name , but definatley one to look out for!

A few more, whilst i rememeber..

All Saints - Rock Steady (some good dance mixes out there too)
Jamiroquai - Runaway (more the kinda thing you'd play early evening but still a good track)
Bugz in the Attic - Don't stop the music (Yarborough & Peoples Cover)

[Disco 463]

This is good. Quite catchy.

Mika - Relax (take it easy) :teeth:

A bit like Scissor sisters.

[Have a disco]

MUST HAVE TUNES FOR A MOBILE - Don't think so!

[Corabar Steve]

Has anyone heard the new song from the 'Beatfreakz' ? I think its a craker. :)Erm.....

What abour Beatfreakz - Superfreak? (Rick James gets a dance remix)

[Have a disco]

MUST HAVE TUNES FOR A MOBILE - Don't think so!

sorry I dont just play the same 1000 regular tracks or so that every disco seems to play. Neither do I limit myself to the likes of Now thats what I call music as upfront tunes that could be played as DJ's we aint stuck in a time warp and customers these days are as liable to want stuff they here upon the radio as well as they here in the clubs (Customers are no longer backward to music trends) Hence my comments were tunes that worked for me at an 18th birthday party a mobile disco at that, not a club night they all those I suggested would work at a 40th, maybe at a wedding if fitted in correctly.

I do wonder how many of you play the same set week in and week out?? I feel that these would be great must have tunes for a mobile (A DJ's are to entertain & educate) unless a customer has specified no new music it gets played at every disco if it fits in. Its a hit & miss affair at every disco. but timing is essential. No one thought Black Box - ride on time would become essential disco classic?? I do apologise if you do not like my opinion of the choices I made as they are very upfront currently but most will cross over Im not usually too far out with music like this

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

For mobile functions generally, unless they have specified club tunes, people will generally only dance to music they know.

We are not there to educate people at all.

We are talking 'mobile' here, not upfront clubs.

[Corabar Steve]

I feel this thread should be retitled Must have Dance tunes for a mobile disco.

HOWEVER.......

I've found that far more requests are coming in for indie style stuff recently

So.......


the Fratellis - Chelsea dagger

[Corabar Entertainment]

And the point of this thread was for MUST HAVE tunes for mobile DJs - not for all the 'up-front' stuff - you had a different thread up and running for that and this thread was started to separate it away from the one that you had put all the 'up-front' stuff on.

I am sure that mosts DJs on here don't play the same set week in, week out - but the real MUST HAVE's are the ones that are going to last and not be just a flash in the pan, and as such are few and far between...... not 10 a week

[Have a disco]

And general I would have to agree with you in a way but only stuff like this gets put on the now collections if its good enuff very rarely do I ever have to play most of it but its a good guide to must have stuff for a mobile wether its indy or dance or just popular tunes its one of the best barometers on the music scene

Everyone has there opinion but in general if it lasts less than 4 weeks in the charts it aint worth playing. It becomes a lesser played tune compared to the real longterm hits

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

Everyone has there opinion but in general if it lasts less than 4 weeks in the charts it aint worth playing.

And the list of songs you posted - do you think any of them will be in the chart for more than 4 weeks?

Probably not, and so the list is pointless.

[Thames Valley Discos]

The original post was meant for tunes that were a must have at your mobile disco. Tunes that were most likely to be asked for. As i personally tend to listen to talk radio, i miss whats hot in the charts. So this thread was meant to help people like me, keep an eye on tunes we should listen to and buy for the MOBILE circuit. It was not meant for the Pete Tong essential mix tunes.

What total nonsense- our job isn't to educate, our job is to make sure that our dancefloors are full and that people are having a good time. I would guarantee that 90% of your list would clear the floor at most events, even 18th birthdays, unless there is a very dance savvy crowd. As Daz says, people dance to what they know.

So are we talking songs we all should have, old or new?

[Corabar Entertainment]

...as I understand it, it's for the new ones out to keep up with what will probably be asked for

[DMX Will]

Yeah....Ibiza's top 401 arn't much good to me....lol

[Have a disco]

I do find this thread confusing as Its seems to contradict its self over and over again

as I said If we all carried around the same top 1500 mobile tunes. Would we all not sound the same????? Now some of you play more rock n roll some of us R & B tunes some like me more dance tunes (please note I regularly carry on average 15,000 tunes of various genres & eras) But in general if we dont try new tunes we will never know if they are to work at all. A DJ is always educating himself and customers its a trial n error thing at every party. I have had Rock n roll flop at some nights and drum and bass rock instead visa versa.

Every event is different and I try to please all ages weddings are slightly different in the fact that its 2 peoples night not like most other parties

The question at hand is not considering how wide a choice of music there is to play at every event so A must have tune for one mobile in one area may be a must not have in another area or the same could apply to every disco done

The tunes I posted were dance someone may decide that 10 rock/Indie tunes would be a must for the month week or year there is no limit to a must have for mobiles as they are so diversive

Or is it the fact that your only willing to play Radio One Top 40 charted music and not try somethings from say the weekly DMC charts or the American Billboard Charts or even Indie charts

[Thames Valley Discos]

...as I understand it, it's for the new ones out to keep up with what will probably be asked for

Its not about what tunes we have, its about NEW TUNES that are a MUST HAVE for the MOBILE circuit. Ones that we are likely to be asked for!!!

[soundtracker]

Disagree Badger - Something is either MUST HAVE or it isn't. The way that I see this thread is that we are looking for songs that we can add to our playlist which will have longevity - Scissors Sisters is a definate, we will be playing it for years - but stuff that relies on old samples to get noticed is here today - gone tomorrow. Take something like Eric Prydz - Call on Me - 12 months or so ago it was huge - now, it's as dead as a dodo!

[Have a disco]

I would disagree with the sissor sistors track I give that 12 months and it will be dead as such but the fact it has managed to keep it at No 1 for 4 weeks would do it some justice

In general music is only now starting to become realistic again what with internet sales included within the figures There has not been many tracks come flying in straight to No 1 like there was in the likes of 2000 when 40 did it

[Thames Valley Discos]

Badger, can i suggest you start a new thread titled. Must have tunes for a club dj that no one will request.

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

I have had Rock n roll flop at some nights and drum and bass rock instead visa versa.

This is where the ability to read the dance floor comes into play.




Or is it the fact that your only willing to play Radio One Top 40 charted music and not try somethings from say the weekly DMC charts or the American Billboard Charts or even Indie charts

I don't try music that may clear the dance floor. I've heard so many stories of DJs playing what they wanted and clearing floors. What you fail to remember is that guests at a wedding for example, may only go to one party a year and don't want to hear something that you have decided to try out.

They generally want tried and tested familiar tunes that they can dance and sing to.

It seems to me that you are getting confused with DJing in bars and clubs, which is a totally different kettle of fish.

[soundtracker]

Or perhaps start a site for Club DJs - this site is for MOBILE DJs, you know, the ones that have to work hard- Not those that shoot fish in a barrell.

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

I would disagree with the sissor sistors track I give that 12 months and it will be dead as such


Sorry, but now you are talking complete rubbish.

Like it it or not, that track is one of the most catchy, playable, danceable tunes around and will be around in a years time, of that there's no doubt.

[Thames Valley Discos]

A tune such as Scissors Sisters is what i,m after. Its a tune that i,m almost certainly going to be asked for at upcoming gigs, due to the fact that most of the guests will be familiar with it

[Corabar Steve]

I would disagree with the sissor sistors track I give that 12 months and it will be dead as such
Like their instantly forgetable first album?

As ever I do read my crowds very well but requests are requests from guests and if its there party I do what the customer wishes

Please trust me I do feel like a chameleon sometimes and I do revert from club to disco DJ without any problems.

And if I wanted to set up a forum for club Dj's I would have done so but I DJ in both enviroments. So I get to see future Must have mobile tunes way before most of you and I play them to all age groups which most of the tracks I put down were used all weekend just gone and response was very favourable. Please note we are going through a late eighties revival so lots of remakes are coming through as well as rock tunes being jazzed up for the dance market Eric Prydz being an early one

I do feel that some of your ideas of what dictates must haves tunes for mobiles are very blinkered in view and please note I am approaching this subject very lightly infact Im finding the conversation very entertaining

[Corabar Entertainment]

...but the clue is in the title MUST Haves - not "these are complete unknowns which may go down well and a couple of them might still be remembered in a couple of months"

[Have a disco]

In which case its back to the point made buy steve Must haves gone buy or right now that will last, as this is mission impossible to judge till at least say 3 years has passed and the track is still played time and time again which leads me back to the fact that really there can only be say 1500 tracks that could be classed as must haves??

[Corabar Steve]

so lots of remakes are coming through as well as rock tunes being jazzed up for the dance market Eric Prydz being an early one
Just coz the original was Steve Winwood, don't make it rock

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

So I get to see future Must have mobile tunes way before most of you

But they are not 'must have' tunes for mobiles. This is where you don't seem to see the difference.


I do feel that some of your ideas of what dictates must haves tunes for mobiles are very blinkered in view

I would rather be blinkered and keep people dancing and getting referral after referral, because I am playing what my clients want.

I will say it again. You are getting clubs and mobiles confused.

[Corabar Entertainment]

In which case its back to the point made buy steve Must haves gone buy or right now that will last,FGS!!! How many times and how many different ways can we put this!!!! New songs that you think may last the test of time!!!!!

[Thames Valley Discos]

see this thread is working. not

[Thames Valley Discos]

FAO BADGER.
Please add as and when you hear a good NEW tune you feel would go down well at a mobile disco event. What i would class as, a MUST HAVE TUNE, that is popular and recognised by the masses!!

[Corabar Steve]

So I get to see future Must have mobile tunes way before most of you
You're not the only one on here who gets MOS promos

Dancing Queen, by Abba always seems to work quite well for me.

It probably won't be played in a few years though :D

[Thames Valley Discos]

Badger, i dont care how soon you get tracks before i do, but if they get no air play, they wont be popular tunes heard by the masses. Get my drift!

I was backing up thames as the question is ambiguous and as my predictions to possible must have mobile music of the future is not appreciated.

I do feel that some of you are stuck in a rut playing the same tunes week in and out and suggest you go and see some good pub disco's in action. Im not labeling or tarring you all with the same brush but if you read the thread from beginning to end your starting to sound like your all older than me and you have lost your belief in new music. My choices were yes from the club dance scene or on MTV played regularly already so some of it is getting airplay in the daytime some not..

I remember when SYDNEY Youngbloods - If only I could

which hung around for 2 years before it charted, but if I play it at a disco now people go wild for it. not everything is abba dancing queen all the time or summer of 69 week in week out I like to rotate my music as not to start sounding stale lets face it abba had loads of hits but people forget this fact and expect the same 2 or 3 songs all the time and many dj's will only play one of there songs all the time waterloo for example

If you are working in the same bar or pub every week, yes.

I got the impression this was more about songs for functions rather then pubs though? Perhaps Paul can tell us what his thoughts are?

When I used to do pubs a lot, I played mainly new music as it is a real change from what I would play when doing a function, but in pubs, there's not always a dance floor, so it didn't matter if people hadn't heard the tune before and didn't dance.

[soundtracker]

I was asked for that ONCE! Do get asked for Whatever, whenever,however!

[Have a disco]

Yes thats the point. They do because they are familiar with it now. But if you would have played it 2 years before release they would not have!

hence my reason for posting my list some of them will and maybe held back till next year or just be continuously pushed until it charts. the egg - walking away is a classic this year it was hammered to death until citroen picked it up then it got into overdrive when lyrics were added by david guetta and it charted now it will last for years as a must have track???

I believe that most will play a part in future hits for mobiles prehaps that is a better title for the thread rather than must have tunes for mobile discos

And I have been getting more DJ work recently and am taking bookings for december etc

I disagree.

Although I think this is a blinding track, it's not going to be around for mobile use for much longer than a couple of months.

I've played it a couple of times with limited success.

Bu the thing you're failing to grasp is that the vast majority of gigs that mobile DJs do don't involve upfront dance music. Therefore your lists are irrelevant.

[Corabar Entertainment]

Badger, if you recall, Paul tried to start a similar thread before this one, but you misinterpreted what he had put in his original post and started filling it up with 'upfront dance tunes'. Everyone tried to clarify what Paul had originally meant, but you continued to post 'upfront dance tunes' because you insisted that Paul had not made it clear what he wanted in that original thread. So, everyone gave up trying to get that thread back on track and suggested that you continue to post on that thread your 'upfront dance tunes' and Paul would start a new thread for the 'New Must Haves for Mobiles'..... which he did. Result: this thread..... and you have continued all the way through this thread posting up your 'upfront dance tunes', despite everyone trying to explain to you that this thread is not for that until they are blue in the face (Deja vu, anyone!) ..... and have you continued the other thread that everyone else abandoned because it had turned into Badger's 'upfront dance tunes'? Answer: No

Is it any wonder that people get exasperated??????

[Have a disco]

Sorry I did not do it purposely but most disco music does originate from the club world originally R & B Hip hop Soul Trance Techno House Disco Europop all major contributors

when we even had the madchester sessions of indie dance music on the dance scene it was around for a while in the 90's. now there are barely 10 tracks that work left at most discos people have a short attention span

I do believe that predicting a song to last the test of time almost impossible much like me posting a list of future dance hits filtering down and becoming a must have dance tune for a mobile its pure futility

[BeerFunk]

Wow, this has all gone a bit Pete Tong!

I think you'll find waaay back in this thread I posted a comment as to how this thread was never gonna work - due to there being only a handful of 'essential' tunes a mobile DJ needs each year.

But I'm not gonna say 'I told you so!' :p

[Thames Valley Discos]

only a handful of 'essential' tunes
are you kidding me?
so you think over a year, you will only ever be asked for five tunes that have been released in that year?
i,m sure there will be more

[axeman]

at this point i think i'll chip in, some songs that always work for me, i use a few songs (sometimes in a different order) as an intro to the second half

party boys - build me up buttercup
billy ocean - love really hurts
van morrison - brown eyed girl
drifters - saturday night at the movies (pitched up a bit)

then into a bit motown or girly stuff candi statton, dianna ross, etc

good to see paul and danno almost have a sense of humour, lol.

also this week i heard "Bootyluv - Boogie 2 Nite (Seamus Haji Edit)" its a great new version and is my top tip...lol

[Corabar Steve]

I think Bootyluv - Boogie 2nite (R&B mix) will be worth having in the near future (much better than the original mix)


Bootyluv - Boogie2nite (DB Boulevard mix) rather than R & B mix which is also nice


also this week i heard "Bootyluv - Boogie 2 Nite (Seamus Haji Edit)" its a great new version and is my top tip...lol

Where ya been? Keep up man! :D :D

[Danno13]

I'm not convinced by Bootyluv... the original Seamus haji mix of Tweet, from 2002 (it was one of the extra tracks on her follow up single) is much better and close enough to the new version to still be recognised.

When I used to do pubs a lot, I played mainly new music as it is a real change from what I would play when doing a function,

. this is what i'm planning on doing

obviously if people ask me for something i'll play it but i'd like to get away from playing what everybody else is playing i:e chart stuff and old hits

there's a few good student type pubs in liverpool that i want to get a few gigs in & i can't see chart stuff & r&b going down too well there

then the flip side is weddings & **** it'll be cheese all the way

i wouldnt worry about it too much, my opinion is once people have had a few bevvies down them they'll dance to any old crap

[axeman]

This is exactly what i do, pub nights thursday and sunday...playing whatever i like and a lot of requests, it gives me a chance to try out new songs or old songs i dont ussually play !! ive put some videos of the place on you tube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzYMvKT1dU8) (quality isnt too good,)
its a lot of laffs - i really look forward to sunday nights.

[Corabar Steve]

We're a little :offtopic: aren't we?

sorry - that's my fault, anyhoo last night i tried that 14th precinct track the all out of love remake, and it went down really well older peeps singing along and the younger ones obviously coz its brand new and dancey, ill deffo play it more!!

[Corabar Steve]

Which All out of love?

[Danno13]

The one by Air Supply.

The new version also uses the Cagney and Lacey theme tune, i think its way too cheesy personally, but still worth having.

[Danno13]

The problem with MIKA is it slows down too much in places, i think thats where Darren was coming from with not being dancey. Apart from the beggining and end "don't stop me" now is very danceable all the way through, and a higher BPM too.

Will have to go look for the Bimbo Jones Mix now...

How about Just Jack - Starz in their eyes.. another track crying out for a good house mix.. but definitley a "must have"

Give it a try - tht's the proof of the pudding.

It's certainly catchy enough, but I just feel it's a little slow in places.

Give me the Andy Pickles remix of the original Run DMC/Aerosmith version any day.

[Corabar Steve]

Hayseed Dixie or the original AEROSMITH version (Run DMC wern't around when it was originally recorded (1977)) for me

Some guy asked me for something 'ravey' at one of my residencies on saturday. I chucked on the new Enter Shikari single 'Anything can happen in the next 5 minutes' - You should have seen his face when it started, he was grinning and ready to freak out when all of a sudden the guitars kicked in and he walked off in a huff - Ha Ha classic!

[BeerFunk]

I think I'm going to have to insist on 'Mika - Big Girls', and 'Love Today' as I don't think anyone has mentioned it!

The guy can do now wrong, it would seem, a pop sensation! :thumbs_up: :D

Never played either.

I have the album mind you.

:eek: Seriously?! :eek:

That is odd, the guy is a bit of a legend with the ladies around my parts, they absolutely love him! Is it a regional thing? :confused:

[Corabar Steve]

Big girls doesn't seem to go down as well.

Love today on the other hand.

Possibly.

Having said that, Grace Kelly didn't go down that well.

I suppose it depends on your audience to a certain degree.

[Corabar Steve]

Now I've always had a good reaction with that one.

Anyway, back on topic.:)

[Corabar Steve]

I thought I was on topic, it's a recent tune that I would say is a must have.

Can't think of anything more recent though

[colinm345]

How about Dont Mess With My Man by Bootie Luv:)

[Corabar Steve]

Yep!

[BeerFunk]

Where did that come from then? Is it out yet? :confused:

I'm assuming it's a cover of the Lucy Pearl track? (which already has house remixes, so they're not doing anything new here - shock horror)

[Corabar Steve]

Don't think it's actually out yet, but it should be on the list for sure.

[BeerFunk]

It would also explain why the Mood II Swing mix of the Lucy Pearl version is on the recently released '101 Club Anthems' compilation - they obviously knew it was coming!

[PropellerHeadCase]

Just curious how many people realised that Bootyluv's 'Boogie 2night' was basically a remix, and an extremely good one at that, of a Tweet song?

Probably 0-5%. To be honest, most pop music is served like dog food - usually the dog will eat it no matter what.

[PropellerHeadCase]

Well, if that were true it wouldn't matter what you played at a disco everyone's tail would be wagging, regardless ;)

[Impactdisco]

I personally felt that Tweet's version was far better

Spot on Steve:)
Its a promo I got from The Ministry Of Sound:)

[Corabar Steve]

Thought so somehow.

[PropellerHeadCase]

Really? It seemed strange to have a song about boogying at such a low BPM, to me. I like her vocal, but I like the Bootyluv tempo.

[Danno13]

I presume he means the Seamus Haji Mix of Tweet.. which was around a couple of years ago, and far superior to the Bootyluv version.

Their second single "Shine" was also another remix of a remix, as the original track was remixed by the Freemasons just a few months before, and kept the original vocal.
