(please only list tracks that are proven to actually work in a mobile disco situation & not just because they are of a certain genre. Also must be suitable for all ages)

Thought I'd add to this section as I did a wedding the other week where the groom wanted an early 80's/new romantic mini-set - So I did the following songs, they were all mixed so the BPM runs from around 113/5 up to 142/44. This little min-mix went down a storm on the night and I then used it for a different event, same result :D

1. Visage - Fade To Grey
2. Blancmange - Living on The Ceiling
3. ABC - Poison Arrow
4. Yazoo - Don't Go
5a. Depeche Mode - Just Can't Get Enough (single version)
into
5b. Depeche Mode - Just Can't Get Enough (Live 101 version) at the start of the secong synth riff
6. Duran Duran - Girls On Film
7. Duran Duran - Planet Earth
8. Japan - Quiet Life
9. Haircut 100 - Love Plus 1
10. OMD - Enola Gay
11. Spandau Ballet - To Cut A Long Story Short (I used 'Gold' the second time (not new romantic) but a better song, same BPM more or less, and a better mix into soft cell IMO)
12. Soft Cell - Tained Love
