Let's See Your Song Sets.....

[HiDefDJ]

First off, let me say that we need more posts like this. Everyone here would like to see USEFUL posts that EVERYONE can use. Let's try to make this thread work. Eventually when we have a nice listing of sets I'll create a separate thread that only contains the sets for easy reference.

Give a list of your favorite 3 song set to play. Do you play them start to finish or are you mixing during the song. If so, where and how?

 

[Dan The Man]

1) Sweet Home Alabama
2) Have a drink on me
3) Pour some sugar on me
4) Bawitdaba - Kid rock

*Mix into crazy rock set. Normally after kid rock, I've been jumping into Crazy B*tch - Buckcherry.

There are a lot of jumps between generations there but the crowd goes NUTS!

 

[DJ Koz]

Old Time Rock & Roll (125 bpm) (play faster than usual) -> Brown Eyed Girl (148 bpm) (need key) -> Love Shack (134 bpm) -> You Shook Me All Night Long (127 bpm) -> Mony Mony (135 bpm) -> Living On A Prayer

I switch it around sometimes.

 

[Steve LeBlanc]

My girl power set (I played this at my last reception,,If you talk it up, it works)

I will Survive - Gloria Gaynor

Before He Cheats - Carrie Underwood

4) Ba ditty wa wa - Kid rock

*Mix into crazy rock set. Normally after kid rock, I've been jumping into Crazy B*tch - Wild Cherry.

Just for clarity, you meant 'Buckcherry' and not Wild Cherry correct? (play that funky music Deejay Dan!)

You are 100% correct. I regularly screw up the name of the old and new artists!

Come on guys, let's see your favorite song sets. We want this board to be a place of knowledge, not just a cool place to hang out and talk.

Ain't Too Proud To Beg-Temptations
Respect-Aretha Franklin
Do You Love Me-Contours

I know Respect is faster than Do You Love Me, but I've found that it just works better in this lineup.



I Love Rock & Roll-Joan Jett
Pour Some Sugar On Me-Def Leppard
You Shook Me All Night Long-AC/DC
Livin' On A Prayer-Bon Jovi

This one is my favorite set. Once again ILR&R is faster than PSSOM, but it seems to work better in this case. This set packs the floor for me 99% of the time.



Save A Horse-Big & Rich
Boot Scootin' Boogie-Brooks & Dunn
Cotton Eyed Joe-Rednex

This set works really well also. If I want to switch from a rock set into this one, I'll play Sweet Home Alabama as the transition song.

Reggae Works

Try this if your crowd digs Reggae:

Start with MURDER SHE WROTE, by Chaka Demus & Pliers--people know this song and dance every time;

Go into AH WHO SEH ME DUN, by Cutty Ranks--it's the same riddim, so people will keep dancing and, by time they realise that it's a different song they already know it's cool.

Then hit them with YA DUN NO (not the Remix), by the LEGENDARY Burro Banton. It is such an awesome song that nobody knows until I play it and EVERYBODY loves it.

Do you play the edited version of Crazy B*tch or go for the original? THis is one of my favorite songs but I always feel uncomfortable playing it unless it is just the right crowd. Just wondering?

Always unedited. I work in a bar so everyone is over 21, it really doesn't matter. I suspect at teen gigs, they would just scream out the real words anyhow.
