if I could (which I can, because this is my (and chloe's) blog), I would just like to say that there is no one that rivals me at making rave playlists, save for deadmau5. like, the capacity my brain has for understanding how much fun a song can be when you throw in 22 sweaty bodies and a strobe is unlimited. there are some easy cheats. anything dj rusko or kid sister (or, OMG BOTH [aka the rusko remix of pro nails]) has breathed on will probs be fucking fantastic, same goes for any type of mash-up. you wanna have a nice mix of elecroshit and superheavy-but-not-slow southern rap, familiar pop jamz, and remixes/refixes/reedits of oldies set for the dancefloor.
I am currently prepping for a rave that will most likely take place on the 28th. some goodies/spoilers:
-abc by jackson 5 (immunikization blend)
-WTF by tittsworth, kid sis, & pase rock (nadastorm on drugs remix)
-lil wayne v. sleigh bells (OMG CAN YOU FUCKING IMAGINE?!?!)
-trigga trey (for those slower ravvvin jamz type of people.)
-hood internet mixtapes 1-4 (umfuckyeah)
-I'm toying with the idea of take on me by a-ha or young turks by rod stewart, but I'm not sure of the reaction this 80's crystal gems will warrant. thoughts?
-100% 4SURE: (THIS IS IT) THE DREAM OF EVAN & CHAN by DNTEL feat. BEN GIBBARD
-then the basics (kanye remixes, diplo's fucking weird blog songs, dan deacon if the company can handle it, paper route gangstaz duhhhhhh, discovery (aka va va vampire riot), shake it to the ground (a staple in ANY dance-type situation), hot chip, and of course, party & bullshit in the USA.)
any tips? tricks? treats?
