...music in my crate. Doing a huge pride party at a reputable spot in the heart of the west village on Sunday after the parade. I'm a bit nervous that I don't have enough gay anthems. I don't want to be dropping YMCA, i feel like that's some older generation ish. Who's outta the closet enough to help me with some selections? I'm thinkin soulful disco/house type tracks. Whatchoo all think? Hatters and bashers be warned, the ghost of transexuals past will haunt your wet dreams if you try to fuck with my thread.

ever google?
more house joints would be good. trax music. electro. I'm trying to dig up one of those house music threads from a while back...
well, happy to say I'm
Erasure
Elton John
etc etc etc
Good one. You probably can't go wrong with "I Feel Love," either. Maybe some of that Scissor Sisters stuff from a couple years back?
That was my first thought.
Then any 80s new wave hits:
Human League - Don't you want me
Waitresses - I know what boys like
Duran Duran - Girls on Film
and pointman, I will definitely be dropping some funk & soul into the mix as well. I just want to have my bases covered since it's a 7 hour set
Free Man
Um, that was me, actually.
I've played a number of gay parties, but for the most part, they've been parties for gay folks who wanna hear "mainstream rap" etc. in a gay-friendly environment.
My wife and I were recently booked for just such a party in Oakland where they want all reggae and dancehall. We'll see how that goes.
You're in it? Or did you just dj a party of theirs? Big difference, I would think.
Umm...more fiya.
Fonda Rae - Over Like A Fat Rat
some Evelyn King
Soho
Jack The Groove
etc
I was DDC's DJ for a number of years. Haven't done anything with them in a while, though, mainly because they're not that active.
Should be easy enough. I never play those songs anyway.
1) what's taboo?
2) enlighten us
Heartbeat /Don't Make Me Wait /Let's Go Dancin' / Is It All Over My Face /When You Touch Me /etc...
It went over really well- this "community" knows music. So I wouldn't go down the "erasure/pet shop boys" route necessarily.... A little too obvious.
Damn, dude...more power to you I suppose, but...more fiya!!!
That is funny. Also funny that noone mentioned tiga yet. Or is it also too obvious?
I'm going to go out here on a limb and assume you probably won't be playing "Boom Bye Bye"...
