When I mean 30something creative professionals, I mean early 30's Brooklyn/Bay Area residents who still go out (but not really), have well paying jobs in TV, music and the internets and pride themselves in knowing what's up.
in other words GRUPS.
Can my fellow strutters help me out with a tracklist that has some jams from the 70's, 80's, 90's and today?
Looking for indie, hip hop and classic jams - but no wedding standards.
Thanks!

Don't tell us you can't come up w/ some ideas yourself....
(mix some non-obvious classics from the eighties and nineties with some crowd favorites from the last few years, add a twist of your own personality and bob's yer uncle)
exactly- i think i need help with crowd favorites from the last few years... for this crowd.
Looking for some hipster bangers like these:
MGMT- Electric Feel
Peter, Bjorn and John- Young Folks
MIA- Paper Planes
justice/simain - we are your friends
any help is appreciated - thanks!
Justice - D.A.N.C.E.

and mix it up by playing Controller 7's Peter, Bjorn and John/Temptations mashup Get Ready fro the Young Folks
