So, I haven't done one of these in a while and am looking forward to the mixed crowd of partyers and record geeks crammed into a small SF livingroom somwhere on the Haight...I consider myself someone who falls into both categories...@ any rate...would love some heater suggestions to get shit going and maintaining for my 3-5 hour set. I got the serato dildo so Mp3 links would be appreciated...titles too...I got a GOOD idea of what to do, but I'm lookin for that secret shit that you only tell strutters on the internet in your best sexy digitized internet voice...all genres welcome...

how about lionel richie all night long to get you started!
(knowing soulstrut I will get critized for saying this before I actually get a suggestion...)
come on homies...
michael jack
prince
laid back "white horse"
le tigre "decepticon (dfa remix)"
no rap music unless it's "ironic"
or maybe that's just my crowds.
is this spanglish for 'holloway', like loleatta?
regardless, if you've got the boogie/disco thing going on, drop 'love sensation' (shep pettibone mix) - people love that shit, 'specially when it gets to the markie mark sample
oh, and bettie davis eyes.
warm ups:
nu shooz- i can't wait
strafe- set it off
bb&q band- dreamer
puttin a mellow beat in yo stepp:
edwin birdsong- rapper dapper snapper
grace jones- pull up to the bumper
soul II soul- back 2 life
toto- georgy porgy
jade- don't walk away (!?!!)
partay time (nostalgia is calling):
throw in a lisa lisa song here or there
connie- funky little beat
class action- weekend
mac dre- dredio
royal ca$h- radio activity
ronnie hudson- west coast poplock
obvious essentials:
jb
run dmc- peter piper
sugarhill gang, etc
genius of love, blah blah blah
egyptian lover (just in case)
mary j. blige- real love (hip hop mix)
on the my boo tip:
diplo-rhythm
aaliyah- one in a million (wolf d's big bass mix)
debbie deb, freestyle hits, miami bass
dynamix II- just give the dj a break
if i was at this party i would want to hear:
x-visitors- the planet doesn't mind
mongo santamaria- we got latin soul
loose joints- is it all over my face
saying goodbye:
wings- goodnight tonight (again, hittin' that nostalgic, cheesy, anything goes vibe)
ok...none of these really make any sense together. i'm sleepy and random access memory at this time to the brain is pretty unreliable but these are just a few songs i dig/fun stuff/easy/accessible
I don't leave the house w/o this record.
