you're going to a 90s night at the clurb

“James Brown Is Still Alive” - Holy Noise

I mean my real answer is this and always will be but it seems to be such a specific time capsule it might be /too/ nineties

Personally I am not a fan but I have noticed lately that crowds lap up the tribal house remixes of Spice Girls that were b-sides at the time

valuable info, salute

"big time sensuality" is a must as is "finally", "rhythm of the night" and "show me love"

would be fitting if map played utah saints ;)

“What Can Yo Do For Me” > “Something Good” though

lol, noted. amy grant will be played, as will the jets.

maybe not the jets, that's the 80s

I love The Jets but all their big songs are from the 80s

Haha lol

I got 5 on it

Baby Got Back tbh

i'm looking forward to and counting on djp's contributions to the 'goth night at the club' version of this thread i'll be starting in a week or two :)

a slam dunk when the floor is packed and everyone is at least two drinks in

Klf, utah saints, bizarre Inc

i have totally played these tracks in the 21st century when deejaying at bars. i love these guys. my kinda grindin' newbeat 90s.

those original versions are the best ones too. there are remixes, etc. i feel like ilm would be the best audience for any dj set i did but you guys are never around and i am kinda retired. there is a basement bar at the bottom of the local live venue here though and i have been considering a cool 80s night with lots of freestyle...

“More Human Than Human” White Zombie

Not sure if you want songs that the crowd will know from the recent songs they influenced ("Show Me Love" and "Whores in This House") or if those are too familiar.

oh man good call

Rozalla - Everybody’s Free (To Feel Good)
Chubb Rock - Treat ‘em Right

Also, 1991: the last great year of freestyle

Corina - Temptation
Lisette Melendez - Together Forever
Cover Girls - Funk Boutique

and

Cathy Dennis - Touch Me (All Night Long)

definitely

C’mon n’ Ride It (the Train) - Quad City DJs

This one was maybe my favorite party jam. I remember going to an apartment complex party at IU during little 5 and these omega psi guys took out the screens on a second floor apartment and had bins in the window playing out on the courtyard. They put this on and this party went nuts.

you oughta know - alanis

production on that one has aged very well imo

"Are You Gonna Go My Way?" sounds great these days as well, as far as pop hits.

i have an awesome alanis/trance white label bootleg single from the 90s and now i can't think of what song they use. its not uninvited. shit. i'll have to dig it out. its better than a lot of official remixes i've heard of hers.

!

Did we get this far already without mentioning FSOL “Papua New Guinea”

also for when you need a bathroom break during dj set:

i'd play all the underworld but sadly i think it's gonna be a snooze for my crowd. i might be able to get away with born slippy nuxx. the other one i thought about was king of snake. or rez / cowgirl...

speaking of FSOL - their remix of Stereo MC’s Connected very much slaps imo

update: no one really wanted to hear 90s music last night so i defaulted to my "gay club hits" set (think charli/chappell, rihanna, kesha, gaga, minaj, etc.). i did execute my dumb idea of playing "the rain (supa dupa fly)" after gaga's "rain on me" and basically cleared the floor. the only 90s song that really hit was "man i feel like a woman". it was a joy to play and sounded great. ending things with a lil kim track was also cool, i get so many nicki minaj requests there that she's in the club.

Or the clurb

i have an awesome alanis/trance white label bootleg single from the 90s

Hybrid remix of So Pure?

that might have been it. i really have to try and find it now. there is no info on it other than a title but my old age is showing. blanking on it.

i fucking adore "The Rain" but it's more a walking home tune than an in the clurb tune

the only 90s song that really hit was "man i feel like a woman"

Queer Gen Z line dancing is a big thing these days!

It’s a total jam

if you play this at the clurb make sure you play the video for maximum vibes

i definitely danced to this multiple times though i cannot attest to it being in any way “good”?

yeah

"please don't go" is great. makes me think of boyz II men.

most forgotten 5-week uk no. 1 of the last 40 years

KWS were from my home town, but I still can’t stand Please Don’t Go… even if it was one of the better tracks on their godawful album!

its not even a very good KC & The Sunshine Band song but somehow i have nostalgia for it idk idk

This one always gets great crowd response, I attribute this to a) everyone knows the hook and b) it has the Show Me Love Korg M1 lead.

Oh this is great, totally gonna use it!

Only thing I don't like as a DJ is that it has scratching and a big backspin, so what do you do - lean into it and fake it, or demonstratively not do anything during those bits?

outrageous racism to not nominate Boxcar's Insect

from 1989?
