Music to spin to, Tell us your favourite music to dance to

OK – need to make an amendment to that…

Grove Armada “Hands of Time” (#8)… follow that up with the tenth track, “Easy”

Hits the spot nice

And I am gonna guess track 3, Ramblin’ Man – Lemon Jelly. But they don’t have any info on the jacket. Just mysterious like that, I guess.

Yep! Track 3. I just turned it on… excuse me if you will - going off to spin, again!

I love Fridays! Hee hee hee…

For future reference, please do two things....

1. This belongs in the help or technical section. Even I am not too sure on that one right now (tired...sorry). I am moving it to help, since that is what you are asking for. Next time, please post it in the appropriate place.

2. There is a search function at the top of the page under the post reply/new topic buttons. Use it. If you were to enter in this very topic it would have yielded about 30 or more threads on this very topic, some of this very name. Please feel free to post in old threads to bring them back to the surface where everyone can add to them as well as learn from some of the older cats who are no longer on here.

Normally I would close this thread, I am still contemplating it, but since it is covering a couple topics (the whole mp3 tech stuff), I will leave it open.

*this has been a recording of moderator Pele: she is not currently available as her mind went on break somewhere around 4pm this afternoon. Please leave a message and her mind will get back to you as soon as it can. Thank you*

Hey,

I like to spin to Groove Armada - Super Stylin' (does have a slow intro though)

Well thats my $300 worth.

Joy

Oops, sorry for reposting old threads! I was gonna search back through the threads anyway but hey, it's good to talk. We could all search for whatever we needed on the net and never have to interact with anyone right?

i couldnt decide between these lot ....

Shy fx - original nutta
Klubheads-let the party begin
Urban Shakedown- Some Justice
Underworld- Born Slippy
Underground Resistance- The Seawolf
The Terroist- The Chopper ( might only be good if you've just dropped, so maybe not that one still a top tune though)
Storm- Time to burn (techno remix)
Sneaker Pimps- Spin Spin Sugar (remix)
Roni Size & Olive- You're not alone
Prodigy- Firestarter
There is a killer remix of Presidents of the United states - Peaches (kinda acid techno meets Nicky Blackmarket in a dark alley on a cold night with a bit of cheap tack pop thrown in )
Kosheen- Slip and Slide (suicide)
Josh Wink -higher state of consciousness (one of the many remix's)
Dj Zinc- 6 million ways to die

Some good ones I enjoy:

AYLA - Ayla Part I, Ayla Part 2
ATB & York - Fields of Love (Darude vs JS16 mix)
Joga - Dam Dariram (This is a japanese DDR song)
Gouryella - Tenshi
Darude f/ Tammy Marie - Out of Control
Dj Sammy - Boys of Summer

May be a bit techno for ya but is what I dig on and they go GREAT with spinning.

Techno eh?

I don't think so Dio. Techno is a particular genre, not the umbrella term for electronic, or rather dance music. The tunes you mention fit better into the trance or commercial house genre, not techno.

just my 2c

this will get u rockin

'Bodyrock' by Moby

I never use fire on recorded music and always prefer djembes but here are some of the music I practice with at home:

- Greg Ellis - Kala Rupa album (all of it)
- Susan Deyhim (Fabulous Persian Rithyms)
- Mercan Dede
- Michael Brooks (He usually plays with local musicians like Nusret Fateh and all albums are good for swinging)
- some Dead Can Dance
- Air, Sphongle and Groove Armada
- Paul Oakenfold
- Kruder & Dorfmeister
- and Talvin Singh

you might not know of it or be able to get your hands not it but hows about a bit of "Le Peuple De L'Herbe" album-"P.H. TEST/TWO" track 3.
Prodigy, like practically everyone has said uummmmm shit! i dont know what the album is called or the songs, uhhhh right if i ever manage to get my memory back ill post it!

i wear my sunglasses at night, so i can so i can, watch you watching me!

Tchou!

just got some cheze anthem trance on this comp called 'Glo Stix', good stuff ta spin to


CRW "I feel love"(DJ Jamx and De Leon Remix)

Mario Piu & Mauro Picotto "Arabian Pleasure" (Ghibli mix)

Xavier Jacome "Comiensen A Vivir"

U could try VNV Nation theyre very good, darkwave/trancey is the best way to describe them, some tracks are slow but there are faster ones especially Electronaut and Epicentre.
Hypertrax and Shamanic Tribes on acid are also quite bouncy too!!

I'm really suprized it hasn't been said already...
have you people forgot your roots?!?!

DJ Tiesto - Urban Train : Best trance song I have heard yet.

Since you are looking for harder, darker stuff, have you heard of Omar Santana? It's fast though (170-210 BPM) so you might get a good workout after 3-4 songs As for some other stuff, if you're a fan of Linkin Park, on their new album (Meteora) there is a song called "Faint". Good change in genre for a spinning song, methinks. I think it's track 7. That's my 36 cents

The "Mitusbishi Song" by Dirty Vegas is my favorite to spin to...

Probably corny, but it does have a nice beat!

Peace,

Arcane

Look! I revived the oldest music thread I could find, just so as not to annoy people too much!

Basically, I'm looking for some music a bit like a single track I've heard.. a tall order maybe, but I know nothing about electronic music.

I have the track "Saltwater" by Chicane on a compilation and it's absolutely spellbinding.. and great to spin to! If anyone could reccomend similar stuff to me or even a genre I'd be very much obliged!

Thanks a lot

You're right dude, I just listened to Saltwater and it is awsome, and I can totally see myself spinning poi to it.

Cheers man, you just opened me up to totally new kind of music!

Glad to be of service! I'm totally Rockist, in that I never really expand my horizons outside of guitar music... but that track's so beautiful I couldn't help but love it

ska ska ska ska and regge :]

spinning to ska? if you say so, dude. personally, i like any industrial or electronica to spin to. "sound of machines" by black and jones is a really good techno song, i love it

Did I suggest saltwater in another post? Dibs on the glory for that one... j/k

okay, fine, i stand corrected

Wow i was a lot more eager back then

White Zombie - Devil Man
Nightwish - Over The Hills And Far Away (best song ever to twirl to)
Nightwish - Wish I had an Angel


I like to twirl to the metal like stuff, but not roaring death metal...Melodic metal with good beats.

I did a show (only lights and flags, it was indoors) this past Saturday night, and used:

+ Terra Firma (Lara's Mix) - Delerium (from the Tomb Raider soundtrack)
+ Storm - Vanessa Mae
+ Schrei nach Liebe - Die Ärzte

The first one is really slow and trance-like. (Spun beamers because they're heavier and can be spun slower with more stalls) The second starts out very slow and quiet, then gets really loud and really fast... and the speed changes through out the song, slow, then fast. (spun flags because when spun fast they look like fire, and make noise like it a bit, and can also be spun slowly, with less stalls than beamers). The third... well, it was an encore, so they just played the next song on my CD, and it's a good german rock band. (Also flags again, just because they spin faster, without me fearing for my life).

In anycase, the first two songs are really good to spin too. People came and asked me if the music was made for my spinning!! (especially since I only had 3 or 4 things I had to do, the rest was just improv... spinning because I can )

i find that the best thing to spin to is sum stoners with bongos or african drums.sumthing like that.

dj scott brown is good music... great to spin to! (rave-ish music)

Check out Cuban and Latin Jazz. Heaps of rhythmic instruments, variety of feels (4/4, 6/8, 12/8, bembe etc.) for each spinning taste.

Other tasties are good solid big band or trio jazz of the Oscar Peterson design - really solid, easy groove, and if you're listening to a band with a halfway decent rhythm section, no confusion as to where the beat is.

If you're looking for something really whacked out to practice weird things to, check out guys like Dave Brubeck (album: 'Time Out'), most modern guys (particularly Dave Holland, Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, Jeff Tain Watts etc.) who play with some really weird time signatures. If you ever want to practice something insane like 9-beat to 7-beat weave transitions (don't worry, I wouldn't be able to do it in a million years, I'm not being pretentious), Bela Fleck's the only person I know to have recorded a song with half the band in 9/4 and the other half in 7/4 (you just have to listen to different sections of the band).

Interesting ways to approach music.

I don't really actually like spinning to rave/trance music - it's got a good beat to it but I find it too mechanical, no give in the rhythm (unlike real, live recordings) to play with. And not enough variety in fills, stops, changes etc. to supplement poi. Does look cool though if you can find one with plenty of variety.

Oh, you know what else looks impressive to spin to? 'Fortuna Imperiatrix Mundi' by Carl Orff (from 'Carmina Burana'), very visceral, Swedish bezerker-style music. Sveet.
