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

How much fun was 2UberOz I had such a ball and met so many super awesome people, yourself included did you check out the pictures? There are a few great shots of you…

Unfortunately none plays the djembe that comes to our weekly twirling session in Glebe.. I’ve tried but I’m not really up to playing in pubic standards

Tekno
That's my favorite type of music to spin to..

When I go to confluence it's usually a bunch or random percussionists with an occaisional flute or violin or something, so I'm used to performing to tribal type stuff. However, I prefer to write and practice to more techno and house type stuff. For that I have been adoring the new Blaqk Audio album clled "CexCells." It's like earlier Depeche Mode but darker, sexier, and with the benefits of modern synthesizers.

Since my personal style is heavily ballet influenced, I like to use ballet pieces obviously, but I also work with a lot of emo since it's pretty good story music...even if the story is all the same. For that one of the most fun things I've ever practiced to is "Do You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison" by My Chemical Romance.

Oh yeah...and anything by Scissor Sisters is fabby spinning sounds.

Recently -- almost anything by The Faint or The Bravery. Top stuff to spin to!

Ive been listening to a lot of Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros, many of the songs just flow very well and translate into my spinning.

currently a perfect circle - the noose. or anything which is playing with my heart strings

Boards of Canada, Amon Tobin and Planxty are all fantastic in my humble opinion.

Boards of Canada is brilliant to spin to... Especially 'Music Is Math' and 'Julie & Candy'

i looove music is math. as well as gyroscope and track 6 off that album

I like to spin while listening to VNV Nation, Pink Floyd, Nightwish, Miranda Sex Garden, Milithor, Thee-O, a few songs from Shiny Toy Guns, DJ Bruce, Yoji Biomehanika and many others..

Here in the past week, I've been trying to run some choreography to 'Tarantula' by Pendulum; it's such an amaaaaazin' song for it!
I actually just made a new 'spinning album' yesterday and I'm rather in love with it. It's just a list of my favourite songs to spin to. Have a looky and feel free to give them a go. I shall try to put some videos soon! xD

i find spinning music to cascada is lots of fun!
try spinning to "everytime we touch".

atm - Ed Solo & Skool of Thought: Random acts of kindness (album) but in particular 'Sludge' (Track)

Slow chunky beat and massive wobbling bass, right up my street

my recently burned spin mix:

Beck - Devil's Haircut
Bush - Mouth
Cake - The Distance
Deftones - My Own Summer (Shove It)
Disturbed - Down With The Sickness
George Clinton - Bop Gun
John Butler Trio - Pickapart
Marilyn Manson - Beautiful People
Moby - Find My Baby
Morphine - Buena
Offspring - Come Out and Play
Placebo - Pure Morning
Portishead - Numb
Regurgitator - Happiness
Rob Zombie - Dragula (Hot Rod Herman Remix)
Sly and the Family Stone - Play That Funky Music Whiteboy
Ween - Voodoo Lady
Beethoven - Moonlight Sonata


most of them allow me to spin at much the same tempo, which is, I suspect somewhat slower than most, cos my brain just doesn't work all that quickly.

my absolutely fav, so far, was definitely the beethoven. began spinning to it, out on the back patio one night, quite by accident. it was playing, I was spinning and it kinda put me into a bit of a trance; lotsa fun.

I prefer Celtic/folk/pagan music to trance and alike. It has way more melodie and it's often very varied. Omnia is a great band especially the songs 'teutates' and 'taranis' are fabulous.

I also like riverdance music, rock and metal.
Normally I don't use complete songs, but mix them so I can make the music exactly to my liking.

I've been really enjoying spinning to dubstep recently.

some of the rap/reggae stuff has been kinda cool too, like Damian Marley's
Welcome to Jamrock album for instance

I like loads of stuff by artists such as:

LCD Soundsystem
Cascada
Chicane
Bassnectar
The Crystal Method
Crazy Town
Scooter
The Prodigy
Pendulum

and many others.

Some I just rock out and spin. It mainly depends on my mood.

Hello All.

Sorry to drag this up again, I've searched the music threads.
A while ago we were talking about music and how to find non-copyrighted music for videos and performances. Someone linked to a few sites of pure gold original music that was "free" if you give credit etc.

And I've lost the link after DLing some of their stuff...
So if you know where this was posted or can shove me in the right direction, would appreciate it!!

Thanks

I'm a big fan of dancing/ flinging to stuff by Jesse Cook, my favorite is That's Right. But i will also say, if i'm just at home flingin' around for the fun of it, trying not to whack myself in the head, my top choice for music is always bluegrass, throw on some YMSB, Old Crow Medicine Show and The Infamous Stringdusters!

An amazing song i found to spin to is shiva space technology - egokiller

the beat is amazing and gives you a real buzz!

i like to spin fire to: cascada, dj tiesto, dieselboy...anything with a big background beat

I don't care what anyone thinks....

The best music to spin to is ...

INNERPARTYSYSTEM.... no joke, everyone should atleast listen to them.... some good songs are: Die Tonight_Live Forever, Last Night in Brooklyn, New Poetry, Obsession. ^_^

If you like it let me know !

Wasn't really sure where to put this but there's a rather good single for download at http://www.sundaydriver.co.uk/

Kaskade 4AM Soha remix anyone? :]

My current poi/staff dancing favorites are Deepest Blue by Karsh Kale, Mulberry Harbor by Trebbiano and Carte Blanche by Veracocha. My friend & I recently did a staff performance to Galaxy Bounce by the Chemical Bros. Fun! I love Crystal Method for spinning as well.
