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

Has anyone ever thought of making a "poiers" music album? A collection of music that's GREAT to poi to? What music would you put on it?

My favourite music..
I'll start it off with 'Bony Incus (the man with no name mix)', by Eat Static. What music would other people put on it?
Happy (rythmical) Swinging,

Techno!
Lab4 preferably.
With music this fast you can proper have it if you've got lots of energy/drugs or if your tired you can move to every second beat coz it's so fast. Hard drum and bass is also good but you can't really poi in d&b clubs because everyone thows themselves all over the place on the dance floor.

I was listening to the Crystal Method just today. I like fairly aggressive mixes like that. "Trip Like I Do", wigs out in a couple of spots, and would be great if you could sustain a routine through the whole length of the song.

"Firestarter" by Prodigy is a slightly cheezy but obvious choice. There is at least one good remix of this song out there.

I'd also add something by Loreena McKennitt or someone like that. I've got Celtic blood, and I really think the hypnotic, slower side of spinning can be beautiful if explored. This music helps it become a graceful dance.

Funny you should mention this, I am putting one together now or I should say, I am beginning to start the process of. I didn't want to say anthing, until, I got it finished, and artist's permission. Alot of is going to be original compositions, with some remixes (done by me ) , and some old favorites. Any contributions would be great. Just e-mail me at ryanee@hotmail.com. It will be a few months yet, but I think it will come together. This was going to be a little project, for a few people on here, but if there's enough interest, I'll hurry up and do it! As a side note, I'm working on the cheesiest. A remix/remake of "Ring of Fire" by the man in black himself.

live drumming

it kicks much ass.

I have about 4 cd's...all for different moods. MP3 Sites and a cd burner are really a performers best friend!!!!!

I heard that!

music to spin to: run lola run soundtrack, track 7. great beats, follow the heart. otherwise there are bands like covenant, leather strip, klute, ministry etc.

did some-one say Crystal Meth-OD?
yeeehaa!

oh yah jah-mon, and we lucky enough to live wid a rasta. 'e know da beat mon.

busking with them is cool.

o-o

i'd have to be trance music for me i am afraid - although some Enigma songs are good to swing to too, they are good for 'free-style' swinging, not going with the rhythm but playing round it - i am really into music and find it really interesting to play with the rhythm, although i must admit that trance music really makes me wanna spin!
happy swinging,

Mmm, live drums and lots of them. My Dad had got a wicked Djembe and my mate Mark can play the drums.. he is bloody great, so we often borrow the Djembe and go for some poi sessions on the beach. We were becomming quite a pair over the summer, instead of me trying to follow his beat, he would try to drum to the beat i had, and then there would be these amazing few minutes where we linked and nothing else mattered.

The stone circle at Glasto is great for drummers, hundreds of them, really huge ones (drums that is), pounding a beat into the night. (but its been cancelled this yr! )

Other music that i love to poi to would have to be Astral Projection (goa trance) (esp, searching for ufo's and flying into a star), however, i can poi to loads of different music, it just depends where my mood takes me.

have fun and burn bright.

Astral Projection are cool. So are Astralasia. And Banco de Gaia. Also, so are the Afro celt sound system....check 'em out.

(But only if you want to!)

Happy swinging,

Talvin Singh--just about anything (also, the compilation album Anokha with his name on it, especially Flight IC 408, by State of Bengal). Good tempo changes and a suitably exotic sound.

I just spun in Baltimore, MD's New Year's Eve celebration, and the two tracks I used were Moby's "Machete" and White Zombie's "Blood Milk and Sky" Worked for me.

Timmy, Astralasia's a wicked choice, man! Do you know where I can get 'White Bird'? The cd web sites don't seem to have it.
Jo.

Drumming is wicked, very spiritual,blood milk and sky by white zombie is a good idea, I have never tried it before.another good song is Voodoo people by the Prodigy. If anyone has it then try spinning to it. its great.
peace out

FOr single songs I like Voodoo By Godsmack, Fuel by Metallica, Dragula by Rob Zombie, Break Stuff and Roolin by Limp Bizkit.
I like it hard!!!!!
Actually though it depends on my mood, sometimes I like that teenie bop Britnie Spears stuff to spin to, sometimes I like country rock and Enya, Enigma, Clannad........ Depends on how I feel.

For those who like drums Mickie Hart's Planet Drum cd/tape is amazing!!!!!!! He gathered some of the most reknowned drummers from around the world and went nuts! You'll love it!

So that's my less than two cents since I can never make up my mind!!!!

Forgot to say Crazy Town does a song called Butterfly...I do a routine with nothing but butterfly moves to this and EMF's Unbelievable is nice.

I forgot, Hell is round the corner by tricky and davidian by machine head is good for fire. feed the monket by infectious grooves is also good in general.

Jo, There's a shop in Cambridge called "Nomads", and they sell (among other things) a huge range of wierd and wonderful trancy-type music. I know that they've got 'Seven Pointed Star' by Astralasia, and I'm pretty sure they have 'White Bird' too!
Next time I'm down that way, I'll get their number or something for you

Happy swinging,

jeze.....haven't heard anyone mention astralasia in a while now they do some pretty cool stuff...........some of massive attacks stuff is great - unfinished sympathy...............and the band Why? (if you can keep up!)
