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

I don't like Techno. I'm ok with some Trance. Sometimes.

Spin to Metal! Or Tribal like Dead Can Dance. But nothing is better than drums ... when the drummers are good lol.

Some Metal's great to spin to, while a lot of it isn't.
I love Apocalyptica and Nightwish for fire, they're both great
Ambient Techno is great for non-fire routines, apparently

Hey guys! Thought I'd throw me 2p in while I'm here!

On the whole I like to spin to pretty much anything that falls under IDM, Glitch, New Age etc. But lately I've been playing around with spinning to more Classical music. So the other day I had a spin whilst listening to Ludovico Einaudi and I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Good artists for me are thirty seconds to mars, taking back sunday, anberlin, and panic at the disco

Specific songs: "From Yesterday" (30 seconds to mars), "Paperthin hymn" (Anberlin) "I caught fire" (The used) "It's all the same" (Sick puppies)

... even if you don't like the music it's a pretty rad thing to support......

It depends where I'm twirling. If I am aranged to spin at a party I normally ask the person who hired me what kind of music they like, and then i look if that's ok for spinning.

Otherwise it depends on the kind of toys I'm using.
Light/flowpoi -> tecno, rave,tectonic
car fuel/ gassoline on firepoi -> short big flames -> ( quite fast) metal&rock -> Mötörhead, Billy Talent
Disel on firepoi-> orange, longer lasting flame -> "softer music" -> Red Hot Chili Peppers, Bob marley,
Fire Breathing -> epic, monumental music -> In Extremo (herr Mannelig), Turisas (to Holmgard)

Nice In Extremo
LED or practice -> Basshunter
Fire (have not lit yet) -> probably nothing, Basshunter, or tribal sounding music
Fire Breathing -> None, just let the fire speak for itself

I love to spin to Basshunter too

I also like to spin to video game music, Tetris, and lots of techno.

Music that makes you feel like getting up and dancing is what I like to dance poi to.

Here're some good mid-tempo songs that get me dancin' like a fool:

"Kyoteizinc" by Omodaka (Chiptune meets Enka)
"Inertia Creeps" by Massive Attack (Dark downtempo/triphop/goa vibe)
"Feels Just Like It Should" by Jamiroquai (Can't help but dance to this one)
"Divine Moments of Truth" by Shpongle (It was mentioned here before, but it definitely bears repeating).

I've really been getting into Gogol Bordello. They are pure win! If you listen to this music and aren't filled with the urge to grab a partner, jump on the nearest table and dance away then you are a cold heartless person on the inside!

They have so much heart and soul, you can feel it in every song. Whenever I've got my iPod on and I'm listening to these guys while spinning, it's hard to stop! Gypsy punk FTW!

Well, mine is a little outdated.

the 3 i like at the moment

Chris Berry and Panjea, Pert Near Sandstone, Citizen Cope, any good jazz.

Ooh and Infected Mushroom

i like RnB, hip hop and at times i like rock songs.. I enjoy good songs.. not something which makes you feel uncomfortable. In that case different people will have different tastes...

All goa and psy music is good for spinning!
Also I'm a huge fan of the Prodigy for poi spinning even if I know it's a bit obvious!
I can also spin great on Irish drinking songs like Whiskey in the Jar!

my favorite at the moment are (iacchus, dissasociation) (psydraulix, dark micks) which is 80 minutes long and i would really like to spin to rage against the machine

I've just got into Infected Mushroom and I find psytrance is amazing to spin to. More Astrix I do need because I am in love with them now

Yeah, Infected Mushroom is great (just in general), my current favorite is "Illuminaughty" from the Converting Vegetarians album (their best album IMO).

My current favorite is Cities of the Future Beyond the Senses by Astrix is still awesome beyond belief and I can't get enough of that song and neither can my mom

Nice.

new fav to spin to shankara by the hilight tribe awesome beats and as a added plus tribal techno!!!!

Amazingly, and totally against everything I stand for, Trance is one of my favourite things to spin to, especially anything by the Artist ASTRIX.

However there is one song to which i think i do my best spinning, I dont know what it is about it, whether its the general make up of the song or the fact I associate it with Playpoi or what, but Delhi 2 Dublin - Nightstep is a phenominal peice of music to spin to, i recomend everyone check it out

yeah the artist i said in the post above yours is one of the songs they use on playpoi videos

When I flow, it's usually to my boyfriend's Djembe playing. When that isn't available, it's The XX, (surprisingly enough...) Eiffel 65's first album. (the one with "blue"... just not that song..) The Werks, Papadosio, and of course, and most often, anything DUBSTEP.

Im loving dubstep at the moment but find it a bit slow 4 a spin enless its realy loud in which case its fine. I prefer techno tho, just recently got

sven vath - compilation j - cocoon recordings.

Its fab after the first few tracks.

I'm finding now it depends on how I'm feeling, how can it get more complicated choosing music? x) My music is now not consistent with any genre what so ever. Except that it's not rap and not dubstep.

Actually I seemed to have found a good consistency with Scooter x) By the way. How much is the fish?

def psytrance cause i can connect with it but lately i have been spinning to the black keys-tighten up and apc cause i can get so into it its like i light my poi then before i know it they r finished burnning

was spinning to some weird semi-tribal irish gaelic vocal music (I have no idea what it was but that's the best description I can come up with) and it was surprisingly cool. if I had more room and hadn't been spinning for family I might have been able to really dig into that and pull a character out.

also have fallen in love with spinning to Massive Attack lately. so much of their stuff sits right there at the perfect tempo for flowing.

With the recent festivals here in Seattle, I've discovered I enjoy spinning to bluegrass, soul, and salsa. I think I'll still take glitch hop and dubstep as my defaults, though.
