What are your favourite songs to dance to at bars/clubs?

[tiedye]

Looks like I scored a second job as a DJ at one of the local bars. Just gotta go in on Friday and meet the guy in person to know fo sho, but in the meantime I'm trying to figure out what top 40-ish stuff people actually like to dance to - I have to start keeping up with today's pop culture. He said it's cool if I throw in whatever I want as long as people can dance to it, so some killer breaks and funky house are in order. . but I have no idea what's popular these days.

You live in the boonies. Stock up on the country.

"SAVE THE HORSE - RIDE A COWBOY!"
and anything else you can two-step by.

believe it or not, country isn't going over well in the bars up here right now. There are only two bars left and my cousin is the DJ/bartender at the other one. He never plays country and the place is always packed with people.

yeah, I'm not down with all of the top 40 but there's always a negative aspect of every job - and if the only con to this job is bad music I can deal.

They're supplying Pioneer CDJs!! soooo stoked.

You're full of bad ideas today, aren't you?

After talking to the dude today about what music I can play, I'm not too worried about all of this top 40 nonsense. He said early in the night it's an older crowd (30-40ish) so country and classic rock goes over well. Then later in the night it tends to be more hip-hopish and some new age rock goes over well. For the last two or three hours people are so drunk, they're just looking for a good beat so he said I can play a lot more electronica as long as it's not trance (I like this guy already), but it's cool to drop in some throughout the night as well.

I'm going to try to stick to 90s hip hop (lots of Beastie Boys), avoid the country since I can easily make up for it with killer classic rock, and drop in lots of breaks and funky house.

Ok idiot you asked what people at clubs and bars dance to, hate it or love it i gave you an answer.
