Credible dance music for a wedding recommendations.

I’m DJing at a wedding in Portugal next week. 😀

As well as some not-too-cheesy wedding classics and soul/funk/Motown etc they have requested dance music and indicated that this might go on until pretty late.

I normally DJ breaks/dnb but I’ve been getting together stuff like Daft Punk/Chemical Brothers/Groove Armada. Any recommendations for accessible but not too cheesy dance music? I’m thinking vocal stuff/bootlegs/mashups will be good as people like stuff they’ve heard before in that scenario. They’ve mentioned liking Soulwax/2 Many DJs etc

Cheers!

Go for some cheese and bass.

It’ll murder the dancefloor 😛

…or something a bit lower on the BPM scale:

Altogether now!

Wah day, wah day, wah daddly die day……

High Contrast – Racing Green, cleared the dance floor of Jon Bon Jovi fans at our wedding and got everyone else on their feet including my 90year old grandma, was a bit surreal dancing to drum and bass with her but a great memory to remember her by.

Just leave ‘2 many dj’s ‘ playing all night

Thanks folks – keep em coming.

Altogether now!
Wah day, wah day, wah daddly die day……

That’s a given!

Just leave ‘2 many dj’s ‘ playing all night

🙂

Spike the cake and whack some jeff Mills on

Jive Bunny.

Got to go old skool, get the pianos going, sweet harmony etc, wind up to some LFO and chuck in chime/halcyon at the end

it’s what we did!

Poppers in the smoke machine, spray the cake with acid, two copies of this all night… job done.

I still absolutely love it when anyone anywhere drops groove armadas superstylin.
Eric prydz, call on me
Axwell, leave the world behind

Just try and avoid a certain tune by The Prodigy. 🙂

After everyone has had a few sherberts, don’t forget to get some northern soul or ska on, that usually does the trick too

Parov stelar. Enough said.

Cmon, its a wedding!

Jambourgie that is class. Sounds a bit like my wedding!

You want..
pop music!

etc 🙂

The laydeez will luv it…as will anyone who has played GTA5.

…and a fun one for the grandparents:

If you want a bit of horrific commercial dance this playlist me and my flatmate made is pretty comprehensive.

Thanks everyone! Checking out some of these now. Funnily enough I was just listening to that Far Too Loud track earlier today davidtaylforth. 🙂

great minds think alike n all that. It’s not a classic wedding song though. Definitely a big tune. Just stick it on repeat and then get some Freecell or Solitaire on the go, I think that’s what he does. Everyone loves it though.

subsub “ain’t no use”
Bizzare inc “playing with knives”
Candi Statton -“you got the love” & “young hearts run free”

😀

D.I.V.O.R.C.E.

K&D sessions

Don’t listen to these fuddy duddys.

Nicky Minaj’s Anaconda to open, then some Skrillex. When it all gets a bit too heavy, drop some ‘big room EDM’ from Martin Garrix.

Get ’em stomping 😉

Thing about weddings, doesn’t matter how great or credible a dance track actually is, if they haven’t heard it before they won’t dance.

Singing along potential limited!

Have a listen to a skills on SoundCloud for inspiration..

And hunt down Hong Kong ping pong mix tapes
