So I'm throwing a house party and the theme is Guido Beach, like the infamous Youtube video. I need to make a solid playlist of electronica/trance/electro/Italo-Disco, whatever, if its made on a computer, and I can make out with skanks to it, it's on. Seriously, anything from Armen Van Buuren to David Guetta to MSTRKRFT to Scooter, as long as its got a beat and we can enjoy it semi-ironically. Give me all you got.
Are you just looking for artists or specific songs? A really easy way to find specific songs is to go onto Ultra Records youtube page. http://www.youtube.com/user/UltraRecords They represent literally everyone in electronic/dance music. Markus Schulz, Steve Smooth, Kaskade, Sharam, Cedric Gervais, Basshunter, Tiƫsto, Paul Oakenfold, Above & Beyond, The Young Punx, Benny Benassi, Ferry Corsten, Armin van Buuren, David Guetta, Deadmau5, Kraak & Smaak, Morcheeba, Fedde le Grand, Enur
I don't even know where to begin beyond those two tracks, a couple MSTRKRFT songs and thats it. I'm thinking shit like Bloody Beetroots, the new Akon/Guetta song etc will work. If anyone can throw some suggestions for good Tiesto/Armin Van Buuren (sp?) songs, I'd appreciate it. This is an ironic theme party, not a rave so nothing too heavy/downbeat.
Ultra records also put out mix CD's with all the most popular stuff on it. Here's two with some great stuff on them. http://store.ultrarecords.com/617465201554 http://store.ultrarecords.com/617465163654 And some more stuff off the top of my head: Basshunter - All I ever wanted David Guetta - Love is Gone Guetta - Everytime we touch Guru Josh Project - Infinity Kaskade - Move for me van buuren - In and out of Love (35 million views on youtube) van buuren - fine without you Tiesto - I will be here tiesto - adagio for strings tiesto - love comes again
These are great. Some more: Daft Punk - Da Funk DP - Around the World DP - Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger MSTRKRFT feat. N.O.R.E. - Bounce (remix) Rockwell - Somebody's Watching Me (aka the Geico song) Justice - DVNO Justice - Planisphere (all four parts - it's fucking intense) Benny Benassi - Free Your Mind BB - Come Fly Away BB - Electro Sixteen BB - Love is Gonna Save Us BB - Put Your Hands Up David Guetta - When the Lights Go Out (awesome) Guetta - Joan of Arc That should probably do you until the urge for irony passes and you're enthusiastically guido-fist-pumping the night away.
I'm not sure how ironic you want to go, but here's some suggestions: Fragma - Toca's Miracle DJ Sammy - Heaven Anything by Cascada ("Everytime we touch" is a special recommendation though) Enjoy
Teddybears - "Punkrocker" or "Cobrastyle" pretty much anything by Bloc Party Pulp - "Common People" Pony Pony Run Run - "Hey You" Black Kids - "I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How to Dance" anything by Girl Talk The Faint - "Worked Up so Sexual" Ladyhawke - "Magic" Felix da Housecat - "Silver Screen Shower Scene" Adult - "Nite Life" Fischerspooner - "Emerge" Lykke Li - "Little Bit" MGMT - "Kids" anything by Royksopp (I'm not bothering with fucking umlauts) Miss Kitten - Frank Sinatra (I don't know if you can get more snobbish irony than that) Yeah I'm a big electro/whatever fan.
Lets get serious then I have miles of this stuff. I've crowded the responses as it is but if you want more I'll give you a much bigger playlist.
Yeah, I'm bookmarking this thread. Seriously, I think Guido, I think this Diplo remix. Course the original works just as well. Do they listen to kpop on Long Island? Probably not, but whatever. Also, Korean girls can rap better than I'd have expected.
Daft Punk's live album Alive 2007 is one of my favorite albums of all time. They remix all the songs together and they way they do is fucking sick. This album introduced me to electronic music. Harder Better Faster Stronger/Around the World Face to Face/Short Circuit
