Christmas Night Party at Club 981

I played the annual Christmas night party at Club 981 in Neguac (near Miramichi) again the other night. What a party. I did this last year too. I would have expected that not a lot of people would come out to party on a Christmas night, but that was a mistaken assumption.

I've got a set list below, for anyone who was at the event and is trying to figure out some of the songs that I was playing. I assume that people would have known all the tracks from the last hour and a half, but maybe not some of the songs in the first half of the evening. I started out with a bit of rock & even a couple country songs, then moved into current pop music. However, when I started getting into dance music, everyone started requesting "classic" mainstream hits, so after the Lady Gaga track that I played, I gave up trying to play newer music and just went with songs that were a couple years old. As a DJ, it's good to play what the crowd wants to here.

 

For anyone in Halifax, I'll be playing a show with David Anthony on Thursday evening. This should be fun ... we used to DJ together pretty frequently about ten years ago, back in the days of vinyl, but we haven't played together in a decade. That show will not be mainstream/pop - look for a classic house set on Thursday evening.

Anyway, here's the set list from Christmas Eve:

45. Duck Sauce, "Barbara Streisand" (O God Remix).
46. K'Naan, "Take A Minute."

Like I said, it was a mostly mainstream/top40 show. I started with an hour of 90's hip hop mixed with modern hip hop, and then went into more upbeat tracks for the last couple hours. I think that the only thing I really regret is throwing the Usher/Pitbull track in near the end. I had to speed it up quite a bit to make it beat-mix, so it sounds out of place to me. There were a few minor slips in the beat mixing and key mixing, but overall, considering the chaos, the mix is pretty good. This was mixed live on CDJ's, not on a laptop. I ended up "mastering" the mix heavily with the Waves L3 Ultramaximizer plug-in, which I am not fond of doing, but it makes the end mix sound more like it did in person. That's kind of important, since a lot of people won't be listening to this on a loud system like we had at the party.

Harper Havoc 2010 Set List

This is another top40/mainstream set, not house/trance/techno. It was a booking at one of the major residences at the University. Not a huge party, maybe 300-400 people, but a lot of fun.

I did not record this show. To be honest, I was scared to. I put out a call for requests before the party, and got a few pages worth - enough for about three nights of music. I tried to play at least one request from everyone, so it led to a very patchwork set for the first few hours. So for any of the professional DJ's looking at this who are thinking, "how can all that flow together?" ... well, it can't. But a busy dance floor works wonders when you're playing popular songs, even if you're switching up the genres frequently. I wanted to mix in some down-tempo, some classic rap, some contemporary hip hop, some rock, and some 128bpm dance tracks. Musical chaos. The last hour and a half felt like it flowed decently though.

Here are the set listings from tonight's show.

01. Kings Of Leon - Knocked Up.
02. Beastie Boys - Paul Revere.
03. ODB - Got Your Money.
