indie dancey shit

Indivisual · Post by **Indivisual** » Sat Apr 14, 2007 6:38 pm

I've been djing a night on mondays thats indie/rock/dance/electro type shit

i've been playing shit like lcd soundsystem, hot chip, mstrkrft, css, of montreal, yeah yeah yeahs, rapture, !!!, etc. I've been doing it every week for months so I'm feeling it start to get stagnant.

I was wondering if any of you guys have suggestions as to some shit I could play. thanks.

well you already know I would say try some soca, techno, electronic and breakbeat kids dig it 3 out of 5 times. hip hop kids like their music to be violent and "hard" and cant appreciate beats and melodies the way the techno or electronic or rock kids do. afro beAT STUFF LIKE FELA KUTI OR KING SUNNY ADE OR DISCO FUNK LIKE JUICY FRUT BY MTUME, or funk jazz fusion genres, etc... if its african diaspora you know its gonna be danceable.

You ever heard of these Arctic Monkeys?
Sounds like the other bands you listed.

Too busy to do an extensive list now but they will probably love this:

And the last Kitsune Compilation should work as well:

I'll get back to this

based on some of the bands you named...

The Rosebuds' new album
The Bird and the Bee
The Go Team

some non-indie pop stuff from the UK might fit in too (Lily Allen, Kaiser Chiefs, Amy Winehouse, The Pipettes, Mark Ronson's comp)

there are some really cool dancey songs on the last subtle.

mercury craze especially.

the unicorns are also fun "tuff ghost"

Yeah, "Fucking Boyfriend" and "Again & Again" should definitely work in this context.
You might wanna consider playing the Peaches remix of "Fucking Boyfriend", that shit is wild.

I didn't like their album all that much and the remix-craze is out of control these days but there have been quite a few dope Klaxons remixes (Van She Tech, SebastiAn, Surkin,...)

The Digitalism remixes of the Cure's "Fire in Cairo" and Depeche Mode's "Never let me down" are pretty hype too.

These space homos should also be fine, given the bands you mentioned:

Oh and this:

Throw in some ESG, a random "Hustlin", "Push it" or "Stuntin like my daddy" and you're set.

you probably play this, but I figured I should mention DFA
any remixes they do are pretty much money

Shouldn't someone who dj's one of these nights like, know about the music and stuff?

I do know a lot of this stuff, but after djing the same night over 15 times, you want to spice it up and not have it sound redundant. I'm not down with playing the same set every week. Granted there are some bangers that everyone wants to hear every week but there are plenty of regulars that come every time so I want to change it up.

indie dance is so gay.
just play some nanotrance instead.

coldwatermusic · Post by **coldwatermusic** » Sun Jun 03, 2007 2:43 pm

BUMP for this one:

You've probably heard "Acceptable in the 80s" but there's loads of other cheesy discotrash-goodness on there. Album is out in a week or two.
