Daft Punk anyone? :)

I guess that would be a good music choice for a robot theme. Some people might not like their older stuff, but their "Discovery" album is well known for songs like "One More Time" and "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger".

Their live performance was a bit of a epileptic light show:

Mixing with all of this:

Holy.......

and they do all that with those massive helmets on?

Yep... I still don't know how they see with those things on.

Well, you caught me on that one (not that it wasn't obvious). Daft Punk are some of my musical heros. In a 3 hour set, they're in there 3 times. And yeah, they kind of are the theme in many ways. I'm trying to make it seem a little less obvious (since, you know, we shouldn't just do what I want), but I'm sure some of it will shine right through.

From them I'm taking:
Harder Better Faster Stronger
One More Time
Something About Us

I don't think anyone will recognize the last one, it's just a good slow Rumba, so I think I'll get away with it.

Well, for pop music, there's always whatever's on the Billboard Hot 100.

I'm actually an aspiring "bedroom" DJ, but I have to admit I completely suck at even basic mixing. :/

Aerodynamic is also a great tune in my view - fantastic guitars. Alive is a good track too, though it may not fit with the musical style you're going for...

EDIT: Since you're going for R&B and Electronica as genres, may I suggest Kanye West's 'Stronger' which contains a rather large sample of Daft Punk's 'Harder Better Faster Stronger'.


Just for a bit of inspiration, here's a few of my favourite house/trance tracks from the last few years:

'Shot You Down', Audio Bullys feat. Nancy Sinatra
'Insatiable', Thick Dick feat. Latanza Waters
'Push the Feeling On', The Nightcrawlers (a bit older)
'Yeah Yeah', Bodyrox
'Love Don't Let Me Go', David Guetta vs. The Egg
'The Joker', Fatboy Slim

'As the Rush Comes', Motorcycle
'Exploration of Space', Cosmic Gate
'Silence', Delerium feat. Sarah McLachlan (preferably Tiesto's 'In Search of Sunrise' mix)
'Somebody to Love (Ian Knowles Remix)', Boogie Pimps
'Anthem', Filo and Perry feat. Eric Lumiere


And as an all-time great rock/dance cross-over:

'Sit Down (Apollo 440 Remix)', James


Now if only I could find a club where I live that would play this stuff... :rolleyes:

You could always hire these chicks, totally SFW

Thanks EatsWithFingers, I'll give those tracks a look.

I actually listen to almost all of what you listen to :) . You do know that's more electronic (erm all electronic) than pop/rock/hip-hop, right? Anyway I think "Push the Feeling On" is back from 1995 and some words repeating over and over again that I could never understand. Also, the new song by Bodyrox & Luciana is "What Planet U On?". "Anthem" was on the top dance charts (and still is).

Haven't heard a lot of them, but it's always good to listen to what people suggest, because it helps give you an idea of what other people like. Sides, I might use a couple of them.

Most of the night is going to be music with electronic back beats, soo... I only am using pop in as much as it uses electronic back beats (think more Justin or OutKast than Nickleback or Fall Out Boy). I don't think we're going to be doing much rock (or any, really) because the basic musical them is to have most of the song be electronically generated. And most rock musicians kind of shun that idea (and for good reason, I like rock, it's just not the theme this time though.)

As far as the hip-hop tracks go..take a look at timbalands album...pretty much anything on there will do. And get some 2pac and dr. dre classics that everyone knows, and for the love of all thats sane, DONT put on soulja boy
