Hey all...
I was asked by the company I work for to put together some music for a "social" event coming up in a few weeks. It's mostly a drinks/meet-n-greet type of event where I think just some smooth lounge/chill beats in the background would serve well.
I've not DJ'd really before but am going to go through some tutorials and use Live to do the event but want to get some recommendations on some music to use.
What would you all recommend for something like this?

Can't go wrong with some K&D, or anything on Compost, really.

Well, K&D is Kruder & Dorfmeister, those are artists (very good ones, too), and Compost is a German label with a lot of lounge and bossa-influenced stuff.
