Ableton Forum

started dj-ing at a club in north london but music policy is along the lines of indie electro (i tend to prefer more electro electro).

I played there for the first time last week and think I ended up getting a bit too "hard" for a lot of the people.

Problem is that my set is 6hrs which is a hell of a lot of music so any recs (or even your own songs) along these lines would be greatly appreciated.

things along the lines of klaxons, a yeah yeah yeah remix I put together, the faint and les savy fav seemed to go down the best.

thanks in advance.

probably best going down the Simian mobile disco route. have a look at what they play.

Let me know where. Sound like my kind of music, and it's my neck of the woods.

the_planet's list is a good one. Also many of the artists on this list have remixed other artists, so that's another good option - e.g. Wolfmother "Woman" (MSTRKRFT Remix), Gossip "Standing In The Way Of Control" (Soulwax Remix), Franz Ferdinand - The Fallen (Justice Remix), etc. Maybe a few decent mash-ups too.

The likes of Kissy Sell Out and Does It Offend You, Yeah seem to go down well with that crowd as well.

Hell, sounds like a dream gig for me! So if six hours gets to be too much for you, give me a shout...

played all of these last week

it is the cedar rooms on upper street.

looking to resurect a london meet at some point so you should come along and then welcome to try a linked 2 comp set.


And thanks planet, that list is awesome!!

No prob, mang. I'll append it as I think of more. (I need to make a list anyway)
Oh, and I'm also jealous of you! Maybe if they allowed a *bit* of industrial, It would be my dream gig!

What night?

And you are using Live, right?

And you are using Live, right?

yeah using live, last week was the first time I played out with it.
Took along a load of vinyl and cd's as back up but hardly used in the end.

What night?

fridays but every 2-3 weeks. Next one is on the 27th.

To be honest they arent all that fussy about being a bit flexible in genre's.

towards the end last time i got a bit self indulgant and just started playing a load of new house/electro remixes that i really like and wanted to hear on a big system.

planets, after getting a whole load of music around your suggested list can i say big thumbs up. exactly the sort of track I wanted to go down for this!!!
