Geek vs Life

Hopefully some of you have heeded my words of wisdom and made a great BBQ play list over the past weekend. Now let’s move on to steamier night and adventures, I give you you the dance-athon play list. again you can find most of this music legally, using sites such as Emusic or iTunes.

Dance-athons are the easiest play list to make. The only hard rule is to attempt to flow each song into next song. You can easily make themes, for example eighties night is very popular with the ladies and people of a certain age.

Again try for two hours for a play list. At the end of the play list, it is good to check the mood of a party. If it is a great Dance-athon, then you should have two or three play lists in the queue ready to pop off. A wide range of songs in all your play lists will help for requests. Try not to repeat any songs on your multiple play lists, although clever remixes might negate the rule. Also, don’t take offense if you have to fast forward song, a great song is only a great song, at the moment it is played. Another thing to remember is try to have builds, peaks, and releases. Try to structure the play list as a novel, have it increase in tension, have false climaxes, and then bamm…slowly calming down. Yeah this list should not be on random.
