    Classics always work best. And when I say “classic”, I mean a song that’ll get a huge reaction even if you drop it 20 years from now.

    Ex. “In Da Club”
    “Billie Jean”
    “Mundian to Bach Ke”

    Line dance songs also get everyone dancing too.

    Top40/mainstream house nights: The world is mine, let the bass kick in Miami, Inna – Hot..
    Electro/Dubstep nights: any Skrillex or mt. Eden tune..
    Funky house nights: Sing it back (Boris Musical rmx), Moment of my life..
    Old school techno nights: Sandstorm and the theme from Blade..

    These are the tracks I bring out in such moments to bring the heat up. But keep in mind that in most cases it is easier just to get the girls to dance.. because when girls dance, the men follow 😉

    Yes always reach for the girls first – the crowd will naturally build if girls are out there. But I cannot get behind line dancing songs… I purposefully have none in my library.

    I am a HUGE MJ fan so thriller and billie jean are great go to songs for me on top 40/pop/house nights – those two will get anyone dancing… if you don’t dance to MJ I don’t know what to play for you…. 😡 also LMFAO/lil jon will usually get a pretty good fist pumping round going!

    But during dubstep electro house nights i’ve been dropping skrillex ruffneck, or zedd dovregubben – that track gets a sick reaction!

    I dunno. I usually pack some mashups and good remixes of popular tunes to pull up when I see the crowd isn’t feeling the set.

    Depends on the evening, night, and what’s playing. My way is to just bring floorfillers as my backup.

    One favorite I like to pull up is Energy Flash by Joey Beltram.

    Blue Monday has definitely been a saver for me too!

    Agree with Billie Jean – thing is, you can play any remix as long as it has that basslie in it 🙂

    Totally agree!

    I still pick up new remixes that pop up. It’s timeless.

    Two Tracks that have Always created a Reaction when Necessary:
    Gary Numan – Cars
    South Street Player – Who Keeps Changing Your Mind

    Oh, yes. Energy Flash does the trick.

    Yea, at clubs I go to people rather enjoy this one (although, personally not one of my favorites).
