    I’ll start off by saying Avicii – levels, its already a really popular tune and i dont see it running out of steam anytime soon.

    Good song, my issue is it that it’s all buildup but no hard drop. I find that its a great song to set the mood, and then you can just go straight into a nice huge drop from something like the Mikkas Remix of Unison.

    Levels is a great song but to differentiate your set from everybody else’s I like to use a remix. There are tonnes of decent remixes/mashups of Levels out there I’m sure that one of them will suit what you (and your audience) are looking for. Also considering it’s summer in Aus (I’m on the Gold Coast personally) you may wanna look into some of the nu-disco stuff out there I’m finding that it gets people move at the beginning of your sets.

    i could not agree with you more, i also find its a really good way to transition between different genres or songs, it gives the audiences a bit of a chill out period and gets the ready for the next big tune.

    I’m thinking I may have been bit by the Nu-disco/house bug! Also I’m kinda over the epic synth’d anthem-vibe that a lot of commercial electro house tracks are coming out with. It’s fun to try and inject some new grooves into the crowd and see how they go. Obviously it’s all about reading the sets and venues but I’m just getting bored of the commercial stuff that’s out so that’s why I look for mashups/remixes of the big gunners to stand out from your normal club dj. In my experience the crowd reacts well to it mostly because they all go “oh hey I know that song but it’s different/new/cool!” Try http://www.whitefolkgetcrunk.com they’re brimming with good re-takes on all the popular stuff.

    The Burning Ear is also a great blog for remixes of new/popular songs.
