    There have been lots of 12″ remix CD’s released of all the hot stuff. Ben Liebrand comes to mind. This could help with some of the more “classic” tracks.

    Another place to look (although it’s obviously local charts for Holland) would be dutch dance lists: http://www.dutchdancelists.com/

    If you take their yearlists and look at the top 10-15 for each year it should give you some help in selecting some highly danceable tracks that were popular then. There is usually a fair amount of remixes that make it into that list.

    Hope that helps.

    Interjecting again DJ Vintage, you know this better than I sir. 🙂

    Wilesy, Are you from the UK? (I am from there although not any longer)

    I would start with some slower stuff and build from there, play a few classic to get people going but nothing current. Save that until the second set. Try some stuff from the mid / late 90’s. Just thinking tracks the person having the birthday grew up within their teenage years. Give them some memories. Gradually bringing it up to date. PArties generally stay with known tracks there are too many to choose from. Looks through the Now Cd track listings see if you can find any remixes / mashups on a DJ pool / itunes / beatport etc. You may pop in the odd track of yours and see how it goes, you maybe surprised. I have been at parties where it starts commerical and turns into an underground rave. However that is usually the exception to the rule. Depends on the crowd. Nothing wrong with dropping / chopping in a few big original versions of the tracks either.

    Good luck..

    Clockwork has a Seven Nation Army remix, Joel Fletcher has a Jump Around remix, Dan Absent has a lot of bootlegs to well known songs if you’re into melbourne. Honestly just search for popular artists that you enjoy on youtube and stick “house bootleg” or “house remix” at the end. Most of them will have DL links.. Good luck!

    People around their 30ish tend to bit more nostalgic, so throw a lot of 90’s anthem, especially the era of
    “mutant-disco / nu-disco”, some floor-banger like Stardust, Madison Avenue Dont call me baby, and some Simply Red, things in that nature, its an instant floor-filler
    Paired it up with some classic disco anthem, Do the Hustle, Dancing Queen, etc
    Who wouldnt loved some disco-infused tunes anyway ?

    I play in a lot of high street venues (yates style) so usually have to keep it quite commercial, especially at the start of the night. I use dj city record pool as I find this has a lot of good remixes and edits of chart/commercial tracks that are very good for this
