get into the groove how to plan party music to get your guests dancing 1 2 3 4 5
continued from page 3

Disco/Funk: For guests old enough to fully remember the horrors of the 80s, you may have to dig back a little further in musical time to find something they’re willing to dance to … even for those of us who have no memory of the 70s, the classics of the disco/funk era make for campily-fun dance music.

Aretha Franklin -- Think

90s/00s electronica: Throw on this mix when it’s 2 am and you’ve hit that critical point where people are starting to get tired and have begun to entertain the notion of heading home. It’s a sure-fire energy-booster (a round of shots doesn’t hurt either) that’ll make everyone forget about their comfy soft beds back home.

(Yes, this mix borrows heavily from Fatboy Slim’s You’ve Come a Long Way Baby – if you don’t have time to make the mix, get your grubby little hands on a copy of this album. It’s one of those rare albums that’s actually 100% perfect for parties … songs that are familiar to anyone who’s turned on a radio in the last several years, perfect dance beats).
