you're going to a 90s night at the clurb

pretend you're a twenty-something. what's one track, any genre, released between 1/1/90 and 12/31/99, you have to hear?

Right now? "Last Train to Transcentral."

Return of the Mack

“This Is How We Do It”

You should introduce the youths to “Short Dick Man” tho

Just one? Aaaaargh

Is it cheating to say “the entirety of History of the World, Vol 1” or “both discs of Cold Krush Cuts”?

Sorry, History of our World, Part One

my real answer is probably "Gypsy Woman" but just gonna throw

Eiffel 65 - "Blue (Ba Da Bee)" on the pile

oh and

tori amos - professional widow (armand's star trunk funkin' mix)

good call on meat beat manifesto!

my club is the club where overweight kids can feel free to dance with each other while wearing trenchcoats, spandex cycling shorts and mountaineering sunglasses, so i would offer up...

front 242's "tragedy >for you<"

some bright spark will feel moved to re-enact the video on the dance floor with a shopping trolley

iirc sultans of ping's "where's me jumper?" results in ironic / playful "bumper to bumper" action between young introverts which in some cases gets hot and heavy

follow it up with missy elliott's "Sock it 2 me" and them toilets stalls be a rattlin'

Groove is in the Heart
Set Adrift on Memory Bliss
Steal My Sunshine

It's a real fucking shame that Gigi d'Agostino L'Amour Toujours has been hijacked by nazis now. Couldn't they have taken Abba?

but Gigi d'Agostino Bla Bla Bla is a good enough substitute

Don't let them take it - there's a counter anti-Nazi version. Good call. Just snuck in as it's 1999.

Theres nothing like this - omar

The kids might go for "Deeper and Deeper"!

as a canadian I'll say Love Inc - Broken Bones

As a kid in the 90’s I grew up with corny eurodance music and loved it. So yeah any of these would do the trick:

Corona - rhythm of the night
Real McCoy - another night
Mr president - coco jamboo
Whigfield - saturday night
Ace of Base - the sign
Culture Beat - mr. vain
Gala - freed from desire
Gala - come into my life
Paradisio - Bailando
Moloko - sing it back
Sash! - ecuador

Was coming to say Whigfield - saturday night which I didn't know at the time but now love. 100 to the sign and another night though.

I did start writing out a list last night and it had The Key, The Secret, Don't Give Me Your Life and Carry Me Home as its eurodance picks

The 'twee pop' section would be TKTS, Vengaboys' Boom x4, Saturday Night, and Ann Lee's 2 Times

Yes Boom x4 over vengabus always.

Quite a few others from my list - Progen, Don't You Want Me - have been mentioned since. I thought we were only meant to pick one!

Anyway:
Fatboy Slim - Everybody Loves a Carnival
New Order - Regret
The Bucketheads - The Bomb!
Erasure - Always
Suede - Beautiful Ones
Spacehog - In the Meantime
The Chemical Brothers - Leave Home
OMC - How Bizarre
Shaft - (Mucho Mambo) Sway
Stereo MCs - Step It Up
Pet Shop Boys - Absolutely Fabulous
Maxx - Get-a-way
PJ & Duncan - Let's Get Ready to Rhumble
De'lacy - Hideaway
The Lightning Seeds - The Life of Riley
James - Sit Down
Pianoman - Blurred
Ultra Nate - Free
Dario G - Sunchyme
Bamboo - Bamboogie
Five - Keep on Movin'
Kris Kross - Jump
SL2 - On a Ragga Tip
Chaka Demus & Pliers - Tease Me
Maxi Priest feat Shaggy - That Girl
George Michael - Fastlove
East 17 - House of Love

has no one said robin s - show me love yet??? dancing to that at my wedding was like top 5 moments of my life

honestly just give me house piano and i’m set:

alison limerick - where love lives
off shore - i can’t take the power
bizarre inc - playing with knives
utah saints - something good
congress - 40 miles
awesome 3 - don’t go (kicks like a mule mix)

Something Good was another I forgot to reinsert in the new list. though personally i'd opt for the original Don't Go.

Map, hope you share your setlist if you keep track of it!

would be fitting if map played utah saints ;)

“What Can Yo Do For Me” > “Something Good” though

All of the above, plus
St Etienne - He's on the phone
JX - There's Nothing I Won't Do (I put this on a 90s playlist fairly recently and my friend was visibly transported back to the 90s)

(Ace of Base - the Sign for sure)

I'd go for "House of Jealous Lovers" but (hey, I know..)

Also:

“There Is No Law” (Beltram mix) - Messiah
“Anesthesia” - T99
“Balloony” - LA Style
“Dildo” - Interactive
“The Bomb” - Bucketheads
“Friendly Fascism” - Consolidated
“Land of the Free” - Die Warzau
“Juke Joint Jezebel” - KMFDM
“Brothers Gonna Work It Out” - Public Enemy
“Ring Ring Ring (Ha Ha Hey)” - De La Soul
“(I Wanna Give You) Devotion” - Nomad
“Now Is Tomorrow” - Definition of Sound
“Devil’s Haircut” - Beck
“Naked Eye” - Luscious Jackson
“93 ‘Til Infinity” - Souls of Mischief
“UNITY” - Queen Latifah

Freddie Mercury - Living on my own

I used to go to an indie disco in the 90s that always ended with Belle & Sebastian - Boy with the Arab Strap.

I'd send 'em home gently with Tony Rich Project's "Nobody Knows."

Oceanic - Insanity

“James Brown Is Still Alive” - Holy Noise

I mean my real answer is this and always will be but it seems to be such a specific time capsule it might be /too/ nineties

"big time sensuality" is a must as is "finally", "rhythm of the night" and "show me love"

lol, noted. amy grant will be played, as will the jets.

maybe not the jets, that's the 80s

I love The Jets but all their big songs are from the 80s

Haha lol

I got 5 on it

Baby Got Back tbh

i'm looking forward to and counting on djp's contributions to the 'goth night at the club' version of this thread i'll be starting in a week or two :)

a slam dunk when the floor is packed and everyone is at least two drinks in

Klf, utah saints, bizarre Inc

i have totally played these tracks in the 21st century when deejaying at bars. i love these guys. my kinda grindin' newbeat 90s.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ICti3hkUCQ

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxdWwUwcmP4

those original versions are the best ones too. there are remixes, etc. i feel like ilm would be the best audience for any dj set i did but you guys are never around and i am kinda retired. there is a basement bar at the bottom of the local live venue here though and i have been considering a cool 80s night with lots of freestyle...

“More Human Than Human” White Zombie

Not sure if you want songs that the crowd will know from the recent songs they influenced ("Show Me Love" and "Whores in This House") or if those are too familiar.

oh man good call

Rozalla - Everybody’s Free (To Feel Good)
Chubb Rock - Treat ‘em Right

Also, 1991: the last great year of freestyle

Corina - Temptation
Lisette Melendez - Together Forever

and

Cathy Dennis - Touch Me (All Night Long)

definitely

C’mon n’ Ride It (the Train) - Quad City DJs

This one was maybe my favorite party jam. I remember going to an apartment complex party at IU during little 5 and these omega psi guys took out the screens on a second floor apartment and had bins in the window playing out on the courtyard. They put this on and this party went nuts.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jR-TD8NWSE

you oughta know - alanis

production on that one has aged very well imo

"Are You Gonna Go My Way?" sounds great these days as well, as far as pop hits.

i have an awesome alanis/trance white label bootleg single from the 90s and now i can't think of what song they use. its not uninvited. shit. i'll have to dig it out. its better than a lot of official remixes i've heard of hers.

!

Did we get this far already without mentioning FSOL “Papua New Guinea”

also for when you need a bathroom break during dj set:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0oYoRg6Ws9U

i'd play all the underworld but sadly i think it's gonna be a snooze for my crowd. i might be able to get away with born slippy nuxx. the other one i thought about was king of snake. or rez / cowgirl...

speaking of FSOL - their remix of Stereo MC’s Connected very much slaps imo

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgXRhSj83Bk

Roni Size obv

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJyNC5oLIbc

update: no one really wanted to hear 90s music last night so i defaulted to my "gay club hits" set (think charli/chappell, rihanna, kesha, gaga, minaj, etc.). i did execute my dumb idea of playing "the rain (supa dupa fly)" after gaga's "rain on me" and basically cleared the floor. the only 90s song that really hit was "man i feel like a woman". it was a joy to play and sounded great. ending things with a lil kim track was also cool, i get so many nicki minaj requests there that she's in the club.

Or the clurb

i have an awesome alanis/trance white label bootleg single from the 90s

Hybrid remix of So Pure?

that might have been it. i really have to try and find it now. there is no info on it other than a title but my old age is showing. blanking on it.

i fucking adore "The Rain" but it's more a walking home tune than an in the clurb tune

the only 90s song that really hit was "man i feel like a woman"

Queer Gen Z line dancing is a big thing these days!

It’s a total jam

if you play this at the clurb make sure you play the video for maximum vibes

i definitely danced to this multiple times though i cannot attest to it being in any way “good”?

yeah

"please don't go" is great. makes me think of boyz II men.

most forgotten 5-week uk no. 1 of the last 40 years

KWS were from my home town, but I still can’t stand Please Don’t Go… even if it was one of the better tracks on their godawful album!

its not even a very good KC & The Sunshine Band song but somehow i have nostalgia for it idk idk

This one always gets great crowd response, I attribute this to a) everyone knows the hook and b) it has the Show Me Love Korg M1 lead.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6lxifd-EmI

Oh this is great, totally gonna use it!

Only thing I don't like as a DJ is that it has scratching and a big backspin, so what do you do - lean into it and fake it, or demonstratively not do anything during those bits?

outrageous racism to not nominate Boxcar's Insect

from 1989?

Album was 1990 and the re-edit of the Racic club mix was ‘92!

speaking of 1989, this came out at the end of 1989 but it was #20 on the billboard dance chart at the beginning of 1990. I have been loving it all year. so cool.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrZs4No7vZQ

i like all the mixes too. i have no idea where it would fit in a dj set though.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3NzI0egJYQ

This is another one of my faves for mid-90s sets, super easy to mix the intro in with the outgoing track and when the U2 riff drops the floor always gets going. And not so overplayed like 9pm Till I Come or Show Me Love.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shrmo4YwOfU

Oh, they used to play a version of that at Trade...
