I've been getting together music for this party and I've realized that nothing can compete with this. I'm afraid anything I play, no matter how good, will have the effect of following up "Billie Jean" with some terrible Limp Bizkit b-side.

Limp Bizkit b-side? i figured it was hard enough for Fred to fill up an entire album, let alone have anything left over for scraps.

but on topic, nothing comes to mind. i'm curious to see the answers.

"One More Time" is one of the all time greats, but don't give up there!

Roxy suggested "Digital Love", ha

DP's only competition is itself, gah

For something to mix with "One More Time", look to other millenial house anthems like:

Pete Heller - "Big Love" (Original mix)

Actually, I'm wondering what Ronan and Steve et al will say.

mix into galleon - so i begin. chances are nobody notices its not the same track.

I'm less concerned about what leads up to "One More Time", since I think I can toss on "Romeo" and "Live at Domino's" and I'll be alright. It's the 2 or 3 cuts after that are stumping me. seriously, I'll just mix it straight into "If You Leave Me Now" by Chicago if I can't come up with something.

Classic disco may be the only way out.

Or a slow dance.

"Around the World"?

On a Daft Punk tangent, a lot of DJ Falcon & Thomas Bangalter stuff is pretty killer. Call On Me, So Much Love To Give, Together, all good choices.

Jacques Lu Cont's got some really great remixes for the dancefloor... his remixes of that Gwen Stefani song, Felix The Housecat's "Silver Screen Shower Scene," and (shockingly) Starsailor's "Four To The Floor" have worked well for me.

If you're not worried about hipster cred (I doubt you are, you're an ILM'er!) the Casablanca Records boxset has some 12" mixes of some classic Moroder songs (like a 12 minute mix of Donna Summer's "Love To Love You Baby") that are pretty transcendental. And Kylie Minogue can kill 'em.

Ada's Blondie has a few tracks that are surprisingly great for dancing to (considering it's a Kompakt release) as well as that "Maps" cover, which is pretty good for getting that emotional breakdown that "One More Time" has.

But Spencer's right, Ronan and Steve own this thread.

oh shit, "Music Sounds Better with you"

― Gear! (can Jung shill it, Mu?) (Gear!), Friday, 4 March 2005 19:13 (twenty years ago)

Losing My Edge by LCD Soundsystem.

a 2nd daft punk song would also be a brainiac play on words

tho i would do revolution 909 (with the whole field recording intro), followed by a fade out and then some much slower music. disco or a slowdance is a really good idea, because more daft punk will just completely slaughter people, the 1/2 that hasn't stopped dancing will be like totally pooped out.

Alan Braxe & Fred Falke - "Intro (Original Club Mix)"
beautiful gorgeous shimmering glimmering filterhouse.

or play it last

― Brian Miller (Brian Miller), Friday, 4 March 2005 20:27 (twenty years ago)

Play it one more time. I was at a party where that happened and it was awesome.

― mrjosh (mrjosh), Friday, 4 March 2005 20:36 (twenty years ago)

Play Henry Mancini "Baby Elephant Walk"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lcd's "daft punk is playing at my house"

― b b, Friday, 4 March 2005 20:50 (twenty years ago)

Just play Spencer Chow's "When Europe Attacks" CDR (search archives).

Not sure I ever posted that list (but maybe I did), but it had things like:

Moloko - Sing It Back (Boris Dlugosch mix)
Spiller - Groovejet
Modjo - Lady
Daft Punk etc.

I'll try to find it

Roger Sanchez, "Another Chance" seems to work mighty well with my friends. Everyone RUNS to somewhere (in a good way).

xpost
yeah that's a great one.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 4 March 2005 22:30 (twenty years ago)

There's also a very slightly remixed version of "Thinking of You" by Chic that's a big winner. I think the remix is by Joey Negro.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 4 March 2005 22:31 (twenty years ago)

I was going to suggest "Music Sounds Better With You" but I would also advise something like "Now That We Found Love" by Heavy D or "Baby Got Back" by Sir Mix-A-Lot.

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 4 March 2005 22:33 (twenty years ago)

Led Zeppelin - Whole Lotta Love

― The Argunaut (sexyDancer), Friday, 4 March 2005 22:33 (twenty years ago)

Also, "Turn The Beat Around" by Vicki Sue Robinson or "Jungle Boogie".

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 4 March 2005 22:33 (twenty years ago)

BBD - "Poison" is making the rounds again.
