Sister thread to: This is the EIGHTH and newest thread for requesting tracks for YSI/gmail

What did you, or your DJ of choice, play just before midnight and just after midnight on new years eve?

[a tenner says that whatever JD Twitch did wipes the floor with everything else on here but go for it anyway]

I can't remember what it was for me but I'll post as soon as I find out.

we played a computer voice count-down from 10, ending with loud cheering and applause as the balloons were dropped onto the dancefloor, then started More Than This by Roxy Music, followed by the french version of I Will Survive.

i don't remember, some generic house/techno thing.

Cardini played an electro-tinged remix of Pump Up the Jam. who is this by?

― Good Dog (Good Dog), Monday, 2 January 2006 21:08 (twenty years ago)

Uh I'm a moron, this is a sister thread to: If you were DJing on New Year's Eve what would killer tune at midnight be?

Interested in this electro Pump Up The Jam, does anyone know who it's by?

We called our party "This Is Six" and played Solid Groove's "This Is Sick" with the "ahahahah" loop-part leading up to midnight. A reference only ILM'ers could appreciate I guess.

Auld Lang Syne, immediately followed by Song 2. This is because I was being fair to my less bosh-inclined friends by spending midnight in the populist but rubbish room of the club. I was later told that they were playing the JLC Mr Brightside remix in the bosh room at the time.

Nnghrgh.

haha that's awesome!

― geeta, Monday, 2 January 2006 22:53 (twenty years ago)

i was crossing a road at midnight, but there was a guy playing this awesome dance music at the party we went to. We were in awe: Basically, the biggest electro/breaks I'd ever heard but with a real techno feel. I asked the DJ what style it was and he cryptically said "I dunno, I just play Old School" - whatever that meant. The particular track I asked him about was also "I dunno, it's a remix of a Snoop Dogg track", maybe Drop It Like It's Hot?

anyone know?

I was at a Wolf + Lamb party in Brooklyn, where Dan Bell was playing. 'Cept he started at about 2. At midnight, when there were about 30 people there, we toasted to some Ada tune playing kind of quiet in the background. Things got really great later though.

― paulhw (paulhw), Tuesday, 3 January 2006 01:19 (twenty years ago)

Wogan - I heard that same track. The Space Cowboys were mixing all sorts of mash-ups, breaks, etc. at the party we went to. I think it was a breaks version of Prince doing "Kiss" at midnight.

― schwantz (schwantz), Tuesday, 3 January 2006 03:08 (twenty years ago)

I played Passion by the Flirts( the version on Back To Mine - Chris Lowe) leading up to the countdown then after midnight, Woman by Mirage. Does anyone know where that verison of passion is from, every other version I've heard doesn't have the great into.

― Jacobs (LolVStein), Tuesday, 3 January 2006 03:16 (twenty years ago)

I was in the pub, they played Born to Run on the run-up to the bells, the barman called out the countdown to midnight, they launched into Auld Lang Syne, Flower of Scotland and half an hour's worth of ceilidh music.

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 3 January 2006 03:45 (twenty years ago)

haven't heard the Back to Mine, but the 12" of Passion contains both the normal 5+ minute version and a 9 minute italian version that may likely be what was on the comp. It is breathtakingly beautiful, I first heard it being played by Danny Wang one night as I was falling asleep in front of this ambient landscape video wall at a small techno club in NYC waiting for Robert Owens to perform. Don't know if it was ever on CD, but the 12" is not hard to find and shouldn't cost much.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Tuesday, 3 January 2006 04:25 (twenty years ago)

I was at drag queen Juanita More's party and it was "Girl I'll House You" followed by the music of Britney's "Toxic" with Mike Jones on top or some mashed up nonsense along those lines . . .

― Drew Daniel (Drew Daniel), Tuesday, 3 January 2006 05:05 (twenty years ago)

I played Girl I'll House You on New Years as well, but much later...

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Tuesday, 3 January 2006 05:06 (twenty years ago)

I legitimately don't remember, but friends say that "Since U Been Gone" played at midnight.

That "Toxic" mashup is a Hollertronix thing with "Still Tippin" I think, btw.

I don't know, it was a sea shanty of some kind. (Someone did tell me the name, but I can't remember.)

geez no idea, something from the 80s. we had some amateur mai tai playing covers all night

[a tenner says that whatever JD Twitch did wipes the floor with everything else on here but go for it anyway] - :-(

not fair! here is renowned as the world capital of new year partying (or is that edinburgh?) so i am obliged to spend months thinking about what will happen at the stroke of midnight. to be honest, chris isaak singing aud lang syne sounds just about like the best thing ever.i think i'll steal that idea for next year.

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Tuesday, 3 January 2006 14:19 (twenty years ago)

so stir, were you caned you can't remember a SINGLE song from the evening?

― Mister Titty Sanskrit (sanskrit), Wednesday, 4 January 2006 02:05 (twenty years ago)

i'm sure stirmonster's NYE was eensane.

My sndtrk was Nino Rota's "8 1/2". I stayed in this NYE.

― Jay Vee (Manon_70), Wednesday, 4 January 2006 02:43 (twenty years ago)

i can remember lots of songs as i was totally uncaned but i'm too lazy to type them out.

here's how thirteen minutes of the night went -

11.48 - klf - what time is love (pure trance)
11.52 - orbital - chime
11.56 - ticking clocks sound collage >>> a countdown from a hawkwind bootleg >> computerised voice new year greeting >>> 60 seconds of processed bagpipes
00.01 - justus kohncke performs 'timecode' live (he added some madonna 'time goes slowly' samples to the intro.

jay vee - thanks loads for the tracks. i haven't had time to listen to them yet but will do tomorrow and will mail you back.

i wanted to hear oliver hacke - 21:31, but he wasnt playing until later and when i asked him about it he said that it was too old and he didnt have it with him :(

― ambrose (ambrose), Wednesday, 4 January 2006 14:36 (twenty years ago)

Dog Latin, might that be Snoop's Acid Drop by Les Visiteurs; ubiquitous this year. Snoop + big anticipating cut ups + Acid drop = rave

― Barnaby (Barnaby), Wednesday, 4 January 2006 15:24 (twenty years ago)

Cheers Barnaby, that sounds like it! Gonna search now.

xxxxxpost

wasn't Tussle supposed to play the Knitting Factory with Radio 4? Wha happen?

I just hung out at home w/ friends on NYE but we made mixes to listen to. I think just before 12 it was "At Midnight" by T-Connection, and just after 12 "I Feel Love" (a popular choice, apparently) ...

― Renard (Renard), Monday, 9 January 2006 18:27 (twenty years ago)

ha ha oops, I need reading comprehension help, I thought the previous message said "I Feel Love" not "I Will Survive" ....

― Renard (Renard), Monday, 9 January 2006 18:29 (twenty years ago)

I think Tussle must've done both, because a friend of mine played at the knit before coming to my party and I swear he said he saw Tussle as well. They probably played at the Knit earlier or later and went over to Cake Shop. Which also explains why Cake Shop mentioned them as "secret guests".

I was spinning. I played 'The Only Way Is Up' by Yazz followed by 'Stop!' by Erasure. Went into more modern dancey territory after that: http://www.mixcloud.com/doglatin/deadbeats-nye-party-2013/
