I've been drafted in at last minute to perform a set at a local club and I'm getting a set list together. So far I have:

Grandmaster Flash - Scorpio (Plaid Mix)
Scott Grooves - Mothership Reconnection (Daft Punk Mix)
Egyptian Lover - Girls
Isolee - Jelly Baby Fish
808 State - Flow Coma (Aphex Twin Mix)

What else would fit into this style? I'm going for a super-futuristic B-Boy style.

If this is really last minute how are you going to get the tracks (please don't say you're going to download them because if you're playing less than 320 at a club you need to be stopped)?

"Space Invaders are Smoking Grass", innit? And "Short Skirts" by Felix da Housecat.

Rockist.

do people still get up for some of these acapellas (breathe and stop, push it, bug a boo)? the novelty of just throwing them over any old technoish fodder wore off some time ago (i still use the odd other, less over-saturated acapella in mixes/edits as and when ktho) to the extent where i'd hate hearing them at an actual club night.

they do in hitchin but then we still think drill'n'bass is a pretty neat idea. i do like these mashups though in this context, particularly bug a boo and breathe 'n' stop where i've actually manipulated them quite a lot. the whole mix is meant to be kind of goofy anyway.

also, they interest-up a lot of instrumental stuff. i was DJ-ing this stuff between bands so the audience was going to be a bit Rockist and need a vocal point.
