[mattus123]

Hey brosephs,

me and Gremm1s are gonna DJ some big architectural function in a few weeks above establishment, they are expecting like 450 people to show up or sometihng.

Im planning on playing lounge/tech/depp house, but i jsut got a txt from the chick who booked me saying the boss wants to meet me to discuss music. He either doesnt know what tech/deep house is, OR it isnt what he's atfer

Just wondering what you guys think i should play for a bunch of suits at a fancy function? I wanna try get a few songs together or possibly a small mixtape before i meet him to show him the type of stuff ill play

Cheers Guys

Good idea matt, i will talk to you on facey about it too.

[mattus123]

Does anyone know of any good blogs for this type of music?

i am WAY out of the loop in terms of these types of artists

keep the ideas coming though lads

cheers

Andyman is the guy to hit up for deep house

[mattus123]

haha im waiting for him and lloydc to jump on this thread

i have a sneaky suspicion they'll be able to solve all the mysteries

function is function mate.

Unless this firm is different to all other corporate functions the crowd will be a cross section of ages, incomes, attitudes and tastes from the executive director to the girls from the typing pool etc.

Do the meeting with the boss before you decide anything. Be prepared to act confident whatever he says then do your research.

Personally I reckon he'll say top 40, chart and "a bit of everything good."

In my experience the best you can normally expect from a corporate is to please most of the people most of the time, using classics, cheese and anthems...most people won't be happy if they don't know the songs... then once the crowd has thinned later on you may be able to work out a type of music they kind of agree on and actually get some mixing in there.

[lloydc]

deep things will go down well, keep it lower volume at the start of the night and make sure it's background music.

i'd then be looking at going down the 'soulful road' .... check this shit http://randomsoulmusic.com/podcasts/ (those guys are aussie and top lads too)

chuck some tech house in there and also come armed with some popular stuff (including non edm)

[andyman]

Deep things > vocal things > cheese > living on a prayer

the venue is pretty up market and more of a chilled space, so chilled/vocal is the order of the day... you might be able to get some cheese/anthems in there later on.

Deep things > vocal things > cheese > living on a prayer

pretty much

[mattus123]

Perfect

thats kind of what i was planning but i wasnt too sure as i havent been to a function like this before

Cheers lads!!

[Tomy]

do the meeting with the boss. at least you'll know. better then having 450 pissed off drunks.

eighties, nineties and hit of today is really what your going to have to do. its a corporate function. I would also recommend buying the track list of chill out sessions or two for the start of the night as people generally know these tracks eg: moby, dido, Groove Armada, etc, etc

I wanted to make a mix to take into the boss to show him where my train of thought is going

i feel this will give him a basic idea of starting the night with chilled tunes and then later in the night build it up a bit

What do you guys think of something like this?

[Mitch]

just had a listen, was chill. digged it.

good for a first mix with this sort of stuff
