house and rnb? That's a pretty big difference in requirements.

So you just want a list of different house and RNB songs?

Did you check The Music section to see what people are using in their mixes?

[Disco_potatoe]

yeah i know they wont a bit of both rnb and house....

yeah dont laugh about the ministryof sound cds bit lol i have seen that done before lol

no jokes

what is good songs that are good to start the night off?

thanks heaps!

if it's going to be commercial type music, then look for house/ electro tracks on ministry albums.

Alternatively, look at the aria charts.

[Skank]

statrt of rnb work ya way through house, where is the club located?

[DjDennis]

see worse thing is not knowing what the club is what it plays and how to tell you whats needed

all clubs are different....

[Skank]

man i got so many questions aboout this, wheres the resident dj? do u have enough music to last you 5 hours have you ever played in a club before

whats your mixing ability

its all gunna affect the way the night goes

i recommend that if you think you are going to struggle get a copy of mixmeister and make a few play lists to fill in the the time on the night make like rnb electro house hiphop and you can use these to buy you more time

[Disco_potatoe]

well i know that they want house and rnb played through out my set which is 9 till 2am so i have heaps of good songs but i dont want to play them all at the start of the night... i was looking for songs to help me get started....

like should i play chilled out house? or what? :S

thanks everyone for the help!

[eggssell]

if the crowd would cater for rnb then no chilled out house will make all the chicken heads fall asleep.

i would say electro house (given all new rnb or hip pop has gone the way of electro) or hip house.

like skank said start rnb, then you can drop some hip pop, breaking into hip house, then into either funk house or chicago house.

the other route would be rnb, then you can drop some hip pop, breaking into bmore or booty tech, then into electro house.

ha ha but for real (not that i dj club but ive been clubbing for donkeys) you cant plan the set just ride the vibe.

anywho, as for tracks sounds like you going commercial so as above check aria and beatport charts.

personally id go bmore bass/ miami bass or booty tech!!!!

[Disco_potatoe]

thanks heaps eggssell thats a good post really did help

is there any good albums that u know that has bmore or bootytech?

thanks heaps onces again

[DjDennis]

Actually Skank has asked the more relevant questions than you would think

best to make sure what your doing is whats really needed for the club your going to work at!

[eggssell]

hey, just note the bmore sound was more people remixing other songs and giving it a bmore club sound. but then you had certain artists who took the sound to release their own stuff with a gutter/ booty theme to their raps.

some artists to check (who dont specifically meet the above two genres but do marry hip hop & a variant of house)

spank rock

benny blanco & spank rocks bangers & cash collabo (pure gold every track a banger)

amanda blank

pase rock

ninja sonik

plastic little

aquasky (they had a good breakbeat bass series)

anything where sporty-o, whiskey pete or loc e have rapped on

and as above check defunct!'s cassette noise album prob my fave album of the year. has breaks, bass, dub everything

UPDATE: oh you asked for albums. just google/ juno these peeps and see what you like. oh and other than spank rock these arent very commercial so not sure how it will go over. you definitely couldnt do a whole night of it to an rnb/ pop crowd. but me id love it...
