DJ Mix

I honestly think that I should have pursued a career as a DJ in bars and clubs and the like. I go out to bars virtually every weekend, and most of the bars in New Haven are constantly bumpin' crap that I could care less about. I mean seriously, Fergie? I swear if I hear Kanye West one more time when I go out I'm going to gouge my own eyeballs out with a spoon. So I decided that today's post would consist of up-beat, party type tunes that would definitely fuel the club hoppers need for music that will keep their hips gyrating in a vaguely sexual manner. Anyway, onto the tunes.

M83 - Teen Angst
Daft Punk - Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger
Bloc Party - The Prayer
Test Icicles - Circle, Square, Triangle (Simian Mobile Disco Remix)
Arctic Monkeys - I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor
We Are Scientists - Nobody Move, Nobody Get Hurt
Chromeo - Fancy Footwork
Mute Math - Typical
LCD Soundsystem - All My Friends

Aside from that little collection, if you're ever going to throw a house party and the people who are going to be in attendance tend to have varying degrees of appreciation of musical genres, download a few of these "Sixx Mixx". Apparently the guy who mashed these up did so for a radio show he was hosting. He doesn't do it anymore so the songs aren't necessarily new, however these mixes include some classics, and they are very well done.
