As the title suggests I have just done another disco. I used to do these very often about 8 years ago but it was time consuming taking the hired equipment back so I went and bought my own.
Equipment consists of stuff like this
Twin cd' decks
Cd Mixer (I have a far simpler version)
Audilab Amp, Acoustic Solution Speakers and a 12" sub.
The venue is my local sports club (Rugby, Hockey and Cricket) its a mixture of all ages from young kids to the old boys who drink bitter from their own glass kept behind the bar. In the past I only played old music but my audience seems lower now so I can play more funky stuff. The majority of the dancefloor was filled with 17/18 year olds, they kept requesting 80's and 90's stuff rather than the latest Rhianna.
Here a few of the tunes I got away with on Saturday night, the poor old fella's probably still have ringing ears now.
Run DMC - Tricky

Inner Circle - Bad Boys (from COPS)
Adele - Hometown Glory (High Contrast/Drum n Bass)
Ironik - Stay with me (chipmunks)
Freemasons - When you touch me
Duffy - Mercy ( remix)
Rhianna - Take a bow (remix)
Dawn Penn - No, No, No
Mc Hammer - U cant touch this
Marc 'badboy' Morrison (so bad they named a range of supermarkets after him) - Return of the Mac
That will do for now, you need to see the venue and its occupants to realise what I have done by playing some of this stuff. A great sucess, the best one I have done so far, already been booked for another one. My only downside regards who is locking up that night if its the right guy we have a 4am finish rather than 12 with the last 4 hours being an open bar, shutters down and me playing what I want to. We are off to Barbados in 2010 and my disco's help bring down the cost as I dont charge other than a free bar and taxi home.
