Best Song of 2014 Thus Far

I've been thinkin' bout you, thinkin' bout me, thinkin'  bout the best songs of 2014. So far i think i've nailed it. There's only so many good songs out there, but lately it seems like the youngsters have got a hold on it. So let's start from #5 and work our way to #1.

5. I think we can all agree that in place number five should be, "Story of My Life" from One Direction. It's not the best song of the year, but it's certainly in 5th place.

4. In fourth place i would have to say "Bound 2" from Kanye's "Yeezus." You can fight me on it, but no one's gonna tell me this song isn't a solid four, and how about that music video?

3. In place three Lorde's "Team." Need i say more?

2. In place number two is no mystery. "Dark Horse" by Katy Perry. This song has taken America by surprise and changed the whole game. We love you Katy.

1. In spot #1... Drumroll please!!!!!!

This Beat is Too Hot Too Handle

How do you draw the line? As a DJ how do you know when a beat is THTH (too hot too handle)? It's a tough decision and i'm not sure i have a right answer for you, but i do know this. I've been so hooked on this new Drake single "Hold on, We're Going Home." This beat is def THTH. It's got all the makings of a great song and is a guaranteed must play. I consider myself the world's most versatile DJ. Why? Because who cares about the genre when the beat is good and pocket is tight? No one. No one cares.

DJ Can't Make You Dance

Being a DJ is a tough job. You've gotta call the shots. You control the mood. Wherever you go is where the people go. But not always. Sometimes you've got a killer mix and someone is sitting there throwing a pitty party for themselves or maybe their too cool for the club or too kool for kanye. Who knows. Point is... sometimes there are things that are just out of our control. Regardless, keep up the good work fellow dance instructors. That's what we are. We're unstoppable.

"Do-Not-Play" Lists

Many people would agree that the reception is the best part of the wedding, and some would say that the best part of the reception is the dancing. A good playlist and a good DJ can make for a great time. But what about those moments when the DJ plays a song that is, well.... washed up. It kills the mood and that can take quite few songs to get the taste of your mouth. So it is very important that DJ's stay on top of what people DON'T want to hear just as much as they pay attention to what people DO want to hear. For those of you planning wedding's, be sure to find a really good DJ. Check it this article that i read that names the top 36 songs not to play at weddings. Topping the list is "Celebration" by Kool & The Gang and "Footloose" from the 1984 musical starring Kevin Bacon.
