Beyonce - Crazy In Love and/or Single Ladies always work, as both get the attention of the women, who are quick to get on and dance, diffusing the negativity. Also, Bob Marley - Could You Be Loved.

bobby mcferrin - don't worry be happy :)

there was one on thursday and i played "Antoine Dodson - Bed Intruder" lmao.

party and bullshit... the part "and a fuckin fight broke out"

can't believe no ones mentioned the rocky theme tune yet....

Haha I've only played that track once but seemingly half of the bar sang along.

Ludacris - Move Bitch.

don't believe yourself, because i already mentioned it.

Or were you referring to "Gonna Fly Now"?
That song was not mentioned, whoops.

Actually.. that should be

Ludacris - Act A Fool.

if i want the fight to keep goin
what they gon' do- lil jon

mellow mood after
bob marley- 3 lil birds

pump the ladies up-
back that azz up

now its in the right thread ;)

Who wants a fight in a club?
So, play everything (when you start again, after the break) that calms people down.
Not too relaxing, but hell not to aggressive, you can go there, but give em 5 minutes...
Play some R&B for the ladies or some Reggae.

wicked dickie nadine sutherland n buju.... just such a feel good track

I bang out fuck the police when they show up. Hell if you play the right stuff you can literally start a fight.

play Never Scared or Move Bitch by Ludacris...LMAO just kidding. It happen to me once, I came back with some girly music that appeals to the women. Something like Step in the name of love.

What do you play after some kid breaks his arm in half at a birthday party?

I played un-thinkable by Alicia Keys hahaha

LOL

I would play the theme to "The Peoples Court" ROFLMAO!!!!

lol ok my bad, my eyes were scanning the thread for rocky

two different songs, both appropriate though!

wow... are you serious... no ones mentioned this...
I always throw it up on the screens... even if its MID-FIGHT.

such a tension breaker..Ive seen it actually deflate fights...
Watchwww.youtube.com

granted I play a video mix with movie clips.

I can't see nothing...I'm in the wrong country...what is it, Joshua Carl?

this one work?

v.youku.com

Yup, that worked, thanks! Funny, I'm pretty sure you catch almost everybody's attention, but video is needed.

I always stop the fight before it happens, from the booth if it looks like theres gonna be a fight i drop the music and tell em if anyone starts shit im playing "techno" for the rest of the night. Bystanders tend to get involved and calm everyone down when you throw that one out there

haha. props on the youku site Josh. I love that site. Get tons of stuff you cant in the US.

I made a mistake and played "Bottoms Up" by Trey Songz... "tell security we gonna tear this club up, bottoms up"

Hit me baby one more time! or
You gotta fight for your right to party ;o)

Why cant we be friends

If one of the guys fighting gets knock down:
"Get the fuck up, simon says get the fuck up..."

Pat Benatar - Hit Me With Your Best Shot

Im gonna try that next time.

Tina Turner - Whats love got to do with it

If it's a couple fighting:
frank sinatra - love and marriage

I've gotten laughs dropping Brooke Valentine's 'Girl Fight' ...esp after guys were fighting

i like to play knuck if you buck while they are fighting

i dont stop the music anymore, it brings more attention to the fight, but once after a huge fight i played this is how we do it which obviously is a big record anyway but it got 100x the reaction since it was kinda funny

lol, I would have tipped ya for that. Classssssssssic :)

the thrill of the fight....

New contender:

Lil Wayne ft Eminem - No Love

"Baby don't hurt me"

what about Annie Lennox No More I Love Yous

hahahaha

I've played Journey - Don't Stop Believing and Alicia Keys - You Don't Know My Name... Both started fights, somehow.

My crew, Klutch Beat, always plays our homie DJ GREG J's club edit of Leona Lewis - Bleeding Love. That track never fails to start a fight. Its real hype the way GREG refixed it.

Slam - Onyx

Journey, starting a fight. WTF?

Guess they didn't like how the Sopranos ended.

I didn't.......... LETS FIGHT!!

u can always use any of my crafty samples from my battle tool!

Watchvimeo.com

Frickin love that movie!!!!

Anything by Taylor Swift...

Cypress Hill - Insane in the Brain :)

More like Cypress Hill - How I Could Just Kill a Man

People will dance to that?

Don't you mean: House of Pain - Insane in the Brain
Cypress Hill - Jump Around :)

(I just downloaded both off of Limewire yesterday morning)

They became good friends after that!

i do the exact opposite, a threat with rnb or hiphop usually calms things down very quickly ;)

Watchwww.youtube.com

"This video contents material of UMG and is not available in your country."
I hate that, that sucks, it's like always somebody post a vid, I can never watch it!

Shes got good teeth for a Brit.

What happen? Couldnt get rid of the lip flap? Ha

Sound of the police - KRS 1

We Are The World

I got a good one:
"All we are sayyyying, is give peace a chance"

Sounds like: show me some love, which is pointing straight to Robin S - Show me love

LOL Fight last week started when I played Axwell - Nothing But Love

^Next time pull out: Heavy D - Nuttin' but love - for more variety

Cypress Hill - When The Sh*t Goes Down

I spin mostly (Prog.)House/Breaks in my "village" of a city, but there's always a time for some classics in situations like this... :D



Heh, same happened to me this summer. Damn anebolic steroid yuppies going at each other. Looked like pitbulls in heat. Funny to watch...

Need to get my hands on the dont be a douchbag accapella

Marilyn Manson - The Fight Song (̾●̮̮̃̾•̃̾) ̿ ̿ ‘̿’\̵͇̿̿\з=(•̪●)
Watchwww.youtube.com

Chicken dance while fight is going on trust me it fucks with people and they dont concentrate on the fight anymore

^LMFAO!

wow. that takes the cake right there. Imagine that. I am totally playing the chicken dance next time.

hahaha

Anything Beyonce usually fixes things up, such as "Put A Ring On It". Diffuse the situation and negative vibe by getting all the girls back on the dancefloor. Again, Depends on your venue/

gotta really blast that chicken dance to use your airhorn sound fx and cause its like 95 or 96 bpms i think, you can mix in alot of good hip hop tracks into it lol

knuck if u buck lol

The Benny hill theme song.

naw, that's for during the fight...

michael jackson - heal the world

Didnt read the whole thread! So Apologies if that has been posted, but y go to after a fight is Sinitta - So Macho ! Watchwww.youtube.com

LOL always makes the punters laugh and diffuses the situation!

i made it worse by playing m.o.p aint up remix and the whole spot went nuts drinks every where i got into it by the time i play
dmx ruffryder anthem it feel like every body was fighting and that was the end of it good thing it was about 1.20 am had about 40 min to go
da man was mad at me he told me i shouldnt play anything couse they was trying to get everybody under control but the min m.o.p was on they couldnt control nobody thanks god nobody got hurt i wish i wasnt that drunk maybe icould handle da situation much better

At my bar gigs I've been known to use Divinyls - I Touch Myself
youtu.be

I also drop it for Bachelorette party dances ontop of the bar.

"I aint never scared"

Playing this is like playing Ante up or Ruff Ryder's Anthem, you'll make it worse/keep the fight going.

I like to start riots ahaha

Just go to "hidemyass.com" copy/paste the youtube id and watch it.

tupac - hit em up

Well... I got my start DJing at a club that used to be known for having fights. So the responsible part of me wants to say that you should a) probably not kill the music during a fight because that draws attention to it, which is bad, and b) if you DO have to kill the music because management insists, you should immediately go into another floor-building set full of the tracks that get the females back on the floor.

Now that that's out of the way...

Pantera - Walk
Limp Bizkit - Break Stuff
D12 - Fight Music
Onyx - Slam
DMX - Ruff Ryders Anthem

This is too fun... :)

Wow, that's some amateur BS, right there. A qualified manager would NEVER have the DJ stop the music when a fight breaks out. The proper way to handle it, is to get the situation under control as quickly as possible without ever drawing more attention to problem than absolutely necessary.

Regardless of how big the fight is, there will always be at least some people in the place that don't even realize that anything happened. When you completely stop the show for a fight, you immediately draw everyone's attention to it, and you also send a message that you don't now how to handle the situation properly and discretely.

I really don't want to go into a long explanation as to why the venue should have as few people aware of a fight as possible, but if any of you really need that explained, try googling something like "nightclub operation 101".

If the venue that you spin at has a "stop the music if a fight breaks out" type of policy, I'd recommend sharing this post with the boss.

Yo Quality made a track a while ago on his soundcloud account. It's not the chicken dance, but it's that goofy song that always comes on during those fast (on foot) chases from old shows. But it's a pretty sick remix, if I get some headphones while I'm at work today I'll find it and post it. I have yet to have a fight break out in the club (or at least that I was aware of), but I feel like it would be the perfect track to joke around and get people back to dancing

this guy knows whats hes talking about

Man, I used to work at a couple spots that would kill the music, call it a night, send everyone home (usually around 1:45-2:00, but before last call even). Then, of course, there would be fights in the parking lot, police cruisers, etc...

I would beg and plead to the managers to let me keep playing, switch to some RnB or slow jams even, but they wouldn't have it... worst. management. ever.

Watchwww.youtube.com

That's because at a certain point, they aren't making any more money AT THE DOOR, so there's no incentive to continue, when they can "go home early".

Do a nice scratch set with Let Me Clear My Throat:
"hit... hit.. hit.. hit me.. hit.. hit me.. hit... hit... hit... hit me with the horns twenty..."

Agree, never stop the music unless it turns into a major fight with several people in it.
After the fight, will often play a few seconds of Kung Fu Fighting, Macho Man, Barney, something humorous rather than inciteful. For an open format, Kiss by Prince is a good jam to get the ladies back on the floor. Funky, mid tempo, and has a cold ending, allowing you to go anywhere musically after that.

Alot of places if the fight is under an hour of closing they just kill the night... Pisses me off.

Thank you (well over a decade in the nightclub business).

best after fight song ever...well at least in NY Watchwww.youtube.com

What was that Akon song that was on Fight Night 2? I think it was Akon.....

Fight Night Round 3...my bad. I use to love this game!

Watchwww.youtube.com

Easy, Snoop Dogg - Down for my Ni**as

Cool, learning alot from you guys. The humorous tracks are a good idea for like 30 seconds then switch into something or something dancing.

Hard ass beat [nh] - i know it from here tho Watchwww.youtube.com

Everybody Was Kung-Fu Fighting or theme song from Rocky
