man thats a short list even with the extra regional stuff

lol anyone else think culture 2 gonna flop

you're a legend

I almost tried Motorcycle Patches last week. Just got a Clean version...maybe I'll give a whirl.

Pills & Automobiles hitting harder than anything here. Also Crumbs-DRAM & NBA Youngboy GG remix

Pretty much every song that is being killed on the radio

It's plenty songs that still work, but most of them are just played out at this point. I still hear Bodak, Bad & Boujee, and even Mask off. Only song I NEVER hear that was hot last year is "Black Beatles."

I still play Black Beatles a bit. But the fact of the matter is that older songs are working more consistently these days for me, especially with open format gigs.



All solid.



Not working.

Bruno Mars ft. Cardi B "Finesse"

This one might be major due to the video, and adding Cardi to it. I tried the regular album version several times, and it just never caught on, but I think it will at this point.

^ Dude, I just came here to ask StylesD why Finesse was being pushed on DjCity (I saw it the other day even before the Cardi B remix)

This song is a couple of years old now. I play it all the time (even made a House Party video for it) but so random.

yeah, i remember when people were talking about it on this thread, i have it in at 11/30/16

I caught that and said yeaaaa, he must be releasing it soon as an official single. Good that he could space his singles out that way.

yeah, was just saying compared to the last few years, not many club bangers that are fresh from the last 1-2 months.

Its interesting that so many people are releasing full length albums that are actually listening albums and not a collection of a few singles with filler tracks around them.

Yo just wanna say thanks to @R-Tistic for keeping the thread going all these years. It's so helpful to see what peeps in other cities are playing.


Been getting really good reactions to "Stir Fry" and "Lemon" and I love both of these.

Are we just not going to mention big shaq - mans not hot?

I think Mans Not Hot might depend on where you live even though it was a hype internet meme. Up in Toronto where UK stuff has seen alot more acceptance than anywhere else in NA it has alot more longevity I feel. Here's the stuff that's big for me up in Toronto.

Drake - KMT (still)

Bodak Yellow

Baka - Live Up To My Name (If you ever come to Toronto do yourself a favour and download this)

Mans Not Hot

Bartier Cardi

Motor Sport

I Get The Bag (still going strong)

Pills and Automobiles

Rake it Up

Booty

Patek Water

Magnolia (still gets great reaction)

No Limit

Pain Jane

it's cuz technically it's a new remix. it was most likely a label decision to throw cardi on it and push again with full marketing treatment.

either way it's a huge success for them. song is everywhere.

i haven't played it out yet but will try this weekend. im assuming by next week or two everyone will know the video and song and it'll be playable in the club.

I played Jeezy - Cold Summer tonight as a request towards the end of my set and it went over pretty decently.

Ran across this hip hop-rnb mix, will like some insight ....was this made in a DAW? If it's two/four decks + a mixer ?

www.mixcloud.com


Happy New Year!

Tracking as usual 4/5th year in a row.

Yeah it's a studio produced mixtape. Ragoza (formerly Construct) is super dope... Checking in for '18 cheaa

Out here in Okinawa, Japan. They still love Bad and boujee, Fucked up some commas and

Subeme La radio from Enrique Iglesias

Danza Kudoro (never fails in every gig)

Formation-Beyoncé

Hmmm, maybe not - I just listened to a little bit while shoveling snow. It may not be a studio/DAW mix or even a 4 deck mix.

On Facebook (and even here - serato.com ) Ragoza has been selling his ACCA In/Out edit packs - plus he's on Crooklyn Clan.

The support I have been getting on my packs is absolutely amazing! To show my appreciation, I am sharing this 2 hour opening mix with everyone free of charge. I hope you guys find this to be useful

Oooops.... But then again - Yep - it's DAW - from his Facebook page: www.facebook.com

This is the part I hate... Once I drop this, you will never have to DJ before midnight again!

First sync and now playing other peoples mixes for HALF THE NIGHT - Does anybody actually DJ ANYMORE???

LOL

LOLOLOL

I was about to sell all my gear lol at the awesomeness of the mix [if it was done on decks and mixers]

i will just retire because that mix is on Ultra level, in and out and not one error or misplaced cue.

the lack of scratching...not even a baby was what got me thinking.

still its a brilliant job, must have taken a wee while to arrange.

mfers just taking them out of their own jobs.

you can play the mix twice for free instead of paying a dj once. smfh

I had to stop making mixes in abelton. It is addicting especially if you are a perfectionist, and you become more concerned about making a "perfect" mix. I think a DAW mix makes sense for certain scenarios, but I've learn to appreciate flaws and the ability to adjust on the fly. Fight the temptation lol....

Agreed

Of topic but I wanted to know if there was a similar thread for electronic music? Especially trap and dubstep?

Thanks

make one, probably needed

It is almost 4 am where I live so I am going to head to bed now and make it in the morning. In the meantime, if you have any suggestions for this list feel free to reply.

Cheers

tracking

yea I played on NYE but besides that I havent played in since like last September I think

Man I'll make it but I know this forum doesnt have really have their ear to street on dubstep, riddim, drum and bass and other EDM genres but sure lets give it a try.

If you are doing it please share a link when you make it

New banger in L.A.:

Saweetie - "Icy grl"

That's the correct spelling, too. She's from Sacramento/The Bay/L.A., and it's over the Khia "My neck, my back" beat. No changes in the beat, either, but she's just flowing on it. Video is fly too

boom www.djcity.com

also the new TDE single off the Black Panther soundtrack is a MONSTER and I guarantee will go.

www.djcity.com

Has anybody tried "Left, Right" by Casanova feat. Chris Brown? Has potential. Also I feel like "Set Trippin" by Casanova has the potential to be this years "Ooouuu" and "Bodak Yellow".

Derez DeShon - Hardaway

I see you R-Tistic...all up on Issa Rae’s IG 👏🏾

Yes, big up!

Mula by Zoey Dollaz Ft Lil Wayne
Come Outside by K Money (huge song in Toronto now. Drake is a huge fan of this song as well)

Anybody checked out :

Ron Browz ft. Lil Mama - Throw Them Bowz

It's Pretty Decent if you have a crowd that likes to dance.

My dawg by lil baby gettin some attention recently

Aha! Man they went hard the whole party too

Anybody getting a good response from those SZA Weekend remixes: Calvin Harris or Redrum, or Zikomo? The redrum went off for me the other day.

This has been popular for a few months for me

Depending where you live and what your crowd is like, KEKE by 6ix9ine, Fetty Wap and A Boogie

The new Drake songs - "Diplomatic Immunity" and "God's Plan" are decent. Played it last night towards the end of the night and the reaction was decent.

I'd be shocked if God's Plan didnt become a hit

Fire track right there! I'd play this for a Hip Hop crowd.

I feel like it'll be a typical Drake hit...it'll be big for a few months solely because it's Drake, then it'll disappear and we won't hear it much after it passes it's prime.

this thread is slackin - theres hits out there

Name them!! LOL

I'm waiting for this YG ft. 2 Chainz to drop...might be a problem.

Pretty much...

New Migos is a banger for the clubs. Supastars slaps hard.

I thought Filthy was going to be hot -- at least in the earlier hours or to go with Lemon. It hasn't really caught on, but it's not bad.

I played Filthy last week and didn't get any reaction. I haven't really heard it on the radio either. That's fine by me, I hate playing JT tracks. The track will probably get request after the Superbowl.

Migos ft Drake -Walk it Talk will be huge

I'm gonna co-sign the Drake x Migos song even though it's awful, it'll work in clubs cause no matter how drunk you are you can sing along.

Also off the Migos album though, Bad Bitches Only is a good one.

Agreed. I need the Clean version of BBO. I found the Drake song and a few others dropped today in the pool. BBO is the hottest personally but the Drake joint is getting buzz in the streets first.

A track picking up from the underground wave from an artist from Houston and a Artist from Akron, OH

Velliano & Benjimims - Can't Fold
Watchwww.youtube.com

I assume this one will go too. Hook is kinda meh though...

'walk it talk it' cleared the floor for me on saturday lol.

2 weeks and everyone will be requesting it.

Woooow! I'm not at all shocked...it's not an instant banger at ALL.

Plies "Rock" is taking off in the South.

2nd That one! Rock by Plies is pretty big in Ohio now

First time I saw that video I knew it was gonna be a big song. I just hope that dance doesn't catch on though.

Can never go wrong with Plies..also that track is a great way to transition to do a throwback 3-6 mini set

DJ Mustard & RJ ft. Rae Sremmurd – Hard Way

A cool early vibe L.A. track. Sounds like a lighter version of "Want her"

Black Panther Soundtrack has a few potential bangers.

For The Bay and L.A., "Paramedic" from SOB X RBE ft. Kendrick is surely gonna go the hardest.

The track "King's dead" with Kendrick, Future, and Jay Rock is gonna go hardest everywhere else.

Blocboy JB ft. Drake "Look alive" is about to be huge

Derez Deshon "Hardaway" dropped last year, and I mentioned it in October, but it just hit the Billboard charts, so it might be breaking through Nationwide.

Rich The Kid ft. Kendrick Lamar "New freezer" actually got a bit bigger from that challenge/dance they have for it.

Got some local cats here with their EP. They have 1 particular track that'll be a banger.

Well it is over here in NZ right now.

SWIDT - Conquer

lol

I played First Day Out remix - Tee Grizzley ft. Meek Mill with a great reaction on the east coast. i got good reactions with the original but better on this one.

Designer - lil pump is a hit too

Yep, def the same beat as "I'm da man" from D4L

Anything Blocboy JB worked for me last night.

NOW u rockN, homey!!! Word from an old head, the mix is great, but even perfection itself ain't perfect... Flaws keeps it human which is always a better party... Unless the dj just sucks, of course :)

"Plug Walk" went off last night in Shanghai. Much better response than "New Freezer".

"God's Plan" was the biggest track of the night. Most people already know the words.

Decent responses to Migos "BBO" and some of the other tracks on the Black Panther soundtrack like "X" and "Redemption".

great results from this track last nite

I was going to say SZA - The Weekend (Calvin Harris remix) been goin off for me especially early getting girls on the dancefloor. That new joint he did with Party Next Door got next too I think.

I think these new Rae Sremmurd tracks are bangers but they haven't really hit yet. Post Malone - Candy Paint is getting mixed reactions too.

All The Stars off Black Panther has been highly requested and working better than I thought.

Gods Plan is the climax of any night right now.

I'm spinning out in VT right now though so who knows haha

portland?

I don't think theres a Portland in VT but I'm near Portland Maine haha. Burlington, Vermont though

oppps, i you're right, my homie just moved up there so i was confused.

was hoping there was something to do up there. i do work with a chick from VT, must have got confused

Which new Rae Sremmund tracks? T'd up?

cool keep em coming

man I really like that track and it has *never* worked for me, except as a vibe builder early in the night.

Kendrick Lamar & SOB X RBE - Paramedic (from Black Panter Sdtk)

Goes HARD in California, and DJs from other cities are saying it's getting decent-good reaction for them so far.

Believe it or not this new Bow Wow - Yeaahh is hitting

Yo, speed up that Migos ft. Young Thug Coccoon, the shit was all the way live last night in the A!!!

Rae Sremmurd - Powerglide for sure

no one knows about that song lol been playin that for a min

was big down here early last year

So, this DJ Khaled ft. Future, Beyonce, and Jay-Z "Top off" isn't a good song at all. Typical-average beat, and the hook sucks. But women LOVE Beyonce's verse. I played it Saturday, and they literally knew all the words already.

i like the common pic RT - when mr. sinister was his dj, they had to be one of the best live hip hop duos of all time.

Top Off sucks, it's like they time travelled to 2012 and tried to make a trap banger.

Stopping by to co-sign Plug Walk tho, it's been requested at basically every party I've played in the last two weeks.

maan I hope this record sticks........!!!!!

I like the addition of Meek Mill on the remix. This track already has that "Dreams and Nightmares" feel

It err....but I play for the crowd. Waiting for the video to drop....last I saw there was only a 1 minute trailer.

agreed. I felt the same on the build up.

i'm digging this track

I got a cool reaction in the Bay when I dropped RJMRLA - Is It Mine feat Ty Dolla $ign

Exact same experience I had -^^^^

The Race by Tay-K is a crowd favorite with the "Ratchet Teenager" crowd. There's a re-mix with 21 Savage out there too.

What bpm did you speed it up to?

Yeah I'm not saying I won't play it if someone requests it, but fuck it's just not good. Like Future's hook is hype and aight but then Jay's verse starts and it's like bruh this trap music thing isn't for you mate.

For those who use videos at gigs:
Lil Dicky feat Chris Brown-Freaky Friday could work.

I agree Top Off is trash. Don't think it'll come close to the impact I Got The Keys had

Funny because "I got the keys" was really just decent, like a 7.5/10 at best, but it had so much hype that it became a hit. This is a 5/10 at best.

Big Boi ft. Kelly Rowland - Mama Told Me..... Yo I took a gamble and played this for the over 30 crowd and the dance floor was packed down here in Tampa

139 BPM

That's wassup! LOL

Bruuhhhhh, Old School DJs like me look at that shit like a sign of disrepsect. Why DJ if you aren't gonna fucking mix? smh

DJ Stevie J feat Future - Stripper seems like it might be usable.

This track is from 2012, right?

How has Migos & 21 - BBO (Bad Bitches Only) worked for yall? Mixed reaction to say the least here

Is definitely a banger!!!!!!!1

Yes!

complete dud for me. I use the Kidd Spin edit which starts with the 2chainz "it's your birthday" chant from Birthday Song but after that, shit falls flat af. I don't think I'll be playing it anymore...

I think walk it like i talk its gets better results

Ive found most 21 Savage songs lack a certain energy the crowd needs. Like even when I play bank account it hits the system all weak people just know the words.

Agree with the 21 Savage comment. It works at the end of the night but all of his songs just fall flat at peak hours.

agreed. that's why I literally just play choruses when I play this new hip hop.

DJ Esco x Nas x Future - Walk Thru

Nice banger!

So A lot of music dropped this week. Weeknd, Esco, Cardi, Rich Tha Kid.... Any standouts?

Personally I think the DJ Esco tape is solid

has anyone tried "every night" by kool john? came out a few years back but a steady banger

Thanks, this is why I asked about BBO. Has all the makings to be a club smash but it just hasn't worked that well for me

Weeknd album is way too low key for club play.. maybe we'll get a remix of something that can work but right now theres nothing for late night as far as I can tell

Esco is the usual really sparse beat stuff that can be hard to get a crowd into. I feel like we gotta look at the hooks on these to see if anything sticks.. My bets would be on Walk Thru or Showed You but I'm not pumped enough on any of them to try it unless they start to get really popular

Cardi single is mellowish but has some sing-along potential. I'm gonna give it a shot tonight.

Rich the Kid album has plenty of tracks that could be hits. My bets are on Drippin (ft Chris Brown), End of Discussion (ft. Lil Wayne) or Early Morning Trappin (ft. Trippie Redd). Interested to see if these can break through to mainstream but I think they bounce enough to keep people dancing for the time being

Bruh....that track is a success down here in Tampa

Lil Baby & Moneybagg Yo....All Of A Sudden -Decent response.
Scotty ATL - Ratchet -Decent Response

Ill play these again to see how they go this week. So far, the response was decent.

What do y'all think of YG - Suu Whoop?

I played this last week, but it was worse than i expected

I like the Rich the Kid album. Gonna test it out on Saturday.

For Weeknd, "Wasted Times" might work for warm-up vibes. A more club-friendly Weeknd feature might be Trouble ft. Weeknd, "Come Thru"

Anyone tested "SAINt JHN - I Heard You Got Too Litt Last Night" in the club? That melody is infectious and the chorus is easy to sing along to. Played it late last weekend at a non hip-hop night. Folks were into it.

I can cosign the Saint Jhn track, I played it the other night and people immediately caught on to it.

saint jhn had a pretty cool track last year called 3 below zero -lil slow but it may work in some sets

I play this track occasionally if there's no gangbanging in the clubs.

Do you guys consider this stuff Hip-Hop & R&B? I mean, if you're under 35 I can understand but I'm referring to my O.G's.

Yes things change. This is the hip hop sound, might not be your sound, but its the hip hop sound currently.

Its gone from

hip hop ya dont stop, wave ya hands in the air
to
100 miles n running mc ren i hold the gun and
to
first off fuck ya bitch and the click you claim,
to
everytime i come around ya city bling bling,
to
you can have whatever you like
to
that car im driving make u feel some kinda way
to
plug walk, i dont even understand how my plug talk
to
sending shots shots shots shots shots everybody gettin pop pop popped


I feel theres a cycle in there, to me the 80s stuff relates to the simple rhymes of the 2000s, the 90s player stuff relates to the migos/drake style, and the 6ix9ine stuff relates to the gangster nwa/onyx styles.

Check out Radio Base Bless The Bottle. Its been pretty regional out here east of l.a. but hey recently released a new version with too short. club has been going nuts to it for 3 years. it goes pretty hard out here in the west

Big reactions to...

"I Like It" by Cardi B
"Sumo" by Denzel Curry

Decent reactions to...
"Nice For What" by Drake (played it twice during a long set - second reaction was bigger. Gonna be big.)
"Money Bag" and "Bickenhead' by Cardi B
"NBAYOUNGBOAT" by Lil Yachty feat. NBA YoungBoy
"Brxnks Truck" by Rae Srem

"God's Plan" already losing steam.

Gonna toss another Saint Jhn joint into the discussion. God Bless the ratchets is a banger too I think.

Played that Cardi B ft. YG - She Bad in the strip club last night. Everybody for feelin' that track

Not at all bruh, I wish better upbeat R&B came out that I could spin the club. I'm not feeling 75% of the new shit that drops........most of the shit sounds the same, but hey, my opinion don't matter as a DJ, ....what matters is the dance floor

Thank you for this. Definitely sounds like its got potential

Nice for What prob gonna be the hiphop/crossover song of the summer and maybe year at this point

Def "Nice for what" from Drake.

Cardi has like five on her album that might be big in the club. "Bickehhead" "She bad" "I like it" "Drip" even the SZA song.

K Camp - Racks Like This

New nicki joints gonna hit hard

Proud - 2chainz & YG
Up 1 - Yella beezy
That’s on me - Yella beezy
Freestyle -Lil Baby
Nice for what - drake *Bangger*
Almost every new Cardi B song lol

These are some songs I play here in Texas.

Young Thug ft. Lil Uzi Vert - Up

Idk if they were too new over the past weekend but no one knew what to do when I played them and I am in NYC.

Personal opinion, she's can deliver better.

so, i was talking to the prom committee.....all teens and one adult. they said just play bangers from last year cuz nothing decent has come out this year. SMH

Sounds about right. I was going through my 2018 Hip-Hop and R&B hits crate and realized it's pretty empty so far. Very few major hits.

LMAO. I did a party Sat and I looked at the songs that I've played and hardly any of them from 2018 was highlighted! LMAO

Actually same her smh and when I did play new shit unless it was drake or cardi people gave me the wtf face

My new music crate is pretty much Cardi, Migos, and Drake.

the problem is if you dont break new music, how you ever gonna play new music?

This

With these kids I've learned that it's best to stick to the shure shots. And a lot of the new underground songs that they like are not even available for purchase. You can only get them on youtube or try to get or rip them from soundcloud. And the crazy thing is they don't even care about the quality of the sound. As long as they can hear the words and feel the bass they're as happy as a Trump supporter at a Flat Earth rally.

Man you guys must work in some shit markets cause 2018 has provided some great stuff this far. Here's some favourites.

Drake/Blocboy JB - Look Alive
Migos - Walk It Talk It
Migos - Stir Fry
Rich The Kid - New Freezer, Plug Walk
The Whole New Cardi B Album
Saint Jhn - I Heard You Got Too Lit Last Night, God Bless The Ratchets
Young Thug - Up
BlocBoy JB - Rover
Smokepurpp - 123
DJ Esco - Walk Thru
G-Eazy - 1942

Oh also

MIgos - Migo Pablo got some decent reaction the other night.

Got some reaction to ATM - J.Cole the other day..

this thread used to be so far ahead of the game....

in the 90's i loved to bring out stuff that no one heard of....and the audience did too. but you don't do that outside of the club. all the parties and weddings need songs folks are familiar with.
I have found the club has gone that way as well. too many kids these days with ADD

it's push and pull. give them what they want and mix in what they need. if you're confident, mix it in right, and you really love the track – and most importantly, it's actually good – it will usually work. Especially when you have regulars that trust you and get hype. Some crowds are really difficult though, for sure.

"Ooh La La" by Tinashe got a good reaction last night. People know the Nelly sample.

Decent reactions to "KOD" by J.Cole and "T'd Up". Peeps were feeling the new Nicki jams.

I can't get with G Eazy but Yo Gotti is great and that "1942" beat goes hard. "Now" by Yung Thug and 21 Savage has potential.

Anyone tried dropping anything from the new post malone album? I'm about halfway through the album and most of the stuff is a little bit to slow for the clubs.

Half the crap folks are posting here are too slow. As I said before, it is for folks on the dance floor who can’t dance, are still holding their drinks and are instagramming at the same time.

Isnt that the new normal?

1. Crowd full of too tight clothes and lots of flannel goes wooooooo when a song is dropped.
2. 32 seconds later they are back on their phones.

:P

Precisely. The new generation is all ADD

Cherry Lounge -Dj Webstar track gonna be a summer hit

A tad monotonous

Ron browz and fatman scoop like it was 08

LMAO! So friggin TRUE!!!!!

Things have truly changed.

I went to Atlanta last weekend, and I barely heard ANYTHING new that isn't already being played in L.A. The songs I heard that I didn't know were just regular-decent, nothing that would become big out here. I feel like everyone is getting the same music the same day now, and regular folks who don't DJ hear them the same day we do.

I went to a super Hollywood spot my folks do called Murano...and this was really how it was. I even felt the crowd was more engaged before 12, which is backwards...after that, they get excited for 10 seconds when a new song drops, then they completely tune out of it.

The crowds that actually party still do party for real, though.

Track is def a banger

as someone that does open format but have always relied more on rap that pop. I feel like a lot of ppl that used to play edm or more pop based open format are now starting to play all hip hop/rap and while technically solid or better, they dont really know the genre.

Since they don't really know it, were never headz or part of the culture in any sense, they just dont get the concept of breaking music or even what to look for if they were gonna try.

I guess those guys played 'dont stop believing' for 10 years, so playing some the same ole shit is pretty normal to them

Pretty much.

Man I use to play alot of EDM in my sets but now I can really only get away with like a 5 min segment during prime time so Im basically playing hiphop and bunch of stuff with the reggaeton dancehall vibe to it Im finding some really good jacking housey type tunes around 120-122 bpm work really good on the Top 40 turned urban crowd who dont really know the genre.

This the hiphop thats working in my area

NBA Young Boy - No Smoke
Outside today - NBA Youngboy
Through the storm - NBA Youngboy
Famouse Dex - Japan
All the new J.Cole joints people want to hear

and everything else already mentioned here some of this stuff I never heard of

Sheck Wes - Mo Bamba

This song is so sick!

wasnt feeling that at all, but a young guy played it recently so i knew it must be hot

I'll co-sign Mo Bamba.

I'll drop some of these into the discussion.

Lil Baby & Gunna - Sold Out Dates
G-Eazy - 1942 (this is basically Magnolia lite but I still fuck with it)


I find that with hip-hop nowadays, you've gotta be quick with your mixing. There are songs you can let play out but you can't do it with everything. People don't know alot of the raps so at prime time, you're likely dropping a chorus, into another chorus, into another chorus and then letting a really big tune play out.

I'll also note that I'm blessed and live in Toronto where I can get away with playing at least an hour of Dancehall/Afrobeats/Soca every night.

Royce - Caterpillar

Fuck the club this ones for me. :)

Ella Mai - Boo'd Up

Been out a while but really picking up right now...

Honestly this, lots of songs only get a chorus outta me at this point.

Watch - Travis, Uzi, Kanye

Rae Sremmurd - 42

i see this, but i think its more when you start to dj for the club owners and mgmt that really want the energy level high. Personally I think it rarely works for long periods of time. i can see some 10-15 minute sets but all night, especially with late nite classics it seems like you can let at least a verse play. As i've been watching(part of mgmt) guys play lately more closely, it almost like the dj gets caught up in flipping things too quickly, when really they could lay back and let the groove ride. But mgmt does like it. Prob too many dumb bar convention seminars by dipshits from middle america that watched DJ AM in the 00s

Yeah this is true too, it takes a truly good DJ to manage the flow of a night properly. Anyone can play the 30-45 minutes of prime time bangers. It takes someone really good to work it up to that point and then hit it at the peak point of the night (preferably about 30-45 minutes before last call) so that the bottles really start to fly. Then once you've got people in your hand you can bring them down with deeper cuts, some older classics etc. because they're already in the vibe.

2018 Peaktime Songs here in Germany at the U.S. Clubs

Post Malone ft. Swae Lee - Spoil my night
NBA Youngboy - Outside today
Rich The Kid - Plug Walk
Blocboy JB w/ Drake - Look Alive
Migos - Walk It Talk It
6ix9ne - Gummo (still)
Drake - Nice for what
Migos - Supastars
Rae Sremmurd - Powerglide
Lil Baby / Moneybagg Yo - All of a sudden

And for some reason a lot of people request Meek Mill - Dreams & Nightmares and go wild when it drops (that started like 1 year ago).

Yella Beezy - Up One Remix ft 21 Savage
Sah Babii - Understanding ft 21 Savage
Guap Tarantino - This That Shit

New Playboi Carti album tonight "Die Lit" at midnight. Hopefully he'll have a couple certified club bangers on it.

Played a 90s gig the other night, soooo much fun. Towards the end started throwing in newer shit for the younger people that were still there, but not too trap/mumbly. These went off well, not the newest shit just something different for a change:

Phonte - So help me god
Cardi B - Get Up 10
Czarface & MF Doom - Dont Spoil it
Flatbush Zombies & Jada - Facts
Raekwon & Lil Wayne - My Corner

Poke it Out - Playboi Carti & Nicki Minal

Esskeetit - Lil Pump

Carti Album is out, I'm banking on one of these becoming a bit of a hit.

Choppa Won't Miss
Fell In Luv
Shoota (the beat takes a while to drop but with a good MC/mic game I think this could be this could be a smash)

The Visuals funny AF!!! LOL! I mess with it tho!! I don't think I'll play it often.

Co-Sign....Ladies LOVE THIS SONG!!!!

Nice choice. We need some more dj like you

that new drake and lil baby gon take off

My kind of gig!

I just crossed a reply that said Derez Deshon - Hardaway. Song goes hard. it actually became part of the soundtrack to my life.

*Much appreciated bruh! These are def. hits!!

JLo feat Cardi and DJ Khaled going to be suer requested for the top 40 / pop rap guys.
cant say I love it yet

Who You Came With (Clean)
Ray J ft Chris Brown & Young M.A.
Being from Brooklyn I want Young MA to win
And Breezy in his zone with these west coast type joints.
Feel like it will flame fast though

I miss this one...yeah this the banger. Caught it last weekend.

Drake & Lil Baby - Yes Indeed

Maybe I haven't been out enough but I haven't heard it in circulation. But I can see how it would be apart of the summertime hits.

Tee Grizzley - 2 Vault (feat. Lil Yachty)

Thank you for more addition to a blazing summer. I'll be sure to check it out.

Drake & Lil Baby - Yes Indeed

I cosign this one. My crowd was on it

Now that ones growin on me.

Doeshun - sacrifice

I play this on the early tip

That

Tee griz and Chris brown - set the record straight is a problem too

Taste (Ft. Offset) by Tyga

Waiting to see how this will do.. been noticing in general bpm wise things are speeding up

Yeah they are. Seeing alot more trap beats but sped up to the 80-96 range now. Atlanta is still pumping out 120-140 though.

Lil Baby - Freestyle

tyga taste ft offset definitely a sumer anthem
also clout by ty dolla sign is a bagner with the ladies

Just wanna say, this forum is like the best one for me come to for new music. Also, to add on, DigitalDripped.com is a great source for finding the newest and hottest music too.

Man, the biggest new track in L.A. by FAR:

YG ft. 2 Chainz, Nicki Minaj, and Big Sean - Big bank

LA loves yg

Jeremih ft. Ty Dolla Sign "The light" - A smooth Summer banger!!!! Samples that Keni Burke "Keep rising to the top" just like Mary J. did on the "Love no limit" remix.

Kamiyah ft. Schoolboy Q - Addicted to Ballin

I think DJ Mustard about have another hot streak..

Yeah man.

And for my crowds, "Boo'd up" is the biggest song out, overall. It's rare that a R&B track this decade has went so hard at the club.

With the way music's dropping, this summer is goin be crazy!!!! At least 3 albums just came out this weekend, like Bey and Jay, Nas, and Jacquees . And there's more to come. Ohhhh, How do I keep up with all this music?!?!?!?!?

i cant imagine anyone caring about the new nas

Nicki Minaj x Lil Wayne - Rich Sex

Man, I'm fuckin with that one so hard!!!! I did a blend with that and this song from Atlanta Called dick dumping and it was certainly a crowd pleaser.

Me neither, but I went thru Apple music in search of June's pop song and he came up.

too much ADD with the younger crowds. i have a better time doing the high school gigs though instead of the clubs.

LightskinnedKiesha - Believe Dat

1playy- Nascar

21 Savage feat Drake and Sex - Issa

Lord Fubu - Nights Like This

G-Eazy - Drop (All his songs sound like something else that released recently and was hot.)

TK Kravitz - Ocean (Its been big in ATL but I'm not sure if it's out of the city yet

This one is supposed to be Booty I guess

French Montana x Remy Ma - New Thang

Def sound like Booty, but it will get the ladies moving.

That new VVS joint. Sampled from 504 Boys - I can't tell....it vibes. Got a gang of people on there too.....Derez Deshon, Money Man, Verse Simmonds, London Jae and some others.

Anybody seen the Jersey Club remix of Boo'd Up by DJ Taj in any pools yet???

Watchwww.youtube.com

Shit is Fire on top of Fire if you can play uptempo sets....

heavyhits have it for sure!!

I haven't seen it but I reached out to him to get it.

Oh this is dope! Hard to find

What are we liking for the clubs on Scorpion early on?

‘In my feelings’ to get things popping off. I’ve got a lot of TRAPMONEYBENNY and Key! tracks in my bag so that will flow well for me.

@R-Tistic You want me to email the clean & dirty track to you? I have both.

Yo never new about this forum till now but here is a cool treat, not exactly 2018, more like 2017 little gem, get's a great reaction on hip hop nights.

Squad - DJ Jack of Spade


Lemme know if it bangs in your city too!

Drake In My Feelings is going crazy right now..

Is it just me or does all the new artist commin out of Atlanta sound the same?

It's not you. Even dudes from NY are sounding like them.

YES....I hate when a good song gets like this...people will run it until you cant even play it no more....ugh!!!

To add insult to injury, I'm from tha A. And its almost discouraging because it's like once you heard one, you heard em all!!!! Which makes it hard to wanna fuck with the music there, but it's obliviously what the people want.

Also, at one point, I was proud of the influence the South had up there but even then, even with me being from the south, I still wanna hear that NY sound cause I know they still got it.

Hell even with that being said, Tha A don't even have an original sound anymore! It feels like these artist nowadays are tryna crossover to go pop and Hollywood too soon. But who am I to talk? Im just a newbie DJ.

Regardless, I can go on about this all day tho.

The Carters - Apeshit
Higher Brothers & BlocBoy JB - Let It Go
Sheck Wes - Mo Bamba (Mentioned above, catching on now)
Rick Ross ft. Future - Green Gucci Suit
Diplo ft. French Montana & Lil Pump - Welcome To The Party
Jay Worthy & King Most - Westside Party (for BBQ / daytime vibes)


And I really like this Lil Reek album. Speaking of Atlanta artists, his production is on some different vibes.

Who is Montana 300? Is that someone I should be up on?? Someone requested a track from his lst friday but I didn't have anything from him.

The homies!

This track is great.

did you ever get that lndn drgs lp? really good soundcloud.com

yams was on it before he passed

So good. Love the production. Also the G-Worthy EP produced by Cardo.

And for new club trax, Meek Mill - Millidelphia is a banger.

Chicago Rapper. Hes known more in the midwest but he doesnt have any nation wide hits

Rich sex by Nicky, Green Gucci Suit by Rick Ross, Cash on it by OT, Apeshit by B and Jay, In my feelings by Drake works good in the middle east, Imma play Millidelphia this weekend, I think its gonna be litty

.

Just checked him out. Like someone else said "the dislikes are from the fire department. it was too much work for them to fix"

This guy is fire. 100

Watchwww.youtube.com

Bruh I had to play it twice this weekend. Once mad early in the night cause people were literally asking for it non stop then again after midnight.

i got the can 'u play it again, we're leaving', 15 mins after it was played.

which is still the worst request game ive ever heard -- you're leaving, but play a song as i walk out the door....

Yeah that's a great release. G Perico and Jay Worthy on the Cardo beats is a great combo

LMAO!!!

I tell them, "you got Spotify, or Apple Music? Ok cool, just leave now and play it in your car if you wanna hear it now."

Wiz Khalifa ft. Problem - "Gin n Drugs" is gonna get some love in L.A. if nowhere else. Hoping it'll be National though

6ix9ine Feat. Nicki Minaj "FEFE" is a banger! I've already gotten multiple requests for it.

Yo Can you shoot that clean and dirty to me too?

I'd like a copy of this track also.

Extremely West Coast, and actually from last year, but it's just gaining traction.

03 Greedo - "Rude"

Is it just me or has this year been filled with bangers! (in "mumble rap" terms of course). Man I remember looking back between 2015-late 2017 and finding stuff to play was a real struggle!
It would be just one banger in the midst of a bunch of fillers...

Now you have the likes of Payboi Carti, Blac Youngsta, Blocboi JB, Baka Not Nice, Tekashi, and lots of other guys at least putting out songs that keep the crowd busy for a few minutes at a time, lol.

also... Shy Glizzy- "GG Worldwide" has my crowd going nuts

Also Tyga "Swish" is gonna be just as big as "Taste".

Never thought we would be witnessing a Tyga comeback but here we are

Right? "Taste" gets a surprisingly big reaction.

Rico Nasty - "Countin' Up" is good on a NORE vibe
The Internet - "Roll (Burbank Funk)" on the warmup tip

From last year but still relevant: Ty Dolla $ign - "Pineapple"

following

Hmmmm,,, One of pools just posted a "Remastered version" of Drake "In My Feelings"

DJs and Programmers: please replace all versions of this song with this remastered version, per CM/Republic Records.

Sounds like they EQ'd the Bass out - if you have the original - hold it tight.... lol

DJ Khaled, Bieber, Quavo & Chance - No Brainer

I'm The One Remix basically but it'll work

Who's been playing that Lil Yatchy x Kardi B x Offset 'Who Want Smoke'?

Migos & DJ Durell - Hot Summer. Nice little summer banger in the 90 BPM range

Zero reaction. Sounds like another song that wants to be a classic Three 6 song but isn't as good.

Meek Mill - Dangerous

What do you guys think of this one?

I'm thinking it will get some radio play in the fall.

k’ron ft. ty dolla $ign – no bfs


m.youtube.com

sheck wes mo bamba is a hit with the younger crowds. it really gets people goinng

Lil Baby Feat. Moneybagg Yo - All Of A Sudden

G Herbo - Who Run It

Tekashi 69 Feat. Nicki Minaj - FEFE

Lil Baby ft. Offset - Transporter (hood crowds)

YNW Melly - Virtual

Have you got a good response for any of the songs from the new meek mill album?

Also what are you going to be trying out from the new Travis Scott album?

Future & Zaytoven - Mo Reala
Yellow Beezy - That's On Me
Lil Duval & Snoop Dog - Livin My Best Life (Smile Bitch)
Slim Thug - Peaceful

And from the mac miller album too?

Stargazing seems to be a go after two nights

My initial go to from the Travis album is No Bystanders

I'm really liking no bystanders for the clubs

Drakes part on SICKOWORLD is gaining traction. Him and Tay Keith producing is an instant hit like nonstop

Like mentioned before Sheck Wes- Mo Bamba is definitely picking up steam

I also think that in the current environment for club hip-hop NC-17 might work. If Lil Baby -Sold Out Dates can be a hit so can this.

Old in Atlanta but Gunna has worked his way up and is huge in DC now with songs like Oh Okay and King Kong

here ya go...

ybn nahmir and wififuneral -juveniles

Do anyone have any recommendations for and club banger of different genres such as pop, Latin, reggae, etc?

Stargazing was the song that stuck out to me on Astroworld for the clubs. Also Drake Sicko Mode and No Bystanders

I specailize in Latin

Te Bote Remix with Bad Bunny, Ozuna, Nicky Jam and a few various artists is really hot right now. Basically anything Bad Bunny or Ozuna will light up the club. Ozuna and Tory Lanez got a banger out thats more dancehall then latin called "Pa Mi", good for a mixed crowd. Another one along those lines is the J Alvarez/A Boogie With Da Hoodie joint, forgot the name at this moment. Anuel AA and 6ix9nine got a reggaeton joint that hasn't been released but is probably gonna do big numbers due to the current popularity of both in their respective genres.

Thank you, I'll check these.

What are you guys feeling from that New Nicki album? I'm sure "Barbie Dreams" and "Sir" will be popular nationally. Anything else on there to keep an eye/ear on?

swish by tyga

Playboi Carti - RIP

Is anything sticking off the Nicki album?

^ Good Form maybe

Played and zero response I thought it was just a twitter hype song for a day and that was it.

"Barbie Dreamz" might get overplayed, but it's big with every crowd bc even the old heads love it, due to the sample/remake.

"Big Bank" STILL owns L.A., much bigger than every other song that's out, by far at that. "Swish" is picking up for sure.

People allllways request "Lil Baby" but the entire crowds usually don't respond as well in L.A. as they probably do in the South, outside of "Yes indeed."

I never thought about this with women back in the day when Dreamz was popular, but its really funny watching dudes sing all the lyrics to Barbie Dreamz.

These days I play nothing but Bhad Barbie from the time I show up to the time I leave.

Wavyy Mob FT. Tory Lanez "I told you" has that 2014 Dj Mustardish thing going, played the hook only the other night and the ladies were receptive.

Good call on this. Definitely works.

Other new tracks getting good reactions:

Nicki Minaj - "Good Form"
Quavo - "W O R K I N M E"
Young Thug - "Tsunami"

got a link to hear that track?

mobi.soundcloud.com

Yes it does. Not sure if that's a good thing though. It's an okay song but it just sounds like a generic filler song.

Definitely, thats why I only play Torys part, best part of the song.

Young Thug, Gunna & Lil Baby - Chanel

Just curious, is there a thread for commercial/POP music?

nah, but you can make one, might be a good idea

Lil Durk – Home Body ft. Gunna & TK Kravitz
Ella Mai - Trip
Jacquees - Trip ( Quemix)

you are kidding me right? today's music is just monotonous crap. when i do parties, i try hard to steer away from anything new...because they clear the floor.

don't get me started on the most commercialized and overplayed genre of reggaeton. it is so bad that it seems Prince Royce and Romeo Santos can't come up with any new Bachata so they can cash in on this terrible genre. Now there is a new genre called Salsaton...where they make a seemingly nice Salsa song and then suddenly throw in a reggaeton beat in the middle of it to screw up the folks who can actually dance. i have to actually review every salsa song now i get from my pool to avoid those. when folks come to my Latin Night, they want to dance, not swing back and forth holding their drinks in one hand and tweeting with the other. i play very little Reggaeton during the night.....maybe 15% at most.

Must be an older crowd lol because people in their 20s will dance to reggaeton. You may not like it but remember you dj for others not yourself

Roddy Ricch - Die Young

Some new "bangers" that get good reactions for me

69 - FEFE
Gunna/Baby - Sold Out Dates
NBA Youngboy - Outside Today
Cardi B - Drip
Moneybagg Yo - Bigg Facts
Sheck Wes - Mo Bamba
G Eazy - Drop
Drake - Nonstop
Travis - Sicko Mode
G Eazy - 1942
Kendrick - King's Dead
Rae Sremmurd - Powerglide
Tyga - Taste

There's lots of new stuff working imo

go away old dude, you suck

Nope, I just know what really works for a floor.
I want my floor hopping.

yeah but you are on a military base in Japan not a club in the States.

you only come here to talk shit about mainstream rap/r&b which is not helpful to the people looking at this thread but really makes no sense in general.

if it clears your floors, then dont play it, simple

Haven’t seen much R&B on this forum.

I'm confused as to why you're even tracking this discussion lol.

Easily confused eh? Last year this discussion actually had some good input. But last year was a better year. For music.

you did the same thing last year or at least had the same sentiment

Dear "Old" and angry DJs: If you really think today's music is that bad just quit DJing, playing in clubs that require you to play newer music. Simple as that. Music has evolved (for better or for worse) and it will never be the same as in our "glory days". I've been at this for 24 years in different parts of the world and found myself heading down the bitter old DJ path. Had to step back for a while make a decision to either quit or embrace the youth and their music. Why are you even tracking this thread if you think the music sucks? Serious question.

Now back to regularly scheduled programming.

Wow. So instead of taking a criticism of music as is, you resort to name calling. But if I told you country music was awesome, you guys would still bitch and do name calling. It was so easy to distract you from the theme of this discussion. The ADD is strong in you.

Yes, I think most of today’s rap music is crap. But I am a hip hop purist since I first heard it in 1983.
I know music evolves and as a result, as a DJ I have to evolve with it. I do proms, homecomings and lots of other teen events so I deal with it greatly and I overcome. I still think it is crap, but now I have to mix crap. I still get the job done I am paid for.

I follow this thread for two reasons, every now and then something good comes out of it (but sometimes DJ city doesn’t have it yet) and I just never got around to unsubscribing.

Now that I have successfully derailed the conversation, time for y’all to get back on track.

^^^^
Not name calling at all hence the "". I am also an "old" DJ. I fully admit that.

The problem is that this isn't a thread to criticize today's music. That's where a lot of take issue. We are all trying to call hits and figure out what works in our respective regions/counries)

(PS I think a lot of country music is awesome :) )

Ok. I am cool with that. And I promise to get back on topic. I haven’t had much to offer because I have been stuck with Latin Nite, Country Nite, Old School Nite and Electro Nite and then there is the sports bar. I am DJing 4-6 nights a month and not playing anything that would go to this list.

ayyy R-Tistic...are you feeling insecure? (:

Sheck Wes - Mo Bamba *i was unsure about this at first, but crowd went nuts for this one

can't get anymore rachet than MoBamba. lol but the crowds vibe sells it for me.

I need to create "MUSTARDISH" as a crate. There were like 15+ songs that had that feel to it. Would make a good opener set also.

but its kinda of nerdy white hipster kid anthem

lol..it reminds me of the KNOCKED UP dice song or Hustle and Flow's - Whoop That Trick.

ive been playing 'chippi chippi' a bit, kinda bangs but i can play a little left of center at my nights

True. Ladies seem to like this one.

LOL,I actually have a DJ Mustard crate that I often refer to for opening sets.

anything off the ybn tape?

do share the the track titles if you dont mind. I have to start making sense of all my music and need to start somewhere.

Know my name, Want her, Right left, Party, Whole lotta luvin. are some of the key ones

Some of my mustard esque songs that usually work since we're discussing it

Kid Ink - Show Me
T-Pain - Up Down
Omarion - Pose To Be
YG - Who Do You Love
Lil Dicky - Freaky Friday
Chris Brown - Loyal
Tyga - Rack City
YG - Big Bank
BoB - Headband
Tinashe - 2 On
Trey Songz - NaNa
Ty Dolla Sign - Paranoid
French Montana - Don't Panic

I only let the hook go on a bunch of these

to add to those ^^ tinshae 2 on, goin crazy rich the kid & migos, anything by yg basically

nice lists guys but do you feel Don't Panic and Who do you love has that mustard feel? I feel anything that sounds like Loyal is a mustard vibe.

Also there are these that might make the list:
Adrian Marcel - 2AM. ft. Sage The Gemini
Omarion - Im Up

there's a lot buy you also reminded me od back up off me by Dej loaf and who you love was produced by mustard so its gotta have the vibe

make sense....didn't know he produced those.

So was "Don't Panic". lol

Kanye West x Lil Pump
"I Love It"

Jonn Hart x Too Short
"Whistle"

Yella Beezy
"On Me"

Gashi x French montana
"Creep on me"

😀

Kanye and Lil Pump song cleared my dance floor twice this weekend

"2 On" is really a modern classic.

Not Mustard-vibes but really feeling this one:

YoungBoy Never Broke Again ft Kevin Gates & Quando Rondo - I Am Who They Say I Am

Great instrumental with the sped-up Ashanti acapella over a modern bounce beat. Actually quite similar to "Nice For What" in that regard. Would probably go well together.

"Chippi Chippi" goes hard. Really wanna see Sheck Wes blow up.

Loyal and I'm up got produced by Nic Nac.

he also did
Sean Kingston - Beat it
Ray J - I Hit it First
Chris Brown - Came to Do
Chris Brown - Ayo
Similar vibe to Mustard for sure.

and more recently did that new DJ Khaled no brainer track

2am was too underrated for me didnt get enough play.

im seeing a few tracks, dont know why YBN is hitting harder in the streets

im so producer illiterate!

For us canadian DJs Killys tape drops tmrw so stay tuned ill be posting what tarcks in think will be club worthy

LOL yea you definitely jumped the gun with that one, right now its a good early warm up song to play with Attention or No Brainer and such. Honestly don't know if it'll ever take off especially in this 'Trap' era.

What's Good ya'll anybody have any recommended playlists or references where I can find top/popular high school songs being played at dances (homecoming, etc.) Got a possible gig coming up and wanted to catch the vibes.

Any assistance?

Anything is appreciated. Salute!

Djcity pool charts, clubkillers pool charts, bilboard, spotify charts are helpful too

Killy - Anti Everybody

Chris Brown & Sage the Gemini - Buss it. The got that mustard vibe goin again

Loving this thread. I'm building crates now off of these recommendations. Just an FYI from a an old DJ who really needs this...it would be helpful to have your recommendations associated with a city and crowd age. After I've been here a while I'll probably know who plays where but for now, I don't. Thanks to everybody for sharing what you know.

flipp dinero - leave me alone

Lil baby and gunna - drip too hard

666- Yg ft. NBA Youngboy

Sir- Nicki Minaj ft. Future

Gimme that work- Baka Not Nice

I'm a dog- Baka Not Nice

No drama- Tinashe

January 1st- Young Thug

hate to say it and you're gonna look creepy but you literally have to hang out in a teenager party......what these charts say and what these kids actually like is two extremely separate things.
or bring a teenager with you to pick out songs and be a liaison between you and the kids, their extremely annoying.
they spend more time requesting songs than partying.

trust me, EVERYTHING listed is music for a 21 year old crowd. thats just new music.

eh id say 18 -25 just know your crowd and if a 30 yearold demo for example is going to a hip hop club thats poppin its expected theyl know most of the music

pretty much what I meant but yea you explained it better

FYI, it also goes by the name Bad Little Bitch in case some ask for it by that name

Damn G i didn't know that appreciate it! will come in handy this weekend fo sho

Pardison Fontaine Feat. Cardi B "Back It Up" has potential. For people who like to throw some Latin in their set, 6ix9ine Feat. Anuel AA "BEBE" is getting pretty big. French Montana got some new bangers that I'm gonna try this weekend.

Just heard the new French songs. I feel like "Nervous" has the most potential, has that southern club feel but "No Stylist" is gonna get the most radio play because of Drake of course.

Tyga- dip, swap meet

Thoughts on the new Wayne?

Co sign. Especially "Dip".

SWISH, Dip, Taste. All by Tyga, all slappers.

Gucci Mane ft. Bruno Mars & Kodak Blac - Wake Up In The Sky

Dance floor got packed her in Tampa playing this slow jam

DJ Q

Its official Tyga has made one of the greatest comebacks I played all of his tracks on fri n sat and they packed the floor w ladies and of course, the gents followed

Drake is Ripping it right now for dance music , Future has a nice joint also Blue Racks

in central florida

tyga is killing it right now

Song formula reminds me of Crew, but when I read that Bruno produced the track as well as setting the hook ablaze... It's crazy.

Weezy Back but not sure which songs will be Club Bangers yet.

I don't see any Wayne tracks becoming HUGE, but a few will get play such as "Uproar" and "Let it fly." "Start this shit off right" is probably my favorite, and it could become more of a radio hit than in the club, but that usually means the club will like it once it's hot

+1 woudlnt play yet will probs kill ur floor

Damn i remember back in 08 you could never go wrong playing him or the young money team.

New Lil Wayne shouldn't kill your floor if you play it right.

A big part of DJing is dropping new heat before people hear it everywhere. "Open Safe", "Hittas", the track with Snoop, "Uproar", and "Let It Fly" all worked solid on Friday.

Also good reactions to...

"Wake Up In The Sky"
"2 Seater" by DJ Holiday, 21 Savage, and Quavo
"Live SheckWes Die SheckWes" (it's older but he has hype now and this goes harder than "Mo Bamba")
"No Stylist"
"Jumpin Out The Jet" by Ocho Sneak
"Jefe" by T.I. and Meek Mill
"Vengeance" by Denzel Curry ft. JPEGMAFIA

Uproar def did NOT kill the floor this weekend.
One of the perks of recycling a beat I guess.

It’s funny Mo Bambi is JUST starting to catch traction up bere, only took 15 months.
Crazy for a 20 minute 1-take track.

Ha! Bambi!
I hate you Siri.

Checks thread,

Peeps still complaining about new hiphop

Get new ratchet tracks for the wanna be ratchets

Smiles and laughs at how nothing has changed here

Closes thread

chocolate rain by tay zonday still kills it

checks thread sees someone complaining about people complaining on thread LOL

Since some people aren't sure if a song in the thread will do well with a "younger" crowd. Below is my list of new songs that I know personally the "youth" enjoy.

How do I know this, you might ask. Because I'm at the Rolling Louds and underground shows with them, and these are the tracks the DJs play in between sets, that hype up the crowd.

(Released in 2018)

Ocho - Fuck It Up [R-Tistic, I believe the rapper is from LA, so I wouldn't be surprised if it does well out there.]

Comethazine - Bands

Comethazine - Walk

Lil Mosey - Noticed

Juice Wrld - Lucid Dreams

Juice Wrld - All girls are the same

Smokepurpp x Murda Beatz - 123

Lil Uzi - New Patek

Sheck Wes - Mo Bamba [

Sheck Wes - LiveSheckWesDieSheckWes

No Jumper feat Tay K & Blocboy JB - Hard

Famous Dex - Japan

Travis Scott - SICKO MODE

Zack Fox - Square Up [Would give this a couple more months to blow up]

(Not released in 2018 but are huge and still being played)

Lil Skies - Red Roeses

Lil Skies - Nowadays

Ski Mask The Slump God & XXXTENTACION - Take A Step Back

XXXTENTACION - Look At Me

Tay K - The Race

Obviously, this is not a complete list, but should hopefully help a a lot of DJs in here.

Since some people aren't sure if a song in the thread will do well with a "younger" crowd. Below is my list of new songs that I know personally the "youth" enjoy.

How do I know this, you might ask. Because I'm at the Rolling Louds and underground shows with them, and these are the tracks the DJs play in between sets, that hype up the crowd.

(Released in 2018)

Ocho - Fuck It Up [R-Tistic, I believe the rapper is from LA, so I wouldn't be surprised if it does well out there.]

Comethazine - Bands

Comethazine - Walk

Lil Mosey - Noticed

Juice Wrld - Lucid Dreams

Juice Wrld - All girls are the same

Smokepurpp x Murda Beatz - 123

Lil Uzi - New Patek

Sheck Wes - Mo Bamba [

Sheck Wes - LiveSheckWesDieSheckWes

No Jumper feat Tay K & Blocboy JB - Hard

Famous Dex - Japan

Travis Scott - SICKO MODE

Zack Fox - Square Up [Would give this a couple more months to blow up]

(Not released in 2018 but are huge and still being played)

Lil Skies - Red Roeses

Lil Skies - Nowadays

Ski Mask The Slump God & XXXTENTACION - Take A Step Back

XXXTENTACION - Look At Me

Tay K - The Race

Obviously, this is not a complete list, but should hopefully help a lot of DJs in here.

you only forgot ned flanders

thats a good list but not all of those songs are known in the clubs to get reactions from those songs theyre gonna have to be 18 to 23 and sorta ratchet imo. especially bands ive known about that song since it dropped w cole bennet and ive never dared to play in any clubs

Sadly, A good chunk of the under-23 do not differentiate between club ready and youtube playlist.
its all to the same. They don't need energy, because its all about social media engagement and the songs on Rap Caviar for the last 5 days that they have the first verse memorized,

imo, I think it's great. We are now in an era where the shelf life of a "hit" is much shorter, especially for younger crowds. This means as DJs we are constantly being exposed to new hits that we can play for our crowds.

hits? you mean a song that hits radio 3 months aafter its been poppin in the club then gets overplayed leading to people complaining lol

all the songs except for mobamba, sicko mode and Japan & maybe hard if its a good day. those are the club songs from the list, everything else is more undeground and what I usually find my self playing at house parties and frat parties.
esepecially tayk lol he slaps in the car but in a club not really, there is a difference in music

tayk is from my area so i played it for a while earlier this year, its starting to play out of the rotation

it was poppin when his case was on the news all the pools had his tracks, hes died down and ybn nahmir took his wave

if you ever are in austin, mo bamba is a go probably forever

Drip Too Hard is getting the biggest reaction from new songs for me. Definitely a hit

That’s been my biggest request over the last 2 weeks ^
Even the white boy polo khaki club askin for it.

Lil Baby feat Drake & Gunna - Never Recover (DEFINITE BANGER)


random song I ran across on Instagram -
Megan Thee Stallion - Hot Girl
(same NO Bounce beat knock off like Plain Jane & No Limit)
No cleans yet but I hit her management to see what they gonna do because the song is going viral.

what's a radio?

im not a robot

Coi Leray - Huddy

" radio killed the radio star "

Folks get their music from Hashtag dance challenges now. Lol

just peeped it, females is coming up

her and nimic revenue are some new faces

Probably the biggest ratchet track out right now. Crazy energy

That Megan thee stallion is destined to blow up

maybe at a strip club lol way too ratchet for mainstream club puts carti in the dust for vulgarity

he played at UT so its really big. i played an all white christian frat UT frat (w no drinking) last week and they lost their sht.

mo grandma

barter 7 just dropped and then disappeared

Shek's Kyrie is gonna murder up here. #Celtics

this thread poppin rn

"Drip Too Hard" is huge right now. Anything try "STOOPID" by 69 yet?

Lil mosey - yoppa

Drake went Spanish ... with Bad Bunny
A la’ Bieber.

Video is smooth.
Here come the “that drake reggaeton” requests

if u like girls u like reggeaton

Snake/Ozuna/Cardi/S. Gomez - Taki Taki?

Track is ok but video is pretty nice.

Also Drake + Bad Bunny - MIA (got a new video).

track is plain no energy nothng like te bote, but maybe it will get radio play only will stand out in latin clubs

The best part about the white girl reggaeton.

Will you play some reggaeton.
-Sure, I always do, what song
Ummmmmmm gasolina?
-ok so, 15 year old reggaeton? Got you.

(I still play that shit every week ...lol)

Mia & Taki are gonna be solid for while.
Personally I’ll lean to a 100bpm edit to get a bit more shake out of it.

im sure devile will do a re drum so ill get that when it drops i havent checked ckyet might already be done

Plies ft. Kevin Gates - All thee above
Gonna rock that tomorrow

kodak black zeze got that taste/swish vibe cause its produced by da

Zeze gonna be a hit for sure

snippet was better lowkey

all these names...SMH

fefe
taki
zeze
tati
keke

^Hahaha I thought about that too. LELE and PEPE coming up next


Listening to Quavo project the songs that sound like they have club potential are:

Flip The Switch (feat. Drake)
Keep That Shit (feat. Takeoff)
Fuck 12 (feat. Offset)
Swing

I'm sure they won't all stick and I didn't enjoy the album that much but these were the ones who stuck out to me besides the singles

they all trash

The night didn't even start and "Zeze" was requested all the time. This gonna be a major hit. Also reaction to "Stoopid" from 6ix9ine was wild. A good ratchet song is "where the bag at" / City Girls. This song rocked it definitly.

Zeze disappointed me badly

snippets always sound better

everybody tryna ride the reggaeton wave

Quavo - Give It To Em ft. 3 seconds of Saweetie

I really like this one. Played it yesterday and it got zero reaction which was a shame, but I'm going to give it some time.
I played Bad Bunny ft. Drake - MIA which I really thought would be a hit with the crowd, but ended up being pretty minimal. However hearing the track outside of the video I realized how boring the track was lol. To me ZEZE got the best reaction of all the new stuff.

dj casper- cha cha slide still poppin in old people clubs

ur trying too hard buddy.

I played it at homecoming and it was a hit. Timing is important tho

I make a Google survey and sent to the school dance POC. Works well but some requests are freaking nuts!
I am a good judge of what works so I use my own judgement a lot

Whites are the biggest consumers of that stuff. If white folks didn’t buy it, these bands would go bankrupt.

you know it is

Mandatory at every party I play. My go-to if the dance floor thins out. I get requests to play more than once.

some usher or akon throwbacks will get it packed again some florida low too, those are all good ice breakers add some 50 cent to that too and ur golden

i'd quit if thats what got my dancefloor poppin. those are wedding jams

damn you dont play pitbull either then eh? you dindnt get that i was hinting at people suggesting to play the chacha slide in a " hottest rap/r&b club traks 2018 edition " because its a club banger

i don't know whats that means, but no, i dont play pitbull.

dj jaycee likes to troll this thread and how tell us how much he hates the music but he plays at a military base in japan and is 50 years old.

ZEZE = disappointment,

but the Tyga taste mashup slaps

here: Watchwww.youtube.com

trying to find the quality audio.

togas pretty solid nowadays. ive seen "dip" mentioned here a few times too.

One, you are a retard. My name is right there for you to see but you can even spell it right.
Two, calling folks a troll just shows your lack of maturity and lack of vocabulary.
Three, I have played in more countries than you. Top that.
Four, I am 45, and I will probably be DJing long after you quit cuz all you can do is the club scene.
Where I can do that and everything else. You’ve been DJing what, 6 years? I started in ‘89.
And five, at least I can play more than one genre, and mix them all too. You probably don’t even know the difference between the types of Salsa there is out there. (Quick! Go check google just to “prove” me wrong).
I don’t troll anything bitch. I follow. Cuz every now and then some of these guys come up with some great suggestions and they are helpful instead of being a dick like you. Learn to be nice to your fellow man. Being an asshat doesn’t make you cool, it just makes you an asshat.

Very true. But then I am off topic. I am referring to the party scene. But I do get those requests when I play the club on base. Just a different kind of customer base here. I am not sure how well a request would go over in say, a New York club. Haven’t played a US club since 2001 in Dover DE.

lol. Some folks are kinda slow.

not slow just ignorance. its just since your in this thread your expected to be- a hip-hop only dj. obviously I don't play pitbull or many o these songs unless its a throwback night or something. that being said those songs do get good reactions at the right place and the right time. I my self-am a hiphop dj but can be open format. just prefer hip hop but i don't dj at any oopen format clubs in my area. But he is also right those are wedding and private fucntion songs. I just wanted to hop on the off topic train too lol

Here I have no choice. I have To be open format because the customers change so much. Beginning of the nite they want reggaeton and at the end they may want only trap. I love playing sports bars. That way I can mix every genre. I am really close to my audience so I can get a feel quickly about what they want to hear next.

u mad bro?

btw ive been djing since 96 and ive been getting paid for it since 2000,

troll as in you come in, bitch about the music about every 3 weeks, then give wack suggestions then bounce. its not aptidda level trolling, but basically its trolling

Hey guys,

Please observe the rules and regulations of the forum. Can't have that kinda language and vibe in here.

Regards

Nah bro. You mad. You started the whole thing by attacking me. This is an open forum. If I don’t like most of the new music I have a right to say so. But I don’t attack others because of their opinions. That’s where you made your mistake.
I don’t follow this site exclusively because I have 3 jobs. Too busy to follow every site. I ignore half the emails that tell me there is a new post here. Obvious you don’t seem to be busy enough if you are on here every day. So Why don’t you man up and apologize for attacking me in the first place. We are supposed to be helping each other here.

And to all the others, I apologize this thread went so off topic, but I won’t deal with jerks who have nothing better to do than be keyboard warriors.

And I will end this with a banger that hits hard here
I love- Joyner Lucas

Sorry mistype.
It’s a banger that’s gonna hit hard here.

bro you're too sensitive. i just said you troll and you're losing your head.

i work at nite, i have no kids, i have plenty of time.

you're the one getting all butt hurt and attacking me insinuating im not working because you have 3 jobs. who cares if you have 3 jobs.

the odds of me apologizing for anything are zero. so keep waiting and enjoy those wedding and the cha cha slide

fax ill never apologize to anyone on this forum

jeez this forum aint really friendly. got hip hop police and everything...im gonna just go bump zeze at a hood gas station see what reaction i get.

Thoughts on futures and juice wrld album? any standouts?

Fine china went over ok...
I haven’t tried anything else off it yet.

oxy - future n lil wayne

future was coo in 2015, mixtapes were fire 2011-2013 slowly losing interest.. juice mane juicer is just plain. id be surprised if he dropped something more noteworthy than lucid dreams...

Future & Juice WRLD ft Nicki Minaj - Transformer

I Love - Joyner Lucas

Yup. Said that 3 days ago. As soon as the first bars dropped I knew this would hit hard.

This thread has officially gone to shit.

More opinions than track suggestions. 👎🏿😑
