Oh wow - I had so much fun last night. I'm very proud, I was able to keep a solid intense dancefloor for nearly four hours with only a small handful of errors/floor clearers. I went on last, there were two other DJs who did brief sets between 11 and 1:30 - they weren't very good, honestly. They played mostly downbeat stuff, but I guess that was okay cos people were just arriving. By the time I went on, there was a lot of people. And yes, I am so incredibly nerdy that I kept a running log of what I played. I'm a setlist junkie, and I knew that I'd want to refer back to it. Here it is:

Michael Jackson Vs. Q-Tip/ Crossover "Extensive Care"/ Le Tigre "Deceptacon"/ Lupine Howl "Vaporizor"/ George Michael Vs. Missy Elliott/ The Beatles Vs. DMX/ Nirvana Vs. Destiny's Child/ Gold Chains "Rock The Parti" (floor clearer - aborted halfway. I wanted to cry.)/ The Strokes Vs. Christina Aguilera/ D-12 Vs. Depeche Mode/ Peaches "Lovertits"/ Beasties Vs. Britney (Crazy/Body Movin)/ Prince Vs. Daft Punk/ Gorillaz "19-2000 (soulchild remix)"/ Michael Jackson "Smooth Criminal" vs. Kylie/ Grandmaster Flash Vs. Blackstreet/ Busta Rhymes Vs. Missy Vs. Ol Dirty Bastard/ Eminem Vs. Britney/ Cylob "Rewind (DMX Krew remix)"/ Madonna Vs. Young MC/ Missy Vs. O'Jays Vs. Happy Mondays/ Gonzales "Take Me To Broadway"/ Lynnfield Pioneers "Time To Get Dumb"/ Ol Dirty Bastard Vs. Will Smith/ Chicks On Speed "For All The Boys In The World" (aborted halfway)/ Wilbur Bascomb and the Zodiac "Just A Groove In G"/ ESG "My Love For You"/ Lee Rogers "I Want You To Have Everything"/ Sugar Pie Desanto "Go Go Power"/ Billy Hambric "She Said Goodbye"/ Spanky Wilson "The Sunshine Of Your Love"/ Eddie Bo "Check Your Bucket"/ Tobi Lark "Challenge My Love"/ Fun Company "Zambezi"/ Ike and Tina Turner "Bold Soul Sister"/ Johnny Williams "My Baby's Good"/ James Brown "There Was A Time"/ Stevie Wonder "I Was Made To Love Her"/ Syl Johnson "Dresses Too Short"/ Kim Weston "Rock Me A Little While"/ Otis Redding "Love Man"/ Gloria Jones "Tainted Love"/ The Supremes "Where Did Our Love Go?"/ The Vibrettes "Humpty Dump"/ Caesar Frazier "Funk It Up" The Esquires "Get On Up"/ Rufus Thomas "Can Your Monkey Do The Dog?"/ Mike Viner's Incredible Bongo Band "Apache"/ Ronn Feaster "Don't Laugh In My Face and Steal My Man"/ Jay-Z "I Just Want To Love You"/ Outkast "So Fresh, So Clean"/ Wu-Tang Clan "Gravel Pit"/ Beasties Vs. Britney (Intergalactic/One More Time)/ Loose Joints "Is It All Over My Face?"/ The Kingsmen "Louie Louie"/ Detroit Cobras "Village of Love"/ Tom Tom Club "Genius Of Love"/ The Slits "I Heard It Through The Grapevine"/ The B-52's "Rock Lobster"/ Clinic "The Equaliser"/ Primal Scream "Shoot Speed Kill Light"

I'd actually been daydreaming about ending a DJ set with "Shoot Speed Kill Light" all week, it was nice to get it out of my system. I feel great right now - it was such a satisfying night. I danced a bit too, which was great. I'll probably be doing another party like this within the next month or two, so I've got a lot of ideas on how to improve everything about this. Oh, and I had no idea that "Deceptacon" would cause the dancefloor explosion that it did... I was actually concerned that it could be a floor clearer - hm. I'm still a bit sad that Gold Chains went over so very poorly. That really let me down.
