Looks like we’ve been booked for a party with a theme of ‘Fantasy Folklore Freakout’… any thoughts on what i might play disco/soul/house/funk wise?.. they’ve not made it easy!
Rick James all night long. Endless Thriller remixes. Nah just play the latest good shi**. ‘Theme’ is mainly for the outfits surely.
Yeah, i would see it like that too. Just thought it can only help if there’s one or two things they can hook onto…
some actual dancefloor funk so u don’t get bottled for playing chuggy balearic while everyone is trying to get lit and laid:
A pal played Dancing in the moonlight - toploader, at midnight once, after a night of deep cuts. Worked well. If you dare.
Think this fits the brief personally
Heard this played on the stroke of midnight at a NYE night. The place went crazy.
mesmerising track ![]()
Loggins and Messina Pathway To Glory ![]()

It’s the Stairray To Heaven of prog psych yacht folk chug
You might get lynched but if you can hold them to the drop it’s a banger….
Still goes down a storm, nothing new here. I have a ‘no disco, no house, no techno, no electro’ etc NYE house party to play (flyer above) going to push the brief with this.
Oh, I’l second leave anything ‘scene’ behind for another place, nobody cares.
A bit of a Fela freakout weapon from the Hubbabubbaklubb dude if things tend toward afro at all:
They’ve given you a wonderful free pass - go for it!
Used to find that the actual midnight tune isnt as important as everyone is hugging +celebrating. Just need something with a distinctive opening.
Track 2 is where it gets their attention and it goes off. Get that right and you’re good for the next half hour.
