Bats set listies: House Party 2 - 090912

Just like that.

Went back to the hometown over the weekend, then rushed back to The Box Sunday evening. Though a bit scatterbrained throughout most of the club that night, I feel both were very successful endeavors.

So let's start off with that (GINORMOUS) house party set list. As with last time, I started off with more downtempo/hip-hop kinda stuff, but segued into more indie/electro stuff, hopped into the stuff normally spun at the club, then finished off with an 80s dance party.

But then I just got drunk and started playing pop music that I normally hear at Rainbow Room and mixed it up with whatever came to mind just for the hell of it.

BECAUSE VARIETY IS FUN.

YEP!

THAT'S HOW WE DO!

Bats set listies: House party edition.

I got to go back to the hometown on Friday night, after being invited to be a guest DJ for my lovely friend, Elk's, birthday.

It was a house party.



Somewhat in the same vein as that, yes.

It was a hootenanny, though, and I was very delighted/flattered by the crowd participation and appreciation. Though the theme was Russian Gypsy, I played quite the variety. I got to spin stuff that wasn't just goth/industrial! Not that I don't love the stuff but I mean, hey, variety is the spice of life, n'est pas?

Went from gypsy stuff the bellydancers could hula-hoop/spin poi to, to hip-hop people could get fresh to, to the goth/industrial I'm usually spinning at The Box, and then transitioning into more indie/electro stuff. Topped the night off with an 80s/early 90s dance party. Went to nearly 5:00 in the morning.

The only reason I stopped was because my comp's battery was in dire need of recharging. Success!

And booze.

There was a lotta booze.
