I don't listen to much jpop/kpop hits, but anything would a good bass line and dance beat.

Please no dubsteb or happy hardcore. If it's played, it should be kept to a minimum.

I would prefer this.




I can make do with the worst J-pop you can muster.


...Actually, I don't really go to the dance, but if you played more jazz and R&B, I probably would.

I know there's a bunch of people who don't want the electronic dance music, but that music type is what really sells the dance for me. I probably won't be able to go to a rave for a long time, if I ever do. Both my parents and I are paranoid about the drugs and sex side of rave culture. But at the Fanime Dance, I can have my EDM, dark room, and flashy lights without having to worry about the negative side of raves. I get to dance in a safe environment, and my mom doesn't have to worry about me.

(Note: I am in no way trying to say the Dance is a rave. In fact, what I'm trying to say is that it has all the benefits of a rave, but without the negatives. I know that Fanime Dance =/= Rave.)

I do agree that there should be some Asian pop mixed in, as long as it's well done and doesn't ruin the flow.

Why not the original Korean songs? They always sound so much worse in Japanese because it doesn't fit as nicely as the language it was written for. (And they always seem to have really thick accents, haha.)


I like the idea of having blocks of music -- a block of Asian pop, a block of R&B, a block of trance, etc., andpost a schedule ahead of time on when each block will be.You can play more of the most popular genres and sprinkle in other genres during a block, but it would make people happier to not totally exclude  a style of music.

Unless you guys already do this and I just don't pay attention, haha.

Aw man, I love beats antique. I've seen them live a couple times in oakland and san diego.

I'm composing a mix to submit for the dj application based on your responses here. How does trance/jpop/kpop/house/top40 mashups sound?

I picked other, meaning= I'd like to hear some music from anime and games. C'mon, its not that hard, just lookup Exit Trance by Exit Tunes for the best in anime trance remixes of modern and older series. I have yet to go to a dance at a con and hear something decent that matches the type of event= being an anime con.

Just sayin it'd be nice to hear some anime music there.

Okay all y'alls,

I just submitted my dj application to the fanime staff. In it, I included an hour and a half mix of all the stuff I'd be willing to spin. I'd like to share that mix here, because this thread guided me in the music selection process (so thanks guys!!!).

You can download the mix here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?d3to7v7vs2krm4q

Here's the roadmap of the musical genres that I provided for the staff:

Introduction/final-fantasy trance (0:01-6:40) ->
Anime-trance (12:30-26:00) ->
Anime-house (26:01-37:26) ->
kpop-house (37:28-47:00) ->
kpop/jpop/top 40 mashups (47:20-1:02:30) ->
Hip-Hop/kpop mashups (1:04:00-1:14:30) ->
Finale medley stuff (1:28:00-1:32:15).

Let me know what you think, especially if there are parts you don't like. I'll give you a virtual cookie. (maybe direct message me your response so we don't flood this thread with something off-topic.)

:D

ps- there's a tiny bit of dubstep in there just so I can say I played it. :p

:D

ps- there's a tiny bit of dubstep in there just so I can say I played it. :p

In the beginning, I thought, "This is nice, but not really dance-able. Needs more BPM."  Overall, the first 25 minutes seemed pretty tame. When it picked up around 26:00, I was like "Finally! I could actually dance to this!" At around 47:00, it switched to songs I knew and kind of like, but don't usually listen to on my own time. When it switched to Hip-hop at 1:04:00, you ruined your good streak with me. After about two minutes, I skipped forward to 1:15:00. If I had been in the dance room, I probably would have left at that point. The mix stopped being bothersome, but it never quite redeemed itself after that.

Don't take my critque as the final say on whether or not it's good. I'm aware that my musical tastes differ from other people's. I'm just giving my view on it. Maybe everybody else likes this style. I've only been to Fanime once, and I've only been listening to EDM religiously for around 6 months or so, so I suppose I'm still considered "new." Looking at the poll, I can see why you mixed what you did. Maybe it works for someone out there, but it didn't really have any of my favorite genre.

My verdict:
Flow: A-
Tempo: C+
Content: D
Overall: C
Favorite Part: 26:00 - 47:00



Related to the thread as a whole, here are some samples of what I usually listen to:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANI-TzTN4V0 (Manian - Welcome to the Club (Darren Styles Mix))
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJlxAv26R0s (Styles and Breeze - Weekend Has Come)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1G3qBSZKXx8 (S3RL - Pretty Rave Girl)

If I heard stuff like that, I would be happy. ^^

Yeah I can't say that I like listening or dancing to hip hop much either, but it's there for the ones who do like it and it's in the mix just to show that I can do it if necessary. And this mix doesn't have any hardcore-- something I should have considered before burning and submitting. I'll practice spinning to more hardcore tracks. This past weekend I was at a house party where this genre was played frequently. Here's your cookie!

I was just going to use this post to spaz over the kpop, but I'll try to make a constructive critique of your DJness like kookiekween did ^^ (haha, you gave kookiekween a cookie)
These are my random thoughts as I'm listening to your mix~

0:00-0:30 were okay, but too slow. I fastforwarded to around 2:00 because I didn't want to go too far and miss anything. It was still eh.. okay.
(3:50) REALLY liking it.
(7:30) HELLO KPOP! It Hurts by 2NE1! The lyrics shattered the creeping mundanity of the instrumental at the perfect time.
yay, Chobits music!
(16:00) I think if I heard this on a dance floor, I'd feel like I was dancing around in a magical place ^^ (Which I love)
This next song I've never heard of, but it sounds REALLY good, esp. in the background!
(19:58) the beat is gorgeous, and so catchy!!
(24:00) The music doesnt mesh with the background music to me.. like someone random is singing over the actual music.
Fast-forwarded to 37:28 from 30:00 because I'm antsy to get to your kpop part ;D
DUUUUUUUDE G-DRAGON HEARTBREAKER AND SNSD GENIE! You rock. So much. T__T
Never heard the next song, it sounds funny :P
(46:42) omg, amazing beat
(52:30ish) lol this might be a bit too much DJing.. it sounded like there were malfunctions with the speaker system
(1:02:00) -facepalm- >__< -gets off dance floor-
fastforwarded to 1:04:00... X[
fastforwarded to 1:07:00.. X[
fastforwarded to 1:08:00 Ooooh! But even though I listen to The Leaders all the time in my car, I honestly don't like to dance to hiphop.. lol if this was Fanime, I'd still be off the dance floor but I'd be spazzing wherever I'm sitting.
Ooo, Follow Me! YG is all over this mix, hahah. still.. I like trance better than hiphop for dancing, even if it's 2NE1 <3 I have to say though, you blend kpop and hip hop REALLY WELL!! O__O It sounds good but not for dancing.
(1:14:58) LOL!!! this song. :P
(1:15:36) Funkyyyy.
(1:17:00) Uhoh, it's boring and repetitive now XD and I dont like the song you mixed it with.
(1:19:00) hahahah, more 2NE1~ But this time I think I can dance to it ^^ this can never be a undanceable song though. it would have been interesting if you mixed it with the english version!
Haha, I expected your ending to be cleverly "DJ, put it back on"
*applause* AWESOME JOB!!

Flow: 8.8
Tempo: 6.8
Content: 7
Overall: 7.5
Favorite Part: 12:30 - 47:00 (lol, is that too broad)

Overall Comments: Youre awesome for incorporating a pretty good amount of kpop ^^ But it sounded like 70% YG artists and 30% other! (The jpop mostly sounded good to me, except that one guy singer.) You should make your main kpop song choice have the diversity of your finale medley :) I heard Sistar, Narsha, miss A, Son Dambi, T-ara, KARA, BoA <3 imo, lose the hiphop/rap. My music scale of love for the dance floor would be: kpop/jpop > trance/electronic > all other pop (gaga, katy perry, ke$ha) > everything else > hiphop/rap :P
Hope this helps ^^

Noted. Thanks for the heads up. The song uses virtually the same chords as the original which can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GaEGxukpPSs

Welcome to dubstep. I don't think I liked it too much when I first heard the genre either, but it has a real cult-like following. You now know that you don't like dubstep.

Quote
(1:02:00) -facepalm- >__< -gets off dance floor-

yeah that's lil jon for ya. I'd prefer not to any hip hop at all, but I've had to do it a few dances in the past because it's so popular here in the bay. The poll here also indicates that it's popular.

Quote
(1:17:00) Uhoh, it's boring and repetitive now XD and I dont like the song you mixed it with.

Yeah I agree with your view on the repetitive nature of this song. I think this is the chew fu remix, but I plan on creating a shortened edit.

I think there's an abundance of YG material because YG releases their accapellas and instrumentals. My favorite girlies are 2ne1 so that probably needs to be reduced. I have plenty of other non yg kpop material.

Post by: Necara on February 15, 2011, 12:31:35 PM
I would say that there was a pretty good balance of music. I love love loved the style you did for mixing Whip My Hair. That's my favorite style of music to dance to. Slap down them beats son.
Earlier the transition into Rihanna was pretty good, but the dubstep kinda ruined it, in my opinion. After it stopped it was okay, but it went on for a little longer than I felt necessary.

I felt like the Grenade mix shoud've stopped after the first chorus, and moved into something more up beat, such as a Guetta song? The one with him and Rihanna, Who's That Chick?, I feel would've been a good blend.

The I'm The Ish/Snap Yo Fingers/Black and Yellow transition bothered me. I didn't like the addition of S.Y.F. It felt so out of place, and didn't do much for either songs. Black and Yellow doesn't really do much for me either. I feel like instead of this you should've put a BPM mix. Barbara Streisand by Duck Sauce or a mix of Super Bass by Nicki Minaj would've been nice. It seems way too slow in this part.
I loved when it gets Latin, but it still felt like you could've revved it up a bit at least partly into the segment?

Mixing some more k/jpop beats to top 40s lyrics and vice versa would be sick. Maybe I didn't hear it in there but Sorry Sorry by Super Junior would've been a nice song to mix in around 1:20: or so. I also think you should mix the two genres together. It was some anime songs, then k/jpop, then hella top 40s with tiny bits of k/jpop mixed in. Mix them in together, it keeps it more fresh and fun and surprising!
I see a lot of potential in the mix, but it needs some faster beats and the genres need to be blended. Also no Vocaloid songs? Ke$ha Britney or Gaga?

And now I'm listening to the last four minutes. Why is this only at the end? This is great! You should've had this going through the whole mix! This is a great blend. You added in some Ke$ha and a tiny bit of Gaga... Please add more of this to your set! Especially that Miss A. Shit is hot.

Thanks for the awesome feedback, Necara. Your song recommendations are all ones that I have and love. In hindsight I probably should have cut the hip-hop section completely in favor of more house/kpop/pop.

Its interesting that you mention sorry sorry at that point in the mix because I did think of using a smooth house remix of that song at that point, but I decided that fanime probably wouldn't want to hear any smooth house.  :D lolz

I just found out that Yuu Asakawa did some voice acting for vocaloid. I gotta get on that.

do it do it do it do it.

A Just Be Friends mix would be sweet. I know Miku has a good dance song called Sweet Devil that isn't too well know. I know they have Luke doing Gaga covers, maybe you could blend Luka and Gaga together? Also Gaga's new song is sick, might wanna add some of that into the set too.

I agree vocaloid has so many remixes that are just really catchy, same with several other anime songs.

What would be your guys' opinions on J-Core being played at Fanime's Dance? Honestly, I'd love to see some remixes from Shimamura, Sharpnel or Jakazid being played. After all, this is an anime convention. :P

I think after this poll closes I'll create a new mix that reflects the new votes. Some J-core would be great, dui bu dui ya~?

I think the poll should have had hardcore instead of happy hardcore. The two are similar, but different enough that many people like one and not the other. Consequently, people who like hardcore but not happy hardcore are voting for other things.

I'm looking forward to the new mix. ^^

Need more actual anime and video game mixes I think >_> Plenty of great songs that we could get from places like Nico Nico Douga and a lot of mixes like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOz-T3NPtLA maybe not that one in particular but there are plenty of Touhou mixes out there.
Then for anime plenty of good stuff like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jom6IcvAgpE
Anyways more unique music! Granted some fun stuff is good too like I remember last year when they played "I'm on a Boat" and a Rick Roll or two doesn't hurt xD

Overall though Trance,Happy Hardcore is fine and my favorite House. The entire Panty with Stocking OST for example, great House music I would love to hear some songs from there. My preferred artists would RedAlice, DJ Pulse, DJ Hixxy, Daft Punk, Justice, MGMT(get some remix mashups from them there great) Super Mash Bros would be cool to hear haha.

I also third The Safety Dance, fun songs are great to have in there, Like a Boss.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCuASOAjKpo&feature=player_embedded - Scanty and Kneesocks theme.

I know I posted earlier but I forgot to say the entire Panty with Stocking and Garterbelt OST would be great to have at the dance. it's all house and dance music. But yeah would love to hear some tracks from OST's at the Fanime dance.

I'd say Trance only.

But they better play some good Trance.

I'm tired of hearing the lame modern day Armin ASOT Trance.

The schedule, DJ bios, and rules will be reposted later today. 
The second room will be all ages this year to accomodate trying out multiple styles of music (one of the more requested changes).
Since this is the first year Mel and I are heading dance we were not able to do everything we wanted, but we have brought about
some changes that we hope will catalyze a more dynamic and evolving event this year and in the future.

Trance can be found in one of the dancefloors at any time: if not in the J, then in the Market.  We have done our best to counter program/schedule based on what the DJs have indicated they will spin.  However, if they end up playing the same thing at the same time, it will just have to be chalked up as a lesson learned.  ASOT has a following and if a DJ is playing it just go to the other room.  We have brought back Happy Hardcore for 3 blocks of time, maintained the commercial and electro house blocks.  We have moved away from breaks to push Asian Pop this year.

Since many people may not know how my blend of UK Hard House differs from Trance I'm going to post an older mix for people to check out.

I love trance and house, trust me. However, I think some awesome Ke$ha, Rihanna, Kid Cudi remixes would be an excellent addition to the usual suspects.
