What do YOU want to hear the DJs spin?

Would anyone miss KMFDM's "Anarchy" if it was never played again? If a tree falls in the woods is KMFDM's Anarchy it's soundtrack?

That was a great song back in the day - but that was 1997. Hah.

I love KMFDM but there are so many other songs of theirs that are newer that have a good dance beat that could be played in place of Anarchy.

Attak/Reload (maybe)

Free Your Hate

Hau Ruck

New American Century (good dance beat, imo)

Professional Killer

Real Thing

Looking For Strange (big thumbs up from me)

Tohuvabohu

Almost anything off of Skold vs KMFDM

Just my thoughts on an anarchy replacement. :)

Back in the day was not 1997. Back in the day is 1982. :p

Like I mentioned in the other thread...

I like to hear some old school goth and industrial stuff: Bauhaus, Ministry, Siouxsie, OLD Skinny Puppy, etc

I like more recent Industrial/goth/EBM stuff: VNV, Funker Vogt, Feindflug, KMFDM, etc

In both cases above, play the popular stuff AND the less well known tunes.

And have no issues with dropping some new stuff in too. Play it often enough over a few months to give it a chance to catch on. If it continually clears the floor, maybe it's time to move onto something else.

I agree with this. As for less popular songs, there are many non-singles that are still very dance-floor-appropriate..maybe not every song on the album, but usually more than just 1.

Also moar Depeche Mode. Because you can never have too much Depeche Mode. But shy away from Personal Jesus and switch it up a bit! (Actually, thankfully I haven't heard this one in a while...but the "sick of it" feeling is going to take a bit longer to go away.)

I <3 Professional Killer.

I also <3 Mini Mini Mini, but it may be a little TOO metal for CC, dunno though they play Rammstein.

They still play some of these.

Pixies would be hilarious and awesome though. That's certainly something I've never heard. And Sisters could be played more often...:D:D

You should really get to the next old school night as your suggestions certainly fit that night a bit more. Nitzer Ebb just released a new CD (Industrial Complex) which is just as awesome as anything they've done in the past - I might focus on getting those tracks played a bit more as they could easily become as much favorites as Join In The Chant is a favorite.

242's "Headhunter" is a classic and will still see a lot of play from me. There's several updated remixes of the track that sound awesome. Which, for all reading - what do you girls/guys think of some of the newer remixes of older classics such as the Emperion or Leatherstrip remix of "Headhunter" or Muscle+Hates versions of Nitzer Ebb?

I usually hate remixes but there are sometimes exceptions. But in general I'd rather hear a good new song than a remix of an old one...and then the old one a few songs later. XD I hate when there's an older song in a genre I like remixed to something that no longer bears any relationship to the original and is in a genre I don't like. ::cough cough New Order Confusion cough cough:: ;)

Love to hear Pixies on the CC dancefloor. Hey, they've played Catherine Wheel and Stone Roses there many times before so still occasionally playing some 90s indie wouldn't be out of line, yes?

Sadly, it takes quite a bit of coaxing to get me to dance to nearly anything that's played these days, I'd either have to be in a really good mood, or completely hammered. But I figured that I'd take a quick stab at this thread.

I’m tired of hearing: CombiChrist, jockish techno, stuff like Jizzed in my Pants, one ambient trance track that spans for 30 minutes and has no real beat, stuff from the Party Monster soundtrack (I <3 the movie too, but there’s no place for it at CC, like Miss Kitten, Money-Success-Fame-Glamour), Ladytron – Destroy Everything You Touch (is played so much that it’s destroying my love for Ladytron), did I mention CombiCrap kinda stuff?

+tax, shipping, handling, cod's, etc. I'll admit to having a soft spot for Jizzed in my pants cuz it was pretty funny the first few times I heard it.....at Luna. Srsly though, that's the kinda song that usually used to get played at the end of the night to basically let all the late bloomers who hadn't left the floor yet know that it was time to basically gtfo. These days, we don't even get that anymore. Or worse, you'll end up hearing a good song that was requested early in the night that just didn't get played/noticed/etc.

Would anyone miss KMFDM's "Anarchy" if it was never played again? If a tree falls in the woods is KMFDM's Anarchy it's soundtrack?

What other over played tracks should be switched out in favor of somethign else? "Asphole" by Pigface could go as could any Wolfsheim in my opinion oh and "Admire the Question" by Out Out.

Here's a few that could be thrown out the window:

Beborn Beton-Another world

Marilyn Manson-Personal Jesus

Depeche Mode-Personal Jesus (not kidding, I'm sick of this song)

Depeche Mode-Wrong (eh...they've got other songs on this cd too ya know)

VnV-Chrome(see above comment)

Icon of Coil - Dead Enough for Life(overplayed, there are other songs that would fit instead)

Modulate - Skullfuck

Combichrist - Get Your Bodybeat

Shaolyn – Face Down(wtf)

Combichrist- This Shit Will Fuck You Up

Noisuf-X - Hit Me Hard

[X]-RX - Stage 2

Dead or Alive-You spin me(Dope cover is more appropriate imo)

Faderhead - Drrrtygrlls/drrtybois

I've got a laundry list of songs I'd love to hear, but that would take forever, so here's a few:

Apoptygma Berzerk-Shadow

VnV-Entropy

Epsilon Minus-Ocean Floor

Depeche Mode-Corrupt

Apotheosis-O'Fortuna

William Orbit-Adagio for strings

Ministry - So What

Hanzel und Gretyl-Pleadian Agenda

claire voyant - time and the maiden

Icon of coil-Serenity is the devil

Wumpscut – Thorns

...

All that stuff aside, I'd like to end by pretty much saying this.

Its difficult to get a crowd used to newer tracks and songs when you're spinning what you think would be good and trying to keep everyone happy. I personally think that it would be so much easier to, for lack of better terms, "win us over" if you could learn to actually MIX; perhaps by taking an old favorite, and before it ends, spin the new one that you know would be a good followup. But perhaps that's just asking too much.

That's my 2 cents.
