Shadow's Weekly Picks: Upbeat Endings

Welcome to the first weekly addition of...
Shadow's Weekly Picks
.


In these weekly segments I'll be sharing any music which I have come across and enjoyed for whatever reason(s) or have implemented into our mobile entertainment.

To start it off I'll share some of my favorite songs that I like to end upbeat parties with:

1.
Song: Sweet Caroline (Techno Remix)
Artist: Angelo Venuto



This is a great song to pull out at the end of any family oriented party. It's a song that everyone knows the words to and satisfies both the tastes of young and older guests. Some adult guests prefer the original version but unless specifically asked to play the original, I like to play the remix.

2.
Song: The Perculator
Artist: Baltimore Club Music


The Perculator has always been a Hurricane Productions favorite. We like to get all the guests up out of their chairs and into a big circle on the dance floor and just have fun with the song. During the first chorus, usually just the emcee and dancers dance in the middle of the circle. After that, we start pulling guests into the center to dance. Everyone has a lot fun with this song and its a great way to throw some spotlight on the guest of honor. The perculator has always been a song/routine which has given us a creative edge and helped us to standout among other DJ companies.

3.
Song: Like a Prayer (Remix)
Artist: Madonna




This song is always great to throw in at the end of a good dance set. It slows everyone down for about half a minute and the girls usually really get into singing this classic. I'm noticing this song is becoming less well-known with the younger crowds now-a-days but it still always gets a good crowd response.

4.
Song: Love Like This (Remix)
Artist: Faith Evans, Fatman Scoop, Crooklyn Clan




I like to pull this song out at the end of an upbeat Sweet 16 or Mitzvah. It's got a lot of energy and some key points for crowd interaction to raise the energy level even higher. "When I say uhh, you say ahh."


There are few more songs that I cycle through (including the old stand-by, Donna Summer's Last Dance) but those are my top four favorites that I like to end upbeat parties with. Next week I'll be featuring my top favorite Multicultural Folk Music selections... just kidding.
