3 tracks you want to hear on a huge soundsystem

Imagine you're dj-ing in a warehouse or some other wicked
location and you have to please the crowd with some of the
fattest tracks ever.

you can choose only 3 and it has to be tracks that somehow
remind you of a huge location or you think would sound even
more hardcore than any cool track played extremely loud.

An example would be Prodigy's no good (start the dance),
played in a building much like the one in the video, with
strobes too of course.

2nd one i think would be absolutely killer on a grotesquely
huge system is Autechre's second bad vibel. Imagine the
pulsating of the speakers so immense that you'd have to keep
a distance of at least 6 feet.

I also have fond memories of the chemical brothers' clip
'hey boy, hey girl' and everybody would have to wear
skeleton costumes and get strobed to near blindness.

A dream of mine is to hear any or all of these some day in
England at an absolutely stunning venue. Go.

everyone's ears bled.

Any Gamelan Jegog-tune will do.

In any case it would have to be deep, powerful, and enough
force to make you (i.e. the listener) shut his mouth and
become completely immersed.

The only music that's worthwile is the one that says,
metaphorically, "I own you, you're under my control now,
shut up, I will lead the way."

BAAAA-----DOOOOOONG ----!!!!

im stealing swear's choices, except replacing roman flugel
(because i dont know him/it/her/them) with justice - waters
of nazareth.

and considering this is such an awesome topic, im gonna
throw another three out there:
daft punk - human after all (sebAstian remix)
justice vs simian - we are your friends
vitalic - la rock 01

what can i say? im a sucker for french house.

also, since i have a 550 watt system, i get to do this a lot
anyway.

something really simple and lame that they would think is
good, so their presence, hollaring and dancing wouldn't ruin
something good like toe tac tic.

ok no offense guys but some of you are really missing the
point.

Imagine being at the wickedest gig ever with an immense
crowd and you get to pick 3 songs. I'm not talking about
your top 3 of fav songs, but songs you know would make a
fucking impact.

Obviously, tracks with little to no bass are not going to
suffice but thats not the only point. They should be tracks
that are suited for huge gigs and tracks you have always
dreamt of hearing in a setting other than the one in your
living/computer/bedroom.

Some explanation per track would also be cool. I'll
definitely check some of these.

I'll kill your dog with toenail clippers
STAPLE your nuts to a moving train

a snake will live PERMANENTLY inside you
biting vital organs with deadly venom
and every day the snake will come out your dickhole
and bite your BALLS

you will be bill clintons personal slut
and he likes to swallow
cry to your mommy you will never get out
and god, I rape you

Freak is intense on a loud system. Dancing frantically to
the stupidly long breakdown is coronary-inducing, too.

I'm already mentally compiling a list of anything I want to
hear on a club system (properly DJing for the first time in
ages next month) and so far it (rather selfishly) consists
of some tracks of my own that I've been working on that I
want to check work well when played "loud".

Ezkerraldean: Almost anything by Satie sounds shit when
played loud. Even on a measly 6KW PA I had to turn it right
down.

thank you so much for that vid!

seeing that boy (why is the camera only on one of them?)
actually play with his drum machines and synths.... how i
long for the day when my only option to make electronic
music would have been with hardware.

software makes me lazy. not daft punk tho, their new live
sets fucking rock face, even if theyre blatantly made with
ableton.

Probably doing a room 2 ambient space themed set at The
Hunter Gatherer's Trophy Cabinet in Bath next month. On the
back of that, I'll probably be one of the main room 1 acts
doing a dark electronic/dubstep hybrid of DJing/playing live
in a couple of months time (think Plastikman's Decks FX and
a 909, but with dubstep rather than techno and you won't be
far off).

I'm glad I waited till I could play stuff I wanted again
before returning to DJing. I'd had enough of playing more
popular stuff last time I stopped playing out. Now I'm back
in south wales, I think I'll start looking at some of the
alternative nights in Cardiff for a more regular slot. It's
no Bristol, but it's definately better music wise than
Barry.
