My top favourite tunes for the dancefloor
April 12th 2007 12:33
I've been DJing quite a bit lately - for long stints at my own monthly club, Take It or Leave It, but also here and there. Anyway, I thought I'd put forward a list of the ska, rocksteady and reggae songs I am most enjoying playing at the moment.
In no particular order:
Ku Klux Klan - Steel Pulse. A great UK roots band, up tempo enough for the floor.
Peace and Love - The Royals. Newly discovered band. Great slower song.
Girl I've Got a Date - Alton Ellis. I always play this song. It is in my top 5 tracks of all time.
Pop the Trunk - The Aggrolites. Really the only contemporary band I play.
Go Jimmy Go - Bob Marley and the Wailers. Great early ska song from these legends.
There's a Fire - The Gaylads. This band has so many good songs. This one is a bit more uptempo for the floor.
El Pussy Cat Ska - Roland Alphonso. I don't do many instrumentals, but love this one.
Pat Kelly - Somebody's Baby. My favourite rocksteady singer.
Artibella - Ken Boothe.
Rough Rider - Prince Buster. Always have to play some PB.
