CROWD PLEASERS - Bon Jovi


One vital part of any good Dj's set, is having crowd pleasers. Our purpose is to entertain and though as an artist you need a measure of autonomy in determining your sets and different clubs have different genres driving a basic playlist, every good Dj has his or her crowd pleasers.

I want songs people can dance to and sing along with. I also like the nostalgia that 80's tracks tend to add to the mix. Over the past couple years, no songs have had that unique effect on my crowd more than remixes of two of Bon Jovi's biggest hits from the 80's. The songs themselves are timeless. I added rhythm and effects, Bon Jovi does the rest:

One interesting thing about these tracks, is it has not mattered where or for what reason I played them. The crowd loves them, period. That includes the bar I spin at, parties, weddings, etc... If you can spin 80's where you work, these tracks should suprise and delight your audience.

luv, peace and music, always...
