It’s great to get an idea of your taste for warm up tunes these are tracks that build the emotion you want + also work as background music. There’s a lot of genres that fit this, so I’d love to get your input here.

A classy and atmospheric genre that builds emotion, if people are ready, they will start dancing to this, if not, it provides great built up flow.

A smooth, rhythmic genre that I like to have as an option for sets that start slower and build over a long period of time.

The right tracks in this category are recognisable to the more mature folk, as well as being a lot of fun for the younger folk. Re-works of recognisable tracks feature highly in my sets because they hit the spot for everybody.

These sexy tunes are a lot of fun and are designed to get people of all ages moving and grooving. I’d love to have them as an option for your special night.

Electro Swing is a lively fusion genre that blends the vintage charm of 1920s–1940s swing and jazz with modern electronic beats. Great Gatsby style, high energy, a bit different, and really fun for a wide range of people.

Reworks of older tracks are incredible tools for helping people have a great time, I have a large playlist of quality bangers in this category.

Popular tunes that everyone recognises, with more contemporary dance rhythms, this is a sure-fire way to get the crowd levelled up.

Many celebrations are best kept at medium energy, if you’d like to give me the option of pushing into high energy that’s awesome too. Note: I’ll read the room, and if the room isn’t ready, we wont force it.

If you would like me to aim to take your guests here, then I’ll have this as an option if they respond positively.

These are the ones that people start requesting later into the night, usually when we have built a lot of energy. My strategy here is to use higher energy remixes (like this example) or layer with higher energy tracks. Then we don’t loose momentum.

These last few genres are going to start feeling pretty out of place when listening on their own. We don’t need to go here, but let me know if you want me to push your guests as hard as possible. If they respond positively to each level up, I’m happy to take them there. (Note: All images are for illustrative purposes only).

Tech House blends the groove and rhythm of house music with the deeper, more minimal elements of techno. The vibe is sleek, driving, and dance-floor-focused, often with subtle vocal samples or percussive hooks that create a sense of flow and momentum throughout the night.
