YOU are invited to contribute to making my next dance party the best night ever! I'm conducting an interesting, inclusive experiment for the August edition of FLAME!
I believe music to be the great unifier, bringing communities together to bond over our commonalities. I've always aimed to make my events something to be enjoyed by everyone. That's why I want YOU to select the dance songs for my next dance party.
Here are the guidelines:
1) The recording must be from the years 1950-1980
2) I must have in my VINYL collection
3) Your request must be made PRIOR to the day of the dance party
4) I'm not restricting genres, but my collection mostly consists of soul, country, 50s-70s"oldies", classic rock, disco, funk, jazz, blues, r&b, rockabilly, gospel, and Latin.
5) You can request up to THREE songs
TRY ME! If you request it and I have it, I will play it.
This has the potential to be REALLY fun and cathartic! PARTICIPATE!
Send your requests using the contact form at djactionslacks.com
What song lifts your spirits? Who will you choose?
Will it be The Supremes? David Bowie? Aretha? Parliament? Tammy Wynette? Little Richard? The Monkees? Grace Jones? T-Rex? Fleetwood Mac? Bill Withers? Suzi Quatro? Neil Diamond? Ella Fitzgerald? Heart? Foreigner? Some kind of show tune from Rita Moreno?
I can't wait to find out!!!!
