Your fave tunes over 6 minutes 50 seconds (apropos of nothing)

Phuture - Acid Trax

 

Fairport Convention - Matty Groves

 

Too many nights as a student sitting around totally wasted & listening to this

 

Probably one of my all time favourites

 

Crikey, I had bet 5 posts before Yes made an appearance

 

That was because you beat me to Matty Groves

 

Just sneaked in with the timing

 

Gets in just over 6.50

 

Possibly the most epic 10+ minutes ever -Jane's addiction - Three Days

 

When the Levee Breaks - Led Zeppelin

 

Metallica - One

 

Just couldn't ignore this one

 

Bought a copy of that album in Paris recently - good choice

 

This - in my opinion is the best song ever written

 

its not an original tune but meets the time criteria

Its i memory tuine for me as i played a bigger club than i was used too one night and i played this tune and dropped a pitched up version of nelly the elephant mixed into the end of it

The club owner was trying to physically drag me out of the dj booth because he thought id lost the plot
He only let go when the crowd went mental and loved it

Its nice when you take a massive chance and get a big reward

 

Oops wrong link im pretty sure it was the tiesto version i played

 

Thinking back i loved my dj days

I was crap at mixing but wasent scared of the mic when things required it
The one thing i was good at was reading the room and the atmosphere and providing the tunes to suit

My mrs and a few other people have suggested i go back to it as a job

The thing is the last time i played anywhere as a paid dj was 2004 and times have moved on

Nowadays its a laptop full of mp3s and a usb mixing deck for the show of moments

I grew up with vinyl and got loads of stick when i moved over to cds
Yes cds allowed me to carry more tunes in the same space but i was still dragging a big heavy box or four accross a town centre full of drunks


My senses say theres more people having house partys nowadays than going out clubbing or pubbing
