ok so I'm djing for my hotel for our Chrismas party. So far, i have a few songs but I'm having dj blocking in my head...I wanna have songs where everyone can enjoy(age and color). I have something from different types of music that we listen to it...they are...

Zydeco: Candy man - Chris Ardion, Start All over again - Keith Frank, Don't mess whith my tu-tu, and white horse (so far)

Rap: Wipe me down (so far)

All the slow songs will be Christmas songs

Old School: Before I let go -Maze, Whip it baby, slide -slave, Don't stop til you get enough-MJ, Can't touch this -Mc Hammer, Ice Ice Baby-Vanilla Ice, Give it to me baby-Rick James, Funky town-lipps (so far)

Radio: Just Fine-Mary J.B. (so far)

Dance: Cupid shuffle, Stroking, Foot Loose, Chicken dance, New Orleans line dance, Cha cha slide, she's so lovely-J.Paul (so far)

70's: Jackie Blue, Anotheronebitesdadust-queen, about three songs from kc and the sunshine (band so far)

*****I need more suggestions please****

Everyone loves the Electric Slide!!

Have you tried looking up traditional dj lists that hotels and wedding planners use. I've seen them and they list most genres and popular songs. It's a start. I'm sure a google search of party standards will be fruitful. I did one...

It's always best to know your crowd before playing. Knowing the age range and type of people helps a lot. Is it just christmas music? Is it background or does it need to be dancey...as in are folks going to be dancing (is there even a dance floor?)

Judging by your list so far, makes me think that this is going to be really mainstream. I'd stick with the standards and maybe throw in a few nuggets.
