Swinger Dance Music?

[CoupleInLove]

Another considration is to play it low enough to allow some conversation and introductions! We just came back from the LV convention and couldn't hear a thing at the dinner table, the lounge or by the pool!

Maybe I'm just gettin' old.

The proper dance for these tunes is the Horizontal Rhumba.

OHHHH anything by Carlos Santana can get my juices flowing. Love that guitar.

Hey there,

I agree you need the music loud enough to listen to, but not so loud where you can't hear what the other person is saying. I also posted a thread concerning bad DJs at swing clubs playing...well...just crap. They couldn't DJ out of a wet bag. So here is my MUST list for a good time:

Sexual Healing/Marvin Gaye
Closer/NIN
Give it Up/Basement Jax
Justify My Love/Madonna
You Suck/ Not sure the artist, but great women's power song about the right to recieve oral sex and not just give it all the time.
Pussy Control, Get Off, Erotic City/Prince
Crash/ DMB--Okay, that one is for Scully because she is a HUGE Dave Mathews Band fan
Booty Call/Not sure who sings or raps this, but great line dancing fun.
Anytime...Anyplace/Janet Jackson (this is the "we're going to the back room because the party is winding down" kinda song)
Cashmere/Led Zeplin--this has passion and sexiness written all over it


Okay, a few of my play list, how about yours?

"Love Deluxe", by SADE.

It's my current favorite to put me in the right mood for swinging.

The Blues Bothers "Whose makin' love to your old lady?" (while you were out makin' love?)

I know that I am young here, but may I recommend:

"Lying is the most fun a girl can have without taking her clothes off" by Panic at the Disco. (The song is about a cheating girlfriend, but hey...great beat and a fun chorus).
"Polyamourous" by Breaking Benjamin (the original version is a little hard-rock, but they have a techno version floating around out there somewhere)
"Crash Into Me" and "Lover Lay Down" Dave Matthew's Band
"In Your Room" The Bangles
"Tempted By The Fruit of Another" Squeeze
"Dirty Little Secret" All American Rejects
"Why Can't I Get Just One Kiss" Violent Femmes
"Grand Theft Autumn (aka - Sugar We're Going Down Swinging) Fallout Boy
"Drawing Board" Mest

We agree with some prior posts anything by Dave Matthews, Prince or Santana is awesome.
Another great one is great is Buttons - Pussy Cat Dolls.
anything by Mad Season
anything Latin, they really know how to sex it up.
Nickel Back - Figured You Out
I have DJ'd and one thing that baffles me is when a particular song empties the floor then the DJ plays more of the same genre. Being a DJ is tough, you have to read the crowd and sometimes play stuff YOU might not like if it is working for the crowd.

Yep, I know what you mean, and DJing for a swinger party is probably the hardest thing a DJ can ever do. The reason for that is that when DJing any other venue the people usually come for the music and expect it to all be one or two different genre of music. Whereas, at a swingers party the people are not there for the music at all and their musical tastes very wildly. I just DJed a swinger party last Saturday night and while I enjoy it, it certainly is a challenge keeping everyone happy. I used to think weddings were the worst, but at least at those the wedding party will give you a play list or will tell you what types of music they want played, not so at a swingers party, and their are always a few there that think that their idea of good music is the only good music and they have no problem in repeatedly telling you so.

Has anyone compiled a CD like this that we can buy? Is there a market? There is nothing better than dancing to sexy and sexual music, whether you swing or not.

[mr&mrsbees]

We love the compilations from Lazy Geisha. You can find them here

When we host a party we always try to create an erotic and sexy ambience with soft lighting and music which is designed to encourage slow or smoochy dancing. Slow numbers by singers like Anne Murray and Nana Mouskari (spelling?) are among our favorites.

Well, seeing as how you mentioned it. For those that may have one foot in the bed anyway, Barry White will either get you there quicker or at least get you naked faster.

Thanks for all the lists. I see I have some recording to do.

I have to say good swingers Dj's are hard to come by we have used 10 or 12 different Dj's for our events and only 3 or 4 of them could read the crowd. Leah has a list of songs that she keeps and gives to any new Dj's we use and they are required to bring that entire list with them, she also brings it along to the party and gives them this copy to play from if they get stuck.

We have found a format that works well and that is to start the evening playing 5 or 6 faster songs and then 1 or 2 slow ones for guys like me who can't keep a beat. As the night goes on we recomend changing the mix ending the night with 2 fast and 2 slow. we also have a comp cd of funny sex songs that we let the dj use as a break in the evening.

I tend to go for the music that expresses how we all feel when we are in a lifestyle environment:

Straight Fuckin
Candy licker
Hoochie mamas
slow roll it
strokin
I wanna do ya
pump my juice
sit down on it
lick it before you stick it
a sexaholic
this bedrooms on fire

Okay I might be older but everytime I've asked for this song at a dance the floors gets filled!!! I've had at least two DJ's say it is too old or not funky enough but everytime it gets played the ladies love it and it is a nice change from all the hip hop and rap and the song is
Honky Tonky Women by the Rolling Stones
so to all you DJ's try it you might like it
