heres an example of what i mean. anyone else?

Wow what a great thread to respond to! I could get into this... I try to stay away from the cliche "thump thump thump" house music, but sometimes it's unavoidable for spinning as it sets up your rhythm. Otherwise, female vocals are awesome, and sometimes downtempo is just killer for slower and more intricate dances.
Some Cocteau Twins with Massive Attack: (sublime vocals)

I know when I'm truly in tune with the music and the fire when I close my eyes when I spin. It's definitely spiritual, and that's a difficult thing to admit coming from one who is scientific in nature - "If it can't be quantified, measured or otherwise studied, then it doesn't exist". This is spiritual. It's fulfilling. It's wonderful.

FFFFFFFFAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTYYYYYYYYY where are you????!!!!

Personally I find a bit of bogan rock my favourite. Bon Jovi, Aerosmith, Motorhead and Led Zep to name but a few. Then I go and eat some pies and down a few VB's. Perfect night.....

Great thread btw

If you have a quick search you'll find LOADS of old threads on this topic.

Like this one... http://www.homeofpoi.com/ubbthreads/link...dance-to-/1096/

It seems to be the most discussed topic ever on HoP.
:-)

A fresh one probably wont hurt though. I'm sure there's a lot of members here now who never saw the older ones.

My favorite band of this year is Gogol Bordello. Crazy good gypsy punk with violin and accordian FTW!

Anybody not familiar with this band should check them out! They have a great energy to them that a lot of bands today seem to lack.

I love medieval music, especially Corvus Corax and Cultus Ferox.
The music is full of energy and makes you spin like crazy

good to spin to or not really?

Depends on whether you feel it or not...

I like it. Not sure it'd mesh with my own style, but I could see a really offbeat spinner working it.

I like using trance for a lot of spinning, my current favorite by far is Beyond the Senses by Astrix. ALso, I like it with some mainstream music, as some works well. I think Temperature by Sean Paul works great, a few Lady Gaga songs work great (Love Game, Poker Face, Bad Romance), unfortunately almost all of my favorite music except for a few songs don't work for poi. There is other things but don't feel like listing right now.

the dubstep....


been used for spinning for a while. i love it.

I agree with Poker face, its got that underlying four beat bass line that really helps me with timing. Though I dont really like the song or the genre

I never really liked it until I started spinning. I got some more music that would fit it, I listen to it while I spin and it growns on me, with the exception of some certain songs -.- ughh so many rappers, I got enough shortly wher I could just ignore the rap and get rid of it. (I have Billboard's #1 songs since 2000 because after meeting more people I am no longer the only one listening to music on my iPod)

yeah, my Ipod is filled with nonsense, I drive the bus to to the school camps I work on so Im required to provide entertainment. the amount of boybands and stuff I have is sickening

*vomit*

my omgihavetospinrightNOW song is "do your thing" by basement jaxx - it was in 'bend it like beckham' from memory...i just it!

Someone at the spin jam here keeps playing Kraddy, so I've developed a fondness for spinning to the songs "Android Porn" and "New World Empire". The ravers are contaminating my precious bodily fluids...

Chumbawumba fer sure.
