AT THE CLUB: Last Song of the Night

Jay-R 5:40 PM - 24 May, 2007
what do you guys usually do? to it seems every club does it different. slow jam, banger, r&b etc.

i try to play some nostalgic jams sometimes and the crowd loves it. maybe i'm just old school. i dunno. example
sixxx 5:55 PM - 24 May, 2007
Shit. Usually ends up being whatever song I have on the deck cause I was having too much fun and not paying attention to the time. lol

But, I play whatever. Sometimes I'm so tired of playing and hearing the same crap I play a nice hip hop song just for me. Sometimes, a slow jam, just whatever I feel like at that time.
Dj KaGeN 7:12 PM - 24 May, 2007
Van Halen - Happy Trails
DJ Autograph 7:27 PM - 24 May, 2007
I usually go Reggae Slow Jam. Favorite to close out the night is Flex( Mad Cobra) or some Sanchez.

last night i played Ziggy Marley "Tomorrow People" and followed u with "Closing Time" i think its by semisonic.

I like that happy trails though, i'll have to figure it out. i do like to change up the genre though, it throws a twist on the night and it helps the shock of going from 100 to 0
dj cubicle 7:36 PM - 24 May, 2007
I hear KaGeN mixes at 30 BPM. Maybe he can help you out with some of those transition tracks.... ;-)
Dj KaGeN 7:40 PM - 24 May, 2007

Mr. Goodkat 10:09 PM - 24 May, 2007

I could have sworn there was a similar thread somewhere. However, my last song AT THE CLUB is always Red Peters - Blow Me.
Steve_Dub 10:22 PM - 24 May, 2007
Most if not ALL the clubs I spin at want me to slow it down the last 10-15mins of the night.

REPOST. HAH, i finally caught one of these. im not going to make fun of you like %70 of the guys on this forum would, im just going to pat myself on the back.

www.scratchlive.net

i have a residency, they make me end with two slow songs which end at the exact moment our liquor license for the day does. when im rocking a party, its usually the cops that end the night, or ill just keep playing until everyone leaves, thats your cue to wind down the night. just throw in a few slow ones and send em home.

if its anything ive learned about the people that come to my bar, its that they like singalongs. santeria, sweet caroline, the gambler, etc. but ive heards of places that rock the crowd into a frenzy at the end of the night and just dump the people into the street. expect a fight or 2.
Psyko Logical 4:28 AM - 25 May, 2007
I got shut down by the cops last Sat. The stage manager told me to throw on one last track to wind it down. My choice?

NWA-- Fuck the Police
sixxx 4:31 AM - 25 May, 2007

It depends what club it is.

Thursdays @ Tia Juana's I end with this..
- Eamon - Fuck It (They love this song)
- Silk - Freak Me
- T-Pain - I'm In Love With A Stripper

Saturdays @ Queen Mary
- I'll end with house, since after 2am we become QUEEN MARY AFTERHOURS, and it's all house for the rest of the night.

When I was playing at Spundae last year, if I closed the night I would end up with The Killers - Mr Brightside (Thin White Duke Remix). That was like my little trademark closing track!

DjWoody 7:21 AM - 26 May, 2007
I play at the Boiler Room. It's 18+ for girls & 21+ for guys, so no teens! lol... It gets good. It's mostly spanish rock in the main room & hip hop on the second room.

killa k 12:58 AM - 28 May, 2007
aw, im the only one that ends with donna summer - last dance? ;)
J_Static 1:06 AM - 28 May, 2007
depends on how busy and if I want to mess with the crowd and the management.....

You have those nights were it's practically closing time and u got some big meathead of a bouncer signaling you to play last song, so sometimes I'll just slow it down a bit with some old school R&B jams......or.......

if the place is crackin and I want to leave the crowd wanting more and the management like: "WTF, wish we had an afterhours permit" then I will throw bangers left and right till security or management says kill the music......

Then the record cuts and a sample hits like: DJ STATIC HAS LEFT THE MUTHAF*CKIN BUILDING, GOOD NITE!
akaider 3:09 AM - 28 May, 2007

Shit homie, I am almost 100% with you on that one.

Thing is, though, that it really depends on the crowd. I find myself playing rancheras or Tragos at a Latino family or college party. Other than those, I just use the whole night as a clue as to what the last song should be.

It almost always is a slow tempo song, though. I read somewhere that if you play a high octane song at the end, it may make it more likely that ppl leave with more energy than if a slow tempo song was played, thus making it more likely for fights to break out.
djivanlopez.com 9:44 AM - 28 June, 2007
True about the high octave (octane) song at the end and yes, Latino crowds only (especially if you know there are some Mexicans in the bunch), but I have a 15 minute mix that I play that has Tragos Amargos, Volver Volver, El Rey, Sabor a Mi and other classics that get people either crying and slow dancing or both.
