Thank Fildelma it’s Friday.
With nightlife returning for some, let’s have a music competition open to all, whatever the medical status, shall we?
Sadly, we are still operating on our own esteem steam and without a voucher for the winner. One day soon.
This week, I would like to know, if you were a DJ tonight at a reopened club, what would be your first floor-filling choon?
Here’s mine.
Please include video link where possible.
Lines must close at Saturday MIDNIGHT.

Last week’s winner announced here shortly.

1981…!
:-)
From first-up floor-filler to clearing the sticky dance-floor…?
before they launch into Amhran na bhFiann
and the lights come up to highlight the bleary-eyes
of dishevelled Dishco-dancers full of dandruff and regret
after the mandatory Copper’s-binge-feed
of 8 pints, too many WKDs & a rake of JagerMeisters:

the sublime Alison Goldfrapp – “A&E”
Have a lovely day, peeps…!

Dearg Doom, by The Horslips, this was traditionally played at the end of the night in night clubs in Tyrone, well, Cookstown. Barry Devlin was from up the road a tad, Ardboe. Interesting flipside?

Fools Gold
The Stone Roses
Or – Lust for Life…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYZ-n8L0AaI
It’s relatively quiet on here tonight. People must be out. This has been a staple of Irish dance floors for 39 years. Guaranteed to get them going in Coppers tonight and all those clubs in provincial towns that used to be advertised on 2FM
Bryan Adams – Summer if 69
https://youtu.be/eFjjO_lhf9c
Whoops that should have been 30. 39 is far too specific and wrong!
People may be out, however, you, and I, are not alone.

Bruce Springsteen – Dancing In the Dark
Right song, wrong version.
Here’s the Hot Chip/LCD Soundsystem take on it. You can thank me later.

Thanking you later.

I might be dancing by myself if I put this one on, however, it has stuck with me from back in the 90s.
Gloworm – Carry Me Home
https://youtu.be/GsAJBhafbyo
For the night that’s in it I think we need to boost everyone’s esteem after 18 months of gloom
Arctic Monkeys- I Bet You Look Good on the Dance Floor
https://youtu.be/pK7egZaT3hs
“You know it’s alright, it’s okay
I’ll live to see another day…”
The Bee Gees – Stayin’ Alive
https://youtu.be/fNFzfwLM72c
“Stayin’ Alive”…? In Coppers tonight…?
They wish…!
Throw a swerve on that “Night Fever” tho…!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=op5FxEs1aR0
“Ready to Flow”(test) … more like…!
lol
it might be early for the last tune to drop, either way

https://youtu.be/kGPHmhix738
big wheel
all turned out fine in the end ?
one love one heart.
Oh, oh, oh…. for me it would have to be Love Story by Victor Ruiz (of Sweden’s Drumcode Records).
The track is proper hardcore of the type you would expect from Drumcode, but it is the house music style vocal, that kicks in at 2m30secs that makes this a sure fire floor filler, and the wonderful breaks/ changes at 4mins, and a return to vocals at 5 that make this track pop for me.
But this track is sooo good you can’t just drop it in there, it needs an intro, and for that there’s this wonderfully house number from 2000 by Celeda called The Underground (Addictive Trip Mix)
These two played back to back… Now that’s a floor filler in my mind that will have a room hoppin’ with joy and positive energy :)
Celeda – The Underground

Sex Kitchen was a club in Galway in the early 90s… small, cramped, sweaty and loud :)
Thanks Clamps
That Victor Ruiz – Love Story track is absolutely gorgeous.
:0)
Ooooooh, missed clicking that yesterday Galaxia, love it… familiar, but can’t say I recall it, added to me old skool list :)
Too hard.
