Many interesting information: specially for you.
Discussion and opinion
There is a guy that I found on youtube called Syntheticsax. He has some
tunes where is plays the sax over the instrumental to popular tunes of
today. Some of his tracks are downloadable. There are two tunes that I play
anytime I play downtempo stuff, his versions of Avicii's Wake Me Up and
Eric Prydz's Pjanoo. When I play Pjanoo I most often play an edit I made
that starts out with the original and then goes into his sax version. This
seems to go over really well with people.
Hope this can give you some ideas, and great vids,

Great video I use VSQ all of the time. its a great conversation starter - djbigron
My phone is going crazy. I go with classic Motown, and it seems to go over
real good - sexytruckerman
I betcha some of the Animusic tracks would work like Starship Groove, Pipe
Dreams and others especially if you have video screens set up. - Herfmonster
I maintain a playlist for my 'real' place of work... the waiting area of a
hospital x-ray dept. +1 for Vitamin String Quartet. enjoy the Expo! - SoundsLikeFunNYC
Really great video. I'd like to see more or maybe a series on appropriate
songs you play and why. - Ezra Richards
Brian have you heard Iron and Wine? Just started mixing them in with
Jazz,Jack Johnson,Mraz,etc. - dswan1965
didnt quite understand some of the artists names you recommend...can you
put a tracklist in the description? great suggestions! - bacithefencer
I'm constantly looking for alternatives to "Standards and cheesy smooth
Jazz". One that works great for me is the "Unwrapped" series by Hidden
Beach Recordings which are Jazz versions of classic Hip-Hop tunes. Check
them out , they're excellent. - tbiber
I play "Spanish Guitar" music... that's always a big hit on my end... all
it is, is spanish guitar versions of anything with no vocals... It's not
slow enough to put people to sleep nor is it upbeat enough to make people
dance.. like this... youtube.com/watch?v=cSddF86Uhc4 (I do alot of latin
events... ) - DJSpontaneous
the last 8 weddings i done they hate elevator music ( jazz ; smooth jazz) - HYVBJ JGT
Great video Brian! Schooling the newbie dj's with "Plastic Dreams" For a
minute there I thought you were going to say "Then I play "Dominator" by
Human Resource after plastic dreams Lol...I'm going to take your idea on
plastic dreams and play for cocktail hour. Thanks - DjSweet Lou
very helpful!!!! - DeeJayHavoc1
upbeat love songs - HYVBJ JGT
I'm using jazz (both mellow and a bit uptempo, lately some nujazz),
piano/sax instrumental version for well known hits and bossa nova remixes
with smooth (often) female voices. If the party is a bit more on the classy
side, Vitamin String Quartet gets the job done. - Ionut Maxim
.i've noticed your logo signature (BSR) on top right hand corner of this
video.. Cool..!! As far for cocktail music I have played some up tempo
Spanish guitar.. - chinoporto
some Santana, some Sade, throw in some slow Lonely Boys and throw jazz in
there - jaime tellez
I seem to always go back to the music you tend to always hear when you eat
in pizza hut or a set down restaurant - Javix40
Saving Private Ryan! Brill film - antony CASH
I use VSC all the time. My customers love it . - tbmproductionsdj1
Some good choices Brian Usually, If the Bride & Groom have not specified, I
like to do a little Jack Johnson, UB40 - Red Red Wine, Trooper - Here for a
good time, Bob Marley - Jammin / One Love, Jimmy Cliff - I Can See Clearly,
etc.. just to name a few. I find that the music is not to slow and not to
up beat. Enough to keep people in a mood that they look forward to dancing.
Also, majority of it is well known so people can sing a long. Cheers! - demo316
Brian, keep it coming, great information! - rramon1
Brian, will you be doing some videos from the floor there @ the DJ expo? - rramon1
Don't forget Kenny G - Swenti Bold
instrumental classic rock.. im loving it. and it works!! - Niki Horn
"Not even Michael Buble wants that.." - funny - MarkMix Entertainment
I go with class - sexytruckerman
Great topic! I use similar songs as mentioned and throw in some Michael
Franks to pep it up...'Popsicle Toes' - Jack Saucedo
Royalty free music is great for this, stuff from incompotech,
machinimasound, etc, works great :D - IUsedToBeANinja4895
I prefer to use non-vocal smooth jazz during cocktail hour because guests
are usually visiting/talking/catching up and you don't want them to be
competing with vocals between each other to be heard by each other. When it
moves on to the dinner portion of the event, I prefer artists like Steve
Tyrell, Dianna Krall, Fleetwood Mac, Air Supply is great, Feist is great,
Jack Johnson, Jason Mraz, Dave Matthews Band, Mumford & Sons, etc. Not
sleepy, great love (staying together, not breaking up) song - Brandon Walters
Great video! When and where are you going to be speaking at the Las Vegas
DJ Show? I want to be there for that :) - dex newberry
I go si - sexytruckerman
Great vid, I like to mix up the genres as well. I do mostly the Smooth Jazz
stuff with the Pop 70's tracks as you mentioned, as well as 70's and 80's
R&B that's mid-tempo. It's also a great time to play the requests from your
client's list that aren't danceable or that would clear your floor during
the open dancing portion of the evening. - MarkMix Entertainment
Great advice dude!! I normally will play Eric Johnson and even some mellow
Liquid Tension Experiment. In my little town in Tennessee I am asked to
play a lot of bluegrass, so I'll throw in some Iron Horse. They do
Metallica covers bluegrass style. Its funny to see the younger metal heads
in the crowd eys light up when they realize, "hey I know that song" - Billy Gambill
For cocktails at a wedding you need a mixture of light tunes including Jazz
.. People would normally be sitting there listening to the actual tune so
the volume needs to be low. During dinner then the tempo changes to more
middle of the road selection. - MrMediamate
I like playing the Verve Remixed series during cocktail, and then the
classic jazz originals during dinner. - tommytoony
Saving Private Ryan in the TV Set Nice! - jaime tellez
Top billboards jazz is great. But like to mix it up with some Latin jazz
and smooth pop hits. - Manuel Benitez
Songs from the Hidden Beach Series are just awesome. There are seven CDs in
the series. I use thse a lot at some of my finer Venues such as the Country
Clubs. Here are a few samples:All from the Hidden Beach Series: Type in
Hidden Beach then the name of the song: Electric Relaxation": "Gangstas
Paradise" "Lose Yourself" Stan (Piano on this one is awesome) - ahoustondj
Natalie merchant tiger lilly, journey, cars, a few of my upbeat dinner
lists. Enigma. - spillwill72
I'd like to add Frankie Knuckles - The Whistle Song (original) to this list
:) - briansredd
agree with u - HYVBJ JGT
Excellent vid For contemporary jazz you could try Cafe Delmar, St Germain
album Tourist. One of the best albums for old jazz is the Sleepless in
Seatlle sound track, and the Robbie Williams 'Sing while you're winning'.
Like you said some Mike Buble is good. Sometimes we play more of a rock
ballad selection. Jack Johnson - Ed Sheeran - John Mayer- Ben Harper-
Eagles My only addition is to get to know the style of the wedding the
clients are trying to create, and get their input for the music. - WeddingDJBusiness
When I meet with my clients I get their input on their musical tastes and
try to tailor cocktails and maybe even dinner music to reflect their
personalities. It's a nice tribute to the couple and their friends usually
appreciate that touch as well. If their tastes lean more toward the club
scene, then I generally follow your suggestions because of the same reasons
you mentioned in your video. - Jonathan Napper
Brian this is a great video, something I've wondered about many times when
it comes to this part of a wedding. Thanks for sharing! - Sonic Orb Studios
This is one of your best tip videos ever, I've always had problems trying
to figure this part of the gig out, the song samples you suggested are
awesome. Thanks again for taking the time to share your tips. Hope to meet
you in Vegas at the DJExpo.. - JaxSwat
