Wrll since its three in the morning and i have followed this smiley's advice for the past 6 hours
I personally think you can spin to just about any type of music. I preferably spin to primus, oysterhead, the grateful dead, phish, various techno trance and goa type bamds, moe., particle, the new deal, and certain metal songs. I prefer just about any kind of music with alot of speed and emotion changes. I doubt this was much help but i am bored, drunk, and talkative, so who cares.

Happy Spinning

Dead Can Dance
Portishead
Cake
Coal Chamber
Drowning Pool
Floater
Modest Mouse...
blah blah blah the list goes on and on those are just random bands I picked out of my music folder.... dont hate be because of my taste of music *hides*

rhythmic stuff is best i think, anything from a mate on bongos to a 50k breaks and techno soundsystem! thinks with good drops and breakdowns to change the pace are nice. depends what time of day it is and what mood as well. try putting on a whole mix tape of your favourite dance music + seeing where it takes you...

i think that any dark, heavy psytrance (Skazi,Shift,psycotic micro, sun project,....) goes well with spinning.
also i like to spin to some fast punk like against all authority.
i think the music depends on the personal style just as much as the personal style depends on ur taste of music generally.

I enjoy spinning to music with thick percussion. Rusted Root is one of my favorite bands to spin to. Also, being from Nova Scotia, I really like spinning to fiddle tunes. It's all a matter of personal style though.

What about old kind of songs, that people enjoy and will sing along to?
Instead of psytrance and heavy metal?
Something like 'feeling hot hot hot' but not that. An classic song that people like.

I remember when I saw Ash Circle, they played Staring at the Sun by the Offspring and when Loki got into the rope torch, they had Sandstorm by Darude playing... those are just songs that I like and have seen people perform to.
