Empty your mind. Be formless, Shapeless, like Water.
Put Water into a cup, it becomes the cup, put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, put water into a teapot, it becomes the teapot.
Water can flow, or it can Crash.

today i spun to some mazza-lunchbox(awesome song!!)
but i normaly spin to sublime or any dub i can get hold of.......but thats only when i spin @ home when im out & about, my fellow spinner matt normally carries his i-pod-mc-dougal with him & hes got anything from big band jazz to ac/dc

when i spin at school dances we use a tune known as zombie nation this is common at many sporting events there is one other known as "blood is pumping" which is certifiably insane i love the song but i dont think they'll have it so ask for zombie nation is a fairly common tune and a good song to spin to

I've been spinning to the new Tool and Placebo albums for the past few days. Its amazing how my style of spinning changed depending on the music I have on.

After a year I still love Patrick Wolf's 'Lycanthropy' album...
Songs like 'Bloodbeat', 'To The Lighthouse' and 'A Boy Like Me'
Folky ambient elemental electro. Has the beats as well as heart...

I have an odd mixture of music I spin to.
Chemical Bros - Surrender has some great stuff
Ani DiFranco
Fiona Apple
Certain NIN songs (Starf**kers, Inc is a good one)
recently introduced to Infected Mushroom
I need to get some Safri Duo to listen to
I generally prefer music with nice tempo changes...

my first burn was ott - smoked glass and chrome
shpongle, portishead, tool (esp. undertow!), kmfdm, good dj mixes, psytrance is the best tho!
A lot of music from the late 60s is wonderful to spin to
i like songs that use lyrics similar to what i'm doing (spin, fire, etc.)
anything that you can groove into is usually good. the more "out there" the song is the better your poi will spin

my favorite artists have to be DJ Scribble, DJ Tiesto, DJ Irene, Benny Benassi, Aphex Twin, Carl Cox, DJ Fatcat (just the song called tutti fruitti. all the rest kinda suck..), DJ Jurgen (better off alone has to be the best song), DJ Sammy, DJ Zany, Global Deejays, Happy Hardcore, Infected Mushroom, Pauk Oakenfold, Paul Van Dyke, thats pretty much it... unless you like rock music... Rammstein and Slipknot have some fast rage beats for raving.

Just found a new song that is fun to spin to:
"Rotary" by Apparat & Ellen Allien
Other than that, Meat Beat Manifesto has some great grooves. Just discovered Amon Tobin (sp?) last night at a spin, his stuff was great, too.
I was touched by His Noodly Appendage

Daft Punk's Aerodynamic has me hooked at the moment. I just love the transitions in the song, they allow me to change moves within the musics rythmn

Maybe I'm crazy, but I got the soundtrack to Saturday Night Fever, and EVERYTHING on it is enourmously fun to spin to. And everyone recognizes the music.
Also, Darude's "Sandstorm" is pretty fun.

Some of the Leftfield stuff is awsome - especially Afrika Shok.
Has any one tried Nightmares on wax? it smooths out your spinning no end! bit jazzy if ya know what i mean.
And for those "bad day at work, gonna really hurt myself" spins - Pendulum : Tarantula / Slam or try this - Bomfunk MC's : Uprocking beats (various remixes to it)
But generally i like to vary the style of music, it tends to make you get a bit creative.
