As per topic and why?

Depends on the function:

But, some options include:

*) The Latest Now Album

*) The Latest Mastermix Promo CD

*) A purchase of a new(ish) "Best of the 80's" compilation CD box set, so that I can get rid of more of my vinyl, by replacing it with CD versions, rather than "ripping" the vinyl at good ol' "realtime 1x" speed.



However, if you're looking for a singular answer, with a specific CD title, then "Best Pub Jukebox Album in the world ever".

Why? Well, its got plenty of the commonly requested tracks, and more to the point perhaps, a lot of the tracks that people DONT request, but they say "Oh YES! I love this track...I haven't heard this for ages...etc"

Michael Jackson - greatest hits, because it has lots of tracks that fill a dancefloor

I must thank RobbieD for introducing me to the Ben Leibrand Grand 12" compilations. Personally, the music in them reflects my influences. These are the best compilations I have seen, and often get used on my shows.


Close by is History of house which is a CD released by Channel 4, this contains some seminal house tracks I love.


I also love Led Zeppelin Remasters compilation - sheer quality rock.


And this little D&B gem is full of good stuff!

From a business point of view, the Now series is probably the best in my collection!

Difficult to say just one CD. A lot does depend on function the 60's 70's 80's 90's muliple cd box sets are a blessing with the latest ministry of sound Cd always close to hand. But I think it has to be.....

Played 7 of those on disk 1 on Saturday, only one on disk 2 though.

how hard is this, normally it one of the last CD's that I've bought which are

Browns Bag - Soul Satisfied
Frank McComb - The Truth 2

and the Soul togetherness CD's are always worth a listen
Soul Togtherness 2006

Only usually play three tracks from the above CD.

It's a virtually impossible question to answer but I'll answer from a personal, rather than a mobile DJ point of view..

My most recent buys are my current favourites.

They are "Worth The Wait" - Omar Cunningham, "Love Stories" - Frank McComb and "Mama's Got A Bag Of Her Own" - 25 reissued classic soul cuts from Stateside.

I'm awaiting 2 reissues by the Soul Searchers - "We The People" and "Salt of The Earth" which I know will get a lot of plays.

I don't think there is a hard & fast rule, they change week to week, month to month.

At the moment:

Business - Now 64 / 65

Pleasure - Nuggets box set

soul togetherness 2006 - some quality choons on there.... don't get a chance to play many of them at the functions i do though.....

most played - dj in a box - cheese fest from mastermix - gets on my nerves but there is something for everyone on there... apart from me!

Proberbly as per Jimbo. I can do a good party set for about an hour with only 2 cd`s.

thats a good c.d. that jimbo

Business: New Now CD and also the latest series from Mastermix

Personal: a bunch of new Trojan Releases...esp the new Phylis Dillon CD..superb!

The one that is playing and people are dancing to.

Midnight syndicate - Out of the darkness or Gates of Delerium.


Never had a track requested for a first dance at a wedding.......... strange that.

From a business point of view - NOW 65

From a personal point of view - The Kooks

I struggled to think of one but personally I am a Dire Straits fan and have all their CD's which I never tire of listening to.
