[Official Playlist from DJ!] Music played at regionals.

[the_short1]

ok ok ok, its gone on long enuf, thread after thread about music played at regionals, so i took it upon myself to get the official playlist from a DJ (after some sweet talking) because i had a hard time finding songs for my slideshow CD last year.

so here it is, the Official FIRST Playlist, this gets emailed to every DJ at every regional, so it should definately have the song you heard (minus practice matches, which is just CD's field crew had), enjoy.

This is great! I always wonered if FIRST actually sent out a playlist. Thanks for getting this information.

I guess that wasn't exactly what I expected. I know for a fact that I have heard far more music from the Chemical Brothers, Prodigy, and Metallica. Did the DJ say how strictly they are required to stay on that list?

FIRST has some amazing DJs.

I mean -- you've got to be dedicated to your craft if you're going to lug around that 7' edition of Everybody (Backstreet's Back). If that wasn't evidence enough of your dedication, surely there are but a few DJs in the country -- nay, the world -- that have the rare Blondie recording of 99 Luftballons. This edition is rare, for the most part, because the song was released by Nena after Blondie effectively disbanded and they've never covered it.

A good list, for sure, but there are obviously songs added by the DJ's. I didn't hear it at Purdue or Cleveland, but last year in Chicago and several times in Milwaukee I heard "Stomp to my Beat" by JS17 - this is a great song to get the crowd pumping.

The list for music during the awards is standardized as well...I know I've seen it floating around here somewhere.

Thanks for getting this!

I'm looking into it. There seems to be a huge gap between DJ's such as the one at VCU which played a bunch of terrible music vs the one at UCF who felt overly restricted by the playlist vs the one at Detroit who kicked butt, but was overly repetitive as well.

I'll let you guys know what I find out.

At Waterloo the DJ played And Then What by Young Jeezy (not on the list) but only the "boom boom clap" and none of the actual rapping. Such a disappointment for such a great song.

Next year We interscept this email and add the Numa Numa Dance song.

the REAL name is "O-Zone - Dragostea Din Tei (3:34)" and i heard it at waterloo but not sure which day it was.... but alas its still not on the list :S

hmm.. i thought they had to be pretty strick with the songs because they needed a liscence to play at a venue like that?? .. remember: day 1 theirs no DJ.. just random CD's

probably where the awards is - I can't give too much information on this only b/c I have been behind the scenes in which most of everything is visible, the awards music from all I can say is random. and is not played by the DJ. So that just leaves the AV Crew / other means -----> Highly Secretive Shhhhhhh =)

[the_short1]

but i did find this on my school drive.. i totally didnt know i had it..modified date: may 15th 2005. it apears to be the complete list of music from 2005? or maybe just a handmade list of songs one person heard? i have no clue but i know it first music.

I'm sure if you were musically intellectual, you could compose the list yourself since they play the same songs for the same awards at every event per year.

You just have to actually know the songs. I know like.. 90-95% of them.

I could come up with this list at The Championship event if I remember.

Elgin, KTorak: See my whitepaper.

I talked with the DJ at Toronto, who's been doing the Canadian Regionals for 5 years. He's pretty much left alone, because he knows what he's doing and is obviously experienced enough to not be force fed a playlist. From what I heard, it is up to the individual regional committees to enforce "The List." Talk to your regional directors for more information.

My new pet project for the summer is to get my DJing whitepaper cleaned up and approved by the men upstairs so it can become a guide for new DJ's instead of "The List," which is IMHO rediculously restrictive.
