On the last night of Greenbelt, I did some DJing on the Mainstage – or as I like to think of it, I was Mavis Staples’ “warm-up guy”. And Ron Sexsmith’s. And Kate Rusby’s. And…(you get the picture)
I didn’t do a straight DJ set as such; more a lot of mini-sets in the changeover period between bands. It was still fun, though. These are the songs I played (in no particular order):
- I Need a Dollar – Aloe Blacc
- Put Your Records On – Corinne Bailey Rae
- Sonho de Verao – Max de Castro
- You Get What You Give – New Radicals (which got a “thumbs-up” from Iain Archer’s drummer)
- Olvidalo – Brownout (which I had to stop playing because it was distorting the system)
- Perry – New Cool Collective
- ‘Bout a Thang – Tonex
- Enete – Son Veneno
- Pjanoo – Eric Prydz
- Bukom Mashie – Yaaba Funk
- Seven Nation Army (dubstep remix) – the White Stripes
- Zouk! – T-Kolai
- Cha Cha Slide – DJ Casper
- Skallelujah – Joe Ferry
- People Get Ready – Kevin Max
- Looking For You – Kirk Franklin
- Gimme Some More – the JBs
- Harvest for the World – Isley Brothers
- Babete – Som Brazil
- Move on Up – Curtis Mayfield
