I was DJing at an event last night where someone asked me to play something Gothic Industrial they could dance to.
Now this was NOT that type of crowd. It was on a cruise ship, but it got me to thinking that maybe it would be nice if I had something to play, just in case... so I am asking here for song ideas...
Not for bellydancing and not real obscure, something that a dancing crowd would know...Please don't give me group names because I wouldn't know what song to get... I need song names with the group.
Thanks!

Re: Gothic/Industrial Dance Music
Mon, January 7, 2008 - 11:40 AM"Dead Stars" by Covenant. The club mix is longer, but the radio version may be more familiar to people.
You also can't go wrong with London After Midnight's "Kiss," if you think the crowd can stand the lyrics.
Rob Zimbie's "Hands of Death" or "More Human than Human' may also go over well.
Oh, another good song, Seraphim Shock's "Prey."

Re: Gothic/Industrial Dance Music
Mon, January 7, 2008 - 11:42 AMOne more, very familiar to most folks since it was used in the trailers for the first Underworld movie; Agent Provacateur's "Red Tape." -

Re: Gothic/Industrial Dance Music
Mon, January 7, 2008 - 12:05 PMWell I like some industrial but not all. And sorry if i offend anyone (because I know my knowledge of giving music s style name isn't very good) but I think 'voodoo people from The prodigy' is a nice in between song.
Also Chrome from VNV nation and The storm from the retrosic (sashi performs on that song)

Re: Gothic/Industrial Dance Music
Mon, January 7, 2008 - 12:59 PMIf the majority of the crowd is not goth, you'd probably do ok with some of the older songs that have been around for so long that they've crossed over into the more familar popular realm:
Tones on Tail - Go!
Sisters of Mercy - Temple of Love
Killing Joke - Love like Blood
Front 242 - Headhunter
Nitzer Ebb - Join in the Chant
Alien Sex Fiend - I Walk the Line
Skinny Puppy - Smothered Hope
White Zombie - Thunder Kiss '65 (and ditto for the above Rob Zombie recommendation)
Nine Inch Nails - Head Like a Hole, Down in it, Closer
10,000 Homo DJS - Supernaut
Siouxsie & the Banshees - Cities in Dust
The Cure - Fascination Street
Revolting Cocks - Do you think I'm Sexy? (a cover of the Rod Stewart song) -
-
Re: Gothic/Industrial Dance Music
Mon, January 7, 2008 - 1:06 PMOh, those are all good ones.
Shriekback's "Coelocanth" and "Nemesis," too.
Oddly I had forgotten about Nine Inch Nails. -

Re: Gothic/Industrial Dance Music

Re: Gothic/Industrial Dance Music

Re: Gothic/Industrial Dance Music
Mon, January 21, 2008 - 1:59 PMmy hubby SO did not believe me when I told him that there was a song with the word Parthenogenesis in it. He kept saying, "no one can rhyme that, why on earth would you put it in a song anyway!?"
So, of course, I had to drag out Nemesis and prove him wrong. Always fun to prove him wrong *cackle*

Re: Gothic/Industrial Dance Music
Mon, January 7, 2008 - 2:30 PMHead Like a Hole, by Nine Inch Nails. a classic hit from the early '90s that even a mainstreamish crowd would have heard.
-
Re: Gothic/Industrial Dance Music
Mon, January 7, 2008 - 2:32 PMHead Like a Hole, by Nine Inch Nails
early '90s classic that even a mainstreamish crowd would be familiar enough with to dance to (plus it's dance-y)

-
Re: Gothic/Industrial Dance Music

Re: Gothic/Industrial Dance Music
Tue, January 8, 2008 - 10:01 PMone might also consider "Transylvanian Concubines" by Rasputina, or perhaps the Marilyn Manson Remix. also, Gary Numan has a lot of good stuff.... most of the Sacrifice album is worth having. My personal favourite on Gary Numan's Sacrifice album is the song "Seed of a Lie".
Apoptygma Berzerk - "Borrowed Time"
Velvet Acid Christ - "Pretty Toy"
Covenant - "Monochrome"
David Bowie - "As the World Falls Down" (from the Labyrinth soundtrack... another personal favourite)
Delerium - "Flowers Become Screens" (another popular one, I've found)
Die Krupps - "Fatherland" Sisters of Mercy mix
Distorsis - "No Love Lost"
Fear Factory - "Securitron (Police State 2000)"
Fear Factory with Gary Numan - "Cars"
Front Line Assembly - "Resist (Dislocated remix)"
Genitorturers - "Touch Myself (remix)"
KMFDM - "Attack/Reload"
Ministry - "Every day is Halloween"
Rammstein - "Stripped" (originally done by Depeche Mode)
Siouxsie & the Banshees - "Face to Face"
Skinny Puppy - "Morpheus Laughing"
Switchblade Symphony - "Copy Cat"
"Insect"
Trinity-X - "Forever (flip and fill remix)
VNV Nation - "Darkangel"
ok, so I'm no DJ, but these are some of the many I keep on My playlists. The artists have many other song titles worth following up on also. Best of luck to you! -

Re: Gothic/Industrial Dance Music

Re: Gothic/Industrial Dance Music
Wed, January 9, 2008 - 10:32 PMCheesy one, but a dance favourite for its driving rhythm, and might be palatable even to the non-Goth party crowd: Panzermensch by And One. -
-
Re: Gothic/Industrial Dance Music
Thu, January 10, 2008 - 4:30 AMI haven't heard Panzermensch in.... oh 2 years at least! That's a happy march tune.

Re: Gothic/Industrial Dance Music
Thu, January 10, 2008 - 3:10 AMFor dancing "Electronaut" by VNV Nation is marvellous. Maybe not exactly goth, but heavy enough. :) -
-
Re: Gothic/Industrial Dance Music
Thu, January 10, 2008 - 6:41 PMOkay, y'all have made me want to go listen to some old stuff. I feel a playlist makin mood comin on.
I still have the Shriekback song running through my head...... a poet with a big vocabulary is sexy indeed. -
-
Re: Gothic/Industrial Dance Music
Thu, January 10, 2008 - 8:49 PMOh my god!! I haven't heard Shriekback in years!! I miss those days :) I saw Nitzer Ebb last year and I almost fainted!! They are so hot in real life, the words are not much, but his grunts are soooooo wonderful!! -

Re: Gothic/Industrial Dance Music
Fri, January 11, 2008 - 3:12 PMI always think of Skinny Puppy's "Mambo Witch" after that song ends. come to think of it, that's cause it was the next song on my old mix tape. Ah, the "mix tape" days... -
-
Re: Gothic/Industrial Dance Music
Fri, January 11, 2008 - 3:58 PMA true sign of the mix-tape fanatic was tapes made by pressing up the portable tape player against a speaker when the college radio station played your favorite songs. I was never that far gone, though. I was just content with taping my LPs. -

Re: Gothic/Industrial Dance Music
Sat, January 12, 2008 - 12:22 AMThis is a wonderful thread!! LOL Love the ideas and reading the "going down memory lane" stories...

Re: Gothic/Industrial Dance Music

-
Re: Gothic/Industrial Dance Music
Sat, January 12, 2008 - 9:08 AMdamned post didn't thread properly. I did the whole "tape from radio speaker" thing. Pure silliness.
Chuck, did you ever get your question answered? And what song(s) did you end up choosing?
Inquiring minds want to know (well, I do anyway).

Re: Gothic/Industrial Dance Music
Sat, January 12, 2008 - 12:37 PMBomb by Retrosic. Or anything by Retrosic, but you wanted names.
Yes it is sometimes hard to DJ large crowds that are not gethered under the pretense of music. Like school dances, cruise like you said, and other such stuff. But you really have to either side with the vast majority and tell them no way, or play that one song and realize that just because only three people are dancing and the others are looking bewildered or angry, you did not screw up DJing, just only the people who requested the song like it.
-
Re: Gothic/Industrial Dance Music
Sat, January 12, 2008 - 6:20 PMWhat I have done Kristina is print out all the names of songs and I've started iTune-ing them,,, from that I will pick out which ones will work...
Funnny thing is I had a number of the songs and didn't evenm know they were cool! LOL

Re: Gothic/Industrial Dance Music
Sun, January 13, 2008 - 10:08 AMI'm doing the same thing, but on Rhapsody. Unfortunately, a lot of the older ones aren't available. Makes me wish I still had a working turntable, cause I've got lots of 'em on vinyl in the garage.

Re: Gothic/Industrial Dance Music

Re: Gothic/Industrial Dance Music
Sun, January 20, 2008 - 9:10 AMAlso...
Wolfsheim "touch"
Juno Reactor "conga fury" -- more industrial and actually planning a routine to this now....
Phoenix -

Re: Gothic/Industrial Dance Music
Mon, January 21, 2008 - 10:31 AMI like that Juno Reactor piece too~ -

Re: Gothic/Industrial Dance Music
Tue, January 22, 2008 - 2:58 PMWell .. I am doing a solo at another event to Conga Fury. The Sultry Emberz (my troupe and I) are doing a number to Navaras -- I mixing a slow entrance from Intergallactic Caravan then it goes into Navaras....with Isis Wings. I have performed with wings for a number of years and now the troupe wants to do a group number ---- so they had me write it. We are excited....going to be quite striking if I must say so ... modestly hee hee. I am releasing an Isis Wings DVD this summer so we thought it was appropriate for us to put out a wings number together too! Of course 4 of us have to fit in a 10x14 space...should be interesting!
I love dancing to industrial and alternative....I often use music outside of the norm when I can. Of course restaurants and some shows, I stick to the mideastern more traditional stuff but it is the way out fun stuff that gets me going! The Emberz dance to Pump It by the Black Eyed Peas -- it is a favorite for many of those that come to our shows....not goth or traditional but a great song! hahaha...
Have a good week....those were just two songs I thought would be good for the goth/industrial list.....lots of great ideas.

Re: Gothic/Industrial Dance Music
Wed, January 23, 2008 - 2:47 AMChuck,
People seem to have suggested to you the least offensive Goth music out there- but I swear if you did play GOTH music on a CRUISE SHIP, the crowd would throw you overboard or you would get fired.

Re: Gothic/Industrial Dance Music
Wed, February 6, 2008 - 7:33 PMLOL Lulu..... yes but I might be playing more as my wife is getting Gothy on me! :-)

Re: Gothic/Industrial Dance Music
Thu, January 31, 2008 - 6:11 PMI haven't seen anyone mention them, but I recommend Abney Park. I would start with "The Wrong Side" "Dear Ophelia", "Black Day" and "The Wake".
I am planning on using the first track of The Wake (there is a Dream mix as the last track) on Taxidermy for my first solo performance.
