I'll be doing my first ever djing at a party in a few weeks and need a few suggestions of some good "danceable" songs that arent too long. Any ideas? I want to keep the dancing active and don't want to piss off anyone by playing trance :P but I definitely don't want to play too much mainstream. I would appreciate more recently released songs too if at all possible. Thanks for the help.

I'll be on the east coast in the US. Also I didn't really mention, I would like to play techno, house, etc. No rap or country or anything like that. Thanks.

A good DJ brings a bit of everything, then gauges his audience and see what their vibing too. Don't be that foreign DJ Techno guy, Techno Trance isn't as big here as it is in Europe. Better bring some hip hop. Remember, nobody likes hearing songs they've never heard before. I'm been around this DJ scene for 15 years. You play what other people like, not what you like and when people are partying and dancing, they like to hear songs they are familiar with.
Don't be that overllly hip guy that forces music on people.

Thanks for the replies. I apologize - I should have provided more details. I'll be djing for an actual "techno" or "rave" whatever you want to call it party. Thats why no rap, country, hip hop, etc. would be played (unless there are good dance remixes). I know I should play what the audience wants to hear but I really don't want to play cascada and sandstorm all night if you can understand :P Thanks for the help though!

Can't believe that stuff is still going, I used to spin that back in the mid to late 90's when I got my 1210's. Still got bloody hundreds of 12"'s in my mums loft, lol
Tell me something, is Slipmat, Sy and DJ Brisk still doing the rounds.
Where abouts are you from Carl?

the issue i see is most 'raves' are centered around the dj and his techniques so just 'playing songs' is not the idea the best beat is to come up with a routine. btw i play hiphop at a lot of raves thats were a lot oif the breakers go.
