Hosting... Music selection

[stellarose]

What are some of your go to's for music selection when hosting parties? Dinner parties vs casual meet and greet parties?

I like to pick a radio station from an artist I like on iheart, pandora or Amazon prime. DH likes groove salad which is mostly instrumental kinda mellow kinda boppy.

We have rhapsody (now napster I guess) and my DH makes mixes, but he's very into music. Sometimes I will do the same as mrspez07, and just put on a pre-made mix or station too. One of my favorites is to do a playlist of the "Three Louis" Louis Prima, Louis Jordan, and Louis Armstrong.

I'm from Detroit, but I love Motown. It's a good mix of upbeat, soul, and just plain awesomeness.

I have some albums called Verve Remixed, there are about 6 of them. I put them in a play list on the iPod and let them go. They are old jazz artists that different people have remixed into house music. Really great for background music at parties, because people recognize the music, but not really. They have excellent beats and there are lots of versions of Nina Simone songs (she is my favorite).

I like Simon and Garfunkel radio on Pandora for a casual gtg. If it were more formal, I like the piano guys radio instead.

Hipster dinner party on Pandora.

H was a DJ back in the day, before kids and real jobs. LOL
So I mostly leave the music selection up to him.

We like Pandora- our go-to channels are red hot chili peppers- it's actually a very diverse channel and great for casual parties. For dinner parties we do Spanish guitar.

Totally forgot about this. Love the remix of Sinnerman. I'm digging through my CDs today.
