DJ's - what to play at midnight on New Years Eve??

[Deleted]

Anyone who has a DJ gig this Weds night, what do you plan to play as your first song of the new year, and do you try and "sync up" your set-list around 11:59pm to match the countdown from Times Square on the TV screens around the bar, right down to the second? I was looking at this: www.dmcdownload.com/product-detail/dj+essentials%3a+new+years+eve+1/megamixes/download/360 and there looks like some cool stuff, but I wasn't too impressed with another DMC issue I bought from their website, there was some lame New Years Eve countdown track on it that I would never play. Didn't X-Mix do one of these a few years back? Anyway, just curious what other DJ's are doing for their crowd on NYE calling attention to the countdown to midnight - either by stopping the music or song choice.

Have you looked at the Chemical Brothers "Midnight Madness"?

eh, I was kinda thinking something that the overwhelming majority of the crowd would know....that sounds kinda underground? What's the song like, I've never heard it?

The Metro Mix of Europe's "The Final C(o)untdown".

I will be playing the Club Countdown, of course, with the #1 track landing at midnight. Coming soon... BTW, DJ MichaelAngelo made the cut again this year.
