A live megamix of 60s classics: Otis Redding's "Sitting on the Dock of the Bay," Ben E. King's "Stand by Me," Aretha Franklin's "Respect," Four Tops' "Baby I Need Your Lovin'," and finally "The Flesh Failures (Let the Sunshine In)" by Rado, Kellogg, Moore and Company.

Remember these records were made with live drummers, who may go from 115 BPM to 118 BPM in one song. Imagine how tough early DJs had it to spin all night, especially in the disco era!

Equipment present: two Stanton c314 CD decks, one Gemini XL-DD50II turntable (this will be replaced soon!), and a Stanton smx201 mixer.

I started DJing again after a 10 year break a little over a month ago. Luckily, it seems to be like riding a bike for me.
