With a little experimentation and technical know-how, you can actually create some cool medleys of pre-recorded tunes in Garageband or other music editing program. It's fun and helps achieve the variety that dance DJs sometime need.  

I'd be happy to share 1-2 that I've created if anyone wants one - just email me separately.

After 25 years of calling to only live music I started a teen dance which so far has a pretty limited budget. So I've found a bunch of album tracks we can dance to -- see below for the ones we use.

While I have a lot of great tracks I'd love to find more for variety, especially with 11-14 times through where I don't have as many. Any ideas for me?

Thanks,

Rick

Here's a spreadsheet showing the tracks we use (with tempos and number of times through):
