Trevor's 10 Essential DJ Bag Tunes

Check out these 10 songs which never ever leave my DJ record bag.

Ray Charles - I Got A Woman

This is probably the oldest recorded song that I play out and is obviously popular with everyone because of Kanye West sampling it for 'Goldigger'.

Chic - Chic Cheer

One of Nile Rodgers less well known tunes, but a dance floor filler with crowd noises in the recording

Pharrell Williams - Gust of Wind

Love Pharrell's latest album particularly this collaboration with Daft Punk, a timeless piece of electronica/soul.

De La Soul - Me, Myself and I

I have dug this one out of my crates recently and just can't stop playing it. Happy memories of Hip Hop's daisy age.

Stevie Wonder - All I Do

He is the greatest and this is a gorgeous slice of emotive dance music before the emergence of house music.

The Sounds of Blackness - Optimistic

I cannot think of a more uplifting song at this tempo. Here is a unique gospel club anthem.

Donell Jones - U Know What's Up

I think this is my favorite RnB club song ever. As soon as it's over I want to play it again.

Jamiroquai – Too Young To Die

One of the bands finest moments. Soulful acid jazz. I love watching people dance to this.

Jill Scott - Golden

I am desperate to include this on my next collection album! People exhale loudly when this intro kicks in.

Jean Knight - Mr Big Stuff

Simple, raw funky 70's soul groove. It's impossible not to nod your head to this jam from one of my favorite vocalists.
