1. Currently, my favorite house mix is 3LAU’s “HAUS #20 (Pregame 2014).” This is a great mashup of popular songs put to an amazing background, by one of my favorite DJs. In general, 3LAU never fails to produce great party mixes so check him out on YouTube for more songs!
2. “DJ Turn it Up” by Yellow Claw is another song I can’t stop listening to right now. Yellow Claw also has many other songs that are worth checking out.
3. “Boy Oh Boy (TWRK Remix)” by Diplo & GTA is a new mix and is perfect to get the party started. It is called the “TWRK Remix” for a reason! Push play on this song and everyone will be up and moving in no time.
4. A fun twist on one of everyone’s old favorites, “Toxic” by Britney Spears, is DJ Bruno’s Toxic Remix. This song will be sure to get everyone singing, dancing, and reminiscing.
5. An absolute necessity for all party playlists is a song I’m sure you’ll know, “Turn Down For What” by DJ Snake & Lil Jon.
6. “Bounce It” by Juicy J feat. Wale and Trey Songz is a song with more of a trap beat that’s great for a room packed full of people. Everyone will start singing along and the dancing will ensue.
7. “Turn Around” by Zeds Dead and Major Lazer feat. Elephant Man is a song that does not receive enough attention. There’s just something about the beat of this song that gets me excited to start partying. Check it out and show your friends!
8. A new Iggy Azalea song that’s fun for the pregame is “Fancy” feat. Charli XCX. It has a catchy hook and, plus, who doesn’t want to listen to Iggy?
9. A remix of everyone’s favorite “Gas Pedal” by Sage the Gemini called “Gas Pedal Play” is worth adding to your playlist. It combines the beat of David Banner’s “Play” with “Gas Pedal.” This song was put together by D.veloped, which is a group of producers/DJs who have put together a ton of great mashups.
10. For number ten I have to add a classic Tiesto song to the mix, “Maximal Crazy.” You can’t have a party with no Tiesto! “Maximal Crazy” never fails to pump up the party, the pregame, or even a small get together with friends.
