thought it might be fun to hear what genres/ bands/ artists people like to flow to....i'll start.
good, tight, dynamic live drumming is top of the list, no doubt.
California Guitar Trio. seriously, check em out, especially y'all guitar affecionados!
Red Hot Chili Peppers!
Thievery Corporation- especially their middle eastern sounding grooves
---middle eastern tabla music in general, but especially when combined with electronica
check out Anoushka Shankar, Ravi's daughter!
Massive Attack
TOOL-- though very difficult, complex rythmically, its almost transcendental.

Re: what's YOUR favorite music to spin poi to?
Mon, June 2, 2008 - 4:33 PMI've been working with Peter Gabriel lately. Trying to learn to convey an emotion and feeling in my spinning rather than being a technical spinner.
Sometimes depending on the mood though, Sonic Sidhe Tribe, Seether, DP, and Mushroomhead! :P

Re: what's YOUR favorite music to spin poi to?
Wed, June 4, 2008 - 8:12 AMPersonally I like Hip hop such as Ugly Duckling, DJ Format, Aspects, etc.
I also quite like Jazz, some Dr John, Herbie Hancock or John Coltrane.
Ska, reggae, what the hell, anything goes really for me, I pretty much like the laid back vibes though :) -

Re: what's YOUR favorite music to spin poi to?
Wed, June 11, 2008 - 8:55 AMPsychedelic Trance and Psy Ambient are my favorite genres of music to perform to. They complex layering of sound works wonders for beats/transitions/stalls.

Re: what's YOUR favorite music to spin poi to?
Mon, June 16, 2008 - 5:58 PMThis is a loaded question really I mean I like to spin to anything sometimes nothing. My all time favorite is live drum circles though I have to say hands down. After that I like most any trance or psytrance, also things like infected mushroom, Pendulum, VNV Nation, Daft Punk, Apoptygma Berzerk, Groove Coverage... and the list goes on. Two of my other things are during rain storms go spin in the rain or at the beach listening to the world around me. -
-
Re: what's YOUR favorite music to spin poi to?
Wed, June 25, 2008 - 7:51 PMwell i usually use daft punk, the beatles, cream, the misfits, justice (thanks lucas), and pretty much anything heard at a PLF party. -
-
Re: what's YOUR favorite music to spin poi to?
Wed, June 25, 2008 - 9:14 PMplf in the fucking house.
also.....
i really love the fact that vnv nation has been mentioned in this thread more than any other band....... sort of surprising really -
-
Re: what's YOUR favorite music to spin poi to?
Wed, June 25, 2008 - 9:22 PMkanaaal hired ninja dave to do shows, and i heard them while we were fasting/ busking before he ran away to amma chi, great music from what i've heard.
i can't beleive i didn't list any psy...
infected mushroom, ott, and shpongle for when i'm feeling normal, nice progressive psy that only people who truly suck wouldn't like.
for when i want long hours of zoned out deviance i go to www.touchsamadhi.com and dl their playlists, and also to the dark psy tribe.... but for bands for long zone out psy sessions... juno reactor, and astral projection ( <--- those for a little more oldschool and for darkness --->) penta, and baphomet engine.
justice is fun to spin to, pendulum, i get on my drum and bass kicks..... really love ben sage....... kinda transcendental d and b, my fire spin d and b playlist is a mix of pendulum, enduser, evol intent, ben sage, and black sun empire.
tool went without saying i thought......
another....
THIS MORN OMINA... download or buy anything by them asap le serpent blanc/le serpent rouge = favorite all time spin music.
other industrial = die form, front line assembly, nin (duh), vnv (duh ^2), and decoded feedback -

Re: what's YOUR favorite music to spin poi to?
Thu, June 26, 2008 - 9:03 AMglad i stumbled upon this thread. now i've got new ideas of things to spin to! gotta branch out from my old standards:
Lacuna Coil
Thievery Corp.
E.S. Posthumus
Mahala Rai Banda
VNV Nation
Juno Reactor
and occasionally the Skatalites ;) -
-
Re: what's YOUR favorite music to spin poi to?
Sat, June 28, 2008 - 6:34 PMMantra Girl, Gypsy Kings, any Ska or jungle beats, and I still love playing to the older 90's house when I'm feeling nostalgic. -
-
Re: what's YOUR favorite music to spin poi to?
Wed, July 2, 2008 - 12:56 PMThe hard... Tool, A perfect Circle, John 5 (Manson guitarist gone solo) and a slew of others.
The soft... Zero 7, Fiona Apple, Pooka
The odd... Mr Bungle, Ozric Tentacle
The techy... Hybrid, BT, edIT
Only pre-req, it must be progressive. Not like "progressive" house (not prog at ALL) but truly so. Melody, key changes, and superior drum fills are a must. Psy SUCKS! But Juno Reactor is cool. Give me a beat that changes every four measures, and I'm all over it. Stay the course for much beyond that, I'm bored and will stop til something else comes along. Booya.

Re: what's YOUR favorite music to spin poi to?
Fri, July 18, 2008 - 11:03 AMok so it's not really music, but it works for me.
i'm still a beginner, so any time i get a chance to spin...i take it. last night i was watching jesus christ superstar, and while i've seen it a million times and heard the music forever, i never thought of it as music to spin to. when "heaven on their minds" came on, i had to get up and start spinning. it's perfect. there are times when i could spin large circles and then down to small ones...big butterflies to small ones. i got a lot of practice in. it was great.
check it out when you have a minute. you'll hopefully see what i mean youtube.com/watch -
-
Re: what's YOUR favorite music to spin poi to?
Mon, July 28, 2008 - 1:58 PMwhatever boombox drum / mic/ didge combo I can find on the playa generally primes me up for an awesoem spin.
Didge and drum live, I also love trance with vocals- but that is probably just me.

Re: what's YOUR favorite music to spin poi to?
Mon, August 4, 2008 - 9:36 AMooh, i love hearing about what other people are grooving to! anyone up for a mixed CD exchange project? :D
lately i've been spinning to Girl Talk - really fun mash-up type DJ. he switches up beats and tempos, so it's good exercise for speed changes. my favorite is any sort of middle eastern/desi music, particularly with a strong bass line/beat and when fused with electronica.
usual favorites include:
Bassnectar (always, always Bassnectar. <3.)
Yelle
M.I.A.
Thievery Corp.
Gabriel & Dresden
Muse
Motion City Soundtrack
Jurassic 5
Blackstar
TTC
Tribe Called Quest
so much more...

Re: what's YOUR favorite music to spin poi to?
Wed, August 6, 2008 - 5:29 PMdude, how do you spin to JAZZ?! i mean, old school stuff like that i can see LISTENING to, but....
couldn't resist. we'll be spinning saturday at an event here at a music store our friends run. they had to give us a slot-between the bands!- because they always have jazz musicians!
i've decided that Jazz is to music what "tech" is to poi....
but hell yeah on industrial! NIN has some great spinning music (i've done a couple vids to them)
i've got Pangea around here somewhere... i should go put it on and see how it flows...

Wed, August 6, 2008 - 6:39 AMDjembe drumming live!! There is a group of spinners and drummers that get together in a park that overlooks the Hudson river in Albany NY, every tuesday. When the drummers and the poi spinning feed off of one another, it is an amazing experience!!!

P.S. I apologise in advance to anyone who does not understand this joke. I will not go through the trouble to explain it; either you will find it funny, or you won't, and probably the latter. So have a laugh, or not, and go fuck yourself. Cheerio.

Re: what's YOUR favorite music to spin poi to?
Mon, August 24, 2009 - 6:32 PMWhereas I love VNV Nation, Crux Shadows, and generally rhythmically sound, solid tunes. By this I mean things that are 4/4, 8/8 rhythms that you can easily count along to or cook up choreographies. I'm not much of a technical fire spinner. Ally + tying to do Triquertas = hilarious. I'm mostly a voi spinner so I love slow, passionate music. Right now I'm choreographing to "Yearning" by Raul Ferrando.
Check out the album Shimmer Sustain by Maduro for those of you who love Middle Eastern beats. -

Re: what's YOUR favorite music to spin poi to?
