    That's a typical 80's set for me (off the top of the dome) I could go on for days...lol

    Another slick move is mixing Man Eater with Stevie Wonder's "Part Time Lover", it works like Buffalo Wings & Blue Cheese!!!

    Iron Mike,

    Let's keep these playlists going! My set list above features some slightly off-the-beaten track selections, expressing my familiarity with the usual suspects that we often play on the mobile DJ circuit and need to expand. Shrewd call on Part-Time Lover versus Maneater... same rhythm pattern. Hall & Oates is an all time favorite group of mine!

    If you would like an alternative to casually flirting with girls and trying to figure out the right thing to say...

    If you'd prefer to have women chase YOU, instead of spending your nights prowling around in noisy pubs and night clubs...

    Then I urge you to play this short video to uncover a amazing secret that might get you your very own harem of sexy women just 24 hours from now:
