M83 - Midnight City

So this has to be up there for party tune of 2011, right?

I have several friends who rate this album as their favourite of the year and it's a big thanks to this awesome tune.

The clip is shot like a short movie - which is always a winner for me, plus it features freaky little kids with super powers. What's not to like!

What's your party tune of the year?

Ween - Your Party

This tune goes out to two amazingly beautiful friends who I love ever so much.

On the weekend I watched them get married. It was an emotional ceremony, intimate, with so much love for everyone there.

Richie and Rach, you're simply stunning and Katie and I are so pleased that we could be there to share your special day.

We had the best time at your party, the wife and I thank you very much!

Arctic Monkeys - I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor

Stop making the eyes at me, and I'll stop making the eyes at you, what is is that surprises me is that I don't really want you to... ah, love it.

The year was 2006, the little lady and I had moved into the greatest share house of all time - The House Of Rock. Bodhi living in the spare room with Loretta and an assortment of drunk friends and sometimes randoms sprawled out over the lounge room floor every Friday and Saturday night.

It was the place to be every Friday night, sitting in the back yard around the table, smashing beers and cocktails like alcohol and livers were going out of fashion... and playing great tunes.

Every time this song would come on we'd all jump up from our chairs run to the hallway and dance like absolute fools, drinking what ever bottle of spirit was lying near by, and not stopping our little mosh group until the song was over.

We certainly didn't look good in our hallway dancefloor but by god were we having fun. So crank it up and dance like an absolute fool and have a shot for me!

May the house of rock live on...

Late Of The Pier - Space And The Woods

So Late Of The Pier aren't that massive in Australia but their album was one of my favourites last year, and this song was up in my top five singles. It's a great party tune, it's got the power to make anyone an instantly talented dancer, er well that's what I think anyway.

It's my favourite party tune of the last 12-months, and seeing as I'm flying back to SA for my bucks show this afternoon, I thought a party tune was in order. The film clip is a bit trippy and messed up, and I'm pretty sure that's exactly what my mind will look like this weekend. Yew, bring it on.

Bloc Party - Banquet

Oh what's that, your party is lame and no one wants to dance? Then chuck Bangquet on you fool, and the dancefloor will be filled in seconds.

I love how it's damn near impossible to keep your legs still while this song belts out of the speakers (no paraplegic jokes here please). With Kele about to bring out some solo stuff, and Russel joining Ash as part of their live touring band I thought that some old-school Bloc Party was in order.

Sure it's going back a few years now but still rates up there as one of my all time played songs on my iPod, actually correct that, it is the most played song on my iPod. Plus it's certainly one of Bloc Party's all time greatest tunes.

Play it loud!
