“Let Me Clear My Throat” is possibly the best club crowd participation song of all time. Dj Kool used the 45 King’s “900 Number” break to create a high energy background for his 1 hit. This track is another one that just works. This is how we use it in our sets.

Oh Yeah by Foxy Brown featuring Spragga Benz is a classic high energy reggae/hiphop song from the early 2000’s and is used by both of us often in our sets. It really calls to be quick mixed because it’s chorus is so high energy that is looses a lot of steam as soon as the verse hits. In todays episode we each give you a peak into our playlists and give examples of what we sometimes play before and after “Oh Yeah” in our sets.
