The Running in Heels team have selected the tracks that will guarantee you’ll get everyone dancing at your house party if the atmosphere dies!The playlist is available to listen to on Spotify or watch the videos on Youtube.

Valerie – Amy Winehouse & Mark Ronson

Having watched the video to this tune about a gazillion times during my gymming-five-days-per-week stage, I’ve now been firmly indoctrinated and feel that it’s completely acceptable to sing along loudly and shamelessly, karaoke-stylee every time it’s on. And having done it many a time, I believe that my co-party-pals should fully agree!

Hey Ya! – Outkast

Upbeat and everyone knows the lyrics. From the very beginning your head just can’t help but nod along!

Alphabeat – Fascination

It’s impossible not to dance to tunes by these chirpy Danes, come on now FAS-CIN-A-TION!

Chosen by Alex

I Gotta Feeling – Black Eyed Peas

Guaranteed to get any party jumping and create some great memories.

Daft Punk is playing in my house – LCD Soundsystem

The drums, the claps, the highhat,  the grainy sexy vocals – you can’t help swing a hip, wiggle a shoulderpad, noddy-dog along or shuffle a foot to the left, a foot to the right. And if this isn’t enough kids, there is a cowbell musical interlude. Yes, yes I said it – a COWBELL SOLO. Amazing.

Bucky Done Gun – M.I.A

You’ll probably have no idea what she’s singing about, but when it sounds this good, who cares! Also samples the horn section from ‘Gonna Fly Now’, the theme song from Rocky

Dancing Shoes – Arctic Monkeys

“Get on your dancing shoes, you sexy little swine!” With these words, the Monkeys make anyone feel like a groover. The evidence: that funky baseline and the fact that even Whitney Houston/Cyndi Lauper-loving friends have gotten down.

All These Things That I’ve Done – The Killers

A nostalgic song that prefers to rock out than to weep, lets everyone join in the fun with its anthem-like chorus “I got soul, but I’m not a soldier”, which builds up from a solo guitar to an explosion of screaming female choir singers

Chosen by Caitlin

Shoot to Thrill – AC/DC

Their tunes would wake up the dead. Old school rock with dirty, mean catchy riffs. Weak of heart stay away!

Chosen by Francesca

Deep Purple – Smoke on the Water

Get out the air-guitars and rock out to this classic!

Jermaine Stewart – We Don’t Have To Take Our Clothes Off

So good that Gym Class Heroes rehashed it for their sex song, this 80s disco banger has been lauded as a gay anthem, but pigeon-holing it narrows its universal appeal. If you like to party then the R&B crossovers make it an absolute winner. Never fails to get anyone boogying.

Dizzee Rascal – Bubbles

I have been playing Dizzee on repeat on my i-pod, espcially after his most recent gig in Berlin. Not only does this track serve you up his classic catchy melodies, infectious lyrical wizadry, dirty mix of grime and hip hop, but it’s pretty hard not to get your booty shakin’ to the frantic, fuzzy bassline.

Chosen by Bassma

Hues Corporation – Rock The Boat

I am very aware I’m putting my reputation on the train track but come on… This is a water-tight choice. If the boat’s sinking, slam this record on and get your guests to jump straight back in.

Chosen by Plum

Groove Armada – Superstylin’

This tune will rouse even the most fatigued reveller. Chilled enough not to dominate the atmosphere but the pulsing, sexy beats keep you pushing through ’til morning.

Chosen by Jo

Kids – MGMT

Bound to be bring a smile to even the biggest party pooper’s face. The infectious chorus tells your guests to enjoy themselves and how could they not after this track?

Chosen by Emma

Girls & Boys – Blur

This dance-floor anthem, hailing from the irrepressible 90′s Britpop era, is an infectious, foot stomping tune, with a chorus that everyone can’t help but (loudly) sing along too!

Phantom II (Soulwax Remix) – Justice

This is one to pop on sneakily – as the beats and synth build heads will begin to nod and hips sway…Understated and oh so cool, the best bit comes around the four minute mark when it seems to have come to an end, but OH NO, it only gets better, gradually hitting a massive climax of strings, synth, drums and without a doubt, lots of hands in the air.

Chosen by Alice

Everybody – Backstreet Boys (Headshot Boyz) Remix

I’m a sucker for a remix and this one is party perfection if only for the amusement value of an electro Backstreet Boys cover. Plus it’s just so danceable… The insistent electro beat combined with the lyrics that you can’t forget (even if you want to) will get everyone moving, or dare I say, rocking their body?!

Chosen by Jenny

Can You Feel It? – The Jackson 5

Pop at its most perfect. It’s quite amazing that Jacko got a message about tolerance and world peace across in such a foot-tapping, hand-clapping anthem. If your party is veering off course, this track is guaranteed to get the show back on the road.
