Throwing a cocktail party this holiday?
DJ Rick Naples of the Amber Room in Nashua says your party play list depends on the crowd you are inviting. His tip is to log onto FM radio station Kiss 108's Web site and peruse through their top 30 songs. This is where you can get a mix of everything from Justin Timberlake to Maroon 5 to Alicia Keys.
They're the station that plays everything," said Naples, "Their rotation is a great mix that can please a crowd."
DJ Terry Moran, who spins every where from Las Vegas to The Brewery Exchange in Lowell says "you want to impress more than you want to educate" your cocktail party guests. He advises choosing well-known, but not popular jams from all genres and time frames, then mixing in a holiday tune every four or five songs.
