Song Suggestion Needed - Please Help!

Hi, I'm a new supporter of the forum, and was wondering if any of you could help me. I'm a wedding videographer (with a strong background in music and audio production) and I'm looking for a song for a part for one of my upcoming wedding videos. If I had more time, I'd be able to sift through all my playlists a bit more and listen through each song, but I'm on a deadline and don't have much time to devote to this. I would be SO grateful to anyone who could help me.

 

The song (a version rearranged by me) will be played for 2-3 minutes toward the end of the film when the reception goes from being heartfelt (first dance, toasts, etc.) to a big party with lots of dancing and booze.

My requirements are:

-Dubstep song with a "drop" similar to Bangarang by Skrillex or Dillon Francis' remix of Daydreamer by Flux Pavillion (dancy/groovy as hell, not overly wub-wubby but still filthy, even non-dubsteppers can relate to it in small doses)
-Needs to have a "build" and/or "verse" that would be appropriate for the context described above (somewhat poppy/dancy/happy- the feel of Dillon Francis' Daydreamer remix is really almost exactly what I'm looking for, but there's just a few things that I can't work around in the arrangement, and the lyrics are a bit distracting)
-Positive, uplifting, maybe even romantic lyrics, or no lyrics. (This isn't a necessity if there are atleast parts with no lyrics that I can use)

You guys have no idea how much I would appreciate help on this, I have a vision, and I don't want to take the easy way out and use some boring pop song.

You guys are great, thanks. Should I bother waiting for a serious reply? The potential for humans to work together just seems to be silly to some people. And it blows my mind that you guys are all cool being part of a community that celebrates that perspective. Would anyone like to point me to a place "folk like me" are supposed to ask questions like the one I asked? I got pointed here by a friend (albeit he did say you all would "maybe" help), my deepest apologies for giving you 3 dollars and asking a silly question.

i think your time would be better spent sifting through your playlists than waiting around for replies on a forum tbh

I was serious :(

"waiting around for replies on a forum" is not exactly what i'm doing, in fact it's not an action, and it's not taking any of my time at all! currently, I, in fact, am sifting through playlists. But seriously, I'd pay money for a real song suggestion. I take music seriously, and yes there are plenty of songs that I could use, but they don't fit my vision and my gut tells me theyre not working. I also know there are a ton of songs that I would never have saved in a playlist because I don't personally like poppy songs at all and haven't been doing wedding videography for very long, so i thought that someone might know some songs off the top of their head, at least worth a try.

side note: i just found out my friend meant to send me to the WATMM subreddit, pretty bummed i payed a $3 cover charged to get into this high school of a forum.

a cursory look at the featured artists here indicates that this is probably not the best place to ask about brostep/EDM.

 

a better place to ask this question might be here and here. alternatively you could hunt for the right tune in your own playlists, which is what I'd do in the first instance. alternatively-alternatively you could just stick with one of the tunes you mentioned, or another well-known one you can think of which fits your requirements. Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites, or whatever it's called, from memory, seems like it'd work fine.

 

godspeed.

I'm actually glad I got to hear that Kanye song, that's one I'll save. But seriously, I guess I shouldn't have taken "we are THE music makers- YOUR electronic music RESOURCE" as a good sign. Maybe it should have been something a little less vague and universal. Like "we hate you- seriously."

a fuck nigga that's that shit i don't like

Bangarang isn't a dubstep track, it's glitch-hop/mid tempo. Are you looking for a strictly 140bpm banger? For those kinda tunes with positive lyrics (that mostly stay in the buildup/breakdowns), try these on for size.

First off, welcome.

For a new user to expect immediate assistance and is already done with the place after only a couple replies you might want to tone down a bit. The chances of a new user being taken seriously with this attitude aren't huge. Threads like these always start with some joke suggestions, that's not exclusive to this forum but to every other forum out there. Have a bit more patience, even though on a deadline :)

I think the best suggestions were given already (links to forums were people could help you out better and quicker seeing as this isn't really the best place for EDM/brostep stuff). Hope you'll find something good anyway (in chim's recommendations maybe), good luck!
