Amir Sulaiman "We are the Revolution"- My favorite memory was when I finally learned to float to this song. I'm also a big N.E.R.D. hooping fan.

I was going to hoop at the Shpongle show tomorrow night in Lawrence, but it's CANCELED!! I don't have any idea why yet, but I've been looking forward to this show for a while... I'm so bummed... Great hooping music--great environment for a live show!

my favorite album to hoop to is Micheal Franti's cd stay human. there is an awesome fusion of funk, R&B, and dance going on in this cd and it's super uplifting. and I love Balkan Beat box for more stylized hoop dancing.

Girltalk is perfect to hoop to! Also I love anything by Bong-Ra , & the tracks Get Fly and Modern Man's Hustle by Atmosphere. Really, anything that just makes me feel alive.

Love that gypsy music, especially Gogol Bordello and the Electric Gypsyland Compilations. My current favorite, and the first music i ever hooped to is Niwouinwouin. All of his music is available for download on his labels website. Also, GIRL TALK! And lots of FabricLive mixes. And Glissandro 70. Jelly Dancers by the Eels is amazing.

Lately I've just been listening to Michael Franti, Dr. Didj, Brent Lewis, Keller, and Rusted Root. I am so glad for this thread though because now I also have some new music that I need to look into. Can't wait to find some new hooping tunes! Thanks!

OMG, I'm feeling real out of touch here! With the exception of some of the disco stuff mentioned way earlier, I have never heard any of the music mentioned (at least not that I know of!). AAAAggggghhhh - I'm getting old!!! In the lack of any of the kind of music I have heard - I mentioned to my daughter the other day that I need to find some music to hoop to (been doing it without so far) and she puts on her Backstreet Boys CD! Uummmm, not quite what I was thinking of. Maybe I should dig some of the old 80's stuff and try it out while I research all that has been mentioned in this thread! I got alot of catching up to do!! LOL

Some of my faves lately: 'Dereye' - Toires featuring Irina mikhailova 'Comfortably Numb' and 'I Don't Feel Like Dancing' - Scissor Sisters 'Rose Rouge' - St. Germain 'What Else Is There' - Royksopp 'Processed Beats' - Kasabian 'Dream Machine' - Mark Farina (actually heard it first on this video http://youtube.com/watch?v=flsG1dcilng and then went hunting for the song) And a bunch of other stuff, including Badmarsh and Shri, Chemical Brothers, Massive Attack....

It's not new but yesterday I was listening to Fatboy Slim's "Halfway between the Gutter and the Stars" and after weeks of non-hooping that music got me to grab my ipod, speakers, and hoop and head up to the roof where I hooped for about half an hour till I was dripping with sweat.

This has really got me going lately: A-Trak: Dirty South Dance This dude at the age of 15 in 1997 won the DMC World DJ Championship, and he hasn't stopped some of it is poppy trendy, but its all really catchy. He even samples oompaloompas in a track called "I don't like to turn around" the album is awsome. The best part is that it has seamless segues into beat bumpin' mad scratchin' party rockin goodness. Its dance music on dirty southern terms. I couldn't find it on amazon (its still really new), but heres his myspace page: http://www.myspace.com/djatrak

Oh my god such great music choices! I currently love a collection of compilations : the Brazilian Beats series - goes from full on samba, to laztin jazz, latin house.. It's delicious! Other than that.. Gypsy ska insanity band called Sheelanagig, also Kenji Williams, and Nagual Sound Experiment.

Kaiya, OMG! BOTH "Mary Jane" and "Independent Women" are two of my all-time fave hooping songs!!! Bax loves "Independent Women," too, which is pretty damn cute, I gotta say. Did you see that post about Beyonce hooping?? *Sigh* I love her... Other hooping faves (most anything by these artists is great hooping): Masidyahu (Hasidic reggae/rap/rock--infuckingcredible) Cee-Lo Green and or any group involving him Musiq Soulchild Mary J. Blige Mos Def Erykah Badu and, of course, my brother's band, Hobex!

Oh, PS someone asked that music be available via ITunes. Everything on my list I bought through ITunes except for the Dirty Vegas Sound System. I got that used on Amazon. If you want any of the electric oasis music, search ITunes for Electic Oasis under Album.

Did anyone mention? Moloko (especially Fun for Me) Roisin Murphy- Ramamlama (Bang Bang) Juno Reactor - Navras, and Swamp Thing are my current favorites Boogie Heights - Halloween Theme House Mix Dirty Vegas Sound System - A Night at the Tables (any track except the first one. be careful, this CD averages 120+ beats a minute) Electric Oasis - The album is a compilation of middle eastern music fused with electronica and Kodo (traditional Japanese drumming mixed with World Beat sounds).

bump! kiss! Since I am now concentrating solely on my upper body moves, (cuz I've got the lower body down except for the kick-start which I'll get eventually;) I happened to be hooping one day at the beach when "Independent Women" by Destiny's Child came on Chris's ipod. There's a repeated line in the chorus that says "all the Independent Women throw your hands Up." It inspires some fantastic upper body machinations in me. :D My all time favorites (today, anyway) are "Mary Jane" by Rick James and "If I Can't Have You" by Yvonne Elliman hOOplove, kaiya

I don't know if this is the type of thing you're looking for, but I tried hooping to Dave Brubeck's Take Five, and I loved how they jazziness of it made me want to do a lot of experimental moves. Of course, I'm a newbie and don't have much of an experimental repertoir so I'd love to see a good hooper hoop to this!

You newbies did just fine :) My latest search for music involves finding songs that are almost stereotypical choreographed numbers, like "Fever" becomes a sexy sultry song, the James Bond theme or Pink Panther theme gets sneaky spy moves.. y'know. Any ideas welcome, in terms of a song that automatically makes you think of a particular genre and style of movement! X.

Newbie too...I'm not sure I did the thread right!! I would be interested in a hooping cd for sure! Right now I love hooping to DMB, Jay-Z, and the Spanish radio station. On a side note, I attempted blind hooping yesterday (in the kitchen) to Santana's "Black Magic Woman". 30 seconds later, the hoop flew off my neck and crashed into the counter full of breakables. Oops. =] I've decided that hooping blind should only be done outside. Thanks for all the new music suggestions. I'm excited to see what happens with the new grooves!! =] =] =] x

Well, like most everybody I have lots of "favourites" and SCI's "Round the Wheel" is one definately one of my hooper "anthems". But the song that makes me tingle the most when I hoop to it, and gets me really high is, "Sometimes" by Michael Franti and Spearhead. It's a song that I've danced to, jumped around to, and hooped to at Horning's Hideout, Quincy, Whistler and The Fabulous Commodore in Vancouver, with my closest family and my newest hooper friends. It's the song that will be my athem for this year when I turn 50 years old and it means a lot to me for so many reasons Rocking soulfull beats, sweet lyrics and super-positive vibes. Thank you Michael and thanks to all the freaky, happy and loving people that I have danced, hooped and zoomed with over the last few years. Here is the chorus: Sometimes ... I feel like I could do anything Sometimes ... I'm so alive Sometimes ....I feel like I could zoom across the sky Sometimes ... I wanna cry Here's the rest of the lyrics: http://www.freakyandfree.com/lyrics.php?lyric=sometimes and I've just been hooping and dancing around my living room to this, so the "sometimes" is NOW !! Thanks !! Caroleena, this was a great start to my day. (p.s. I'm gonna see Les Claypool at The Commodore tonight)

I was just thinking the same thing.. but I want to make it iTunes specific so I can actually BUY those individual songs to make my new hooping CD :) I'll go get it started if you haven't already.. X.

Can we refine this further? I'd like to hear some of these wonderful hooper's absolute favorite hooping song. It would be so cool to make a little cd that included songs like Basement Jaxx, Do your Thing and think, "Oh yeah! This is Xta's fav!" (Should this request be another thread? I'm afraid people will not revisit it here but I don't want to pollute the thread either.) I love Rusted Root and their song Ecstasy with the amazing drum solo that leads into it is one of my faves!

yay for disco :D My favoritist to hoop too is asian massive breaks and dubby tribal stuff. Groups like Androcell, Kaya Project, Ishq, Karsh Kale, Medival Pundits. Drums are awesome to hoop to also! Pretty much anything people belly dance too so I can pretend I am a belly dancer hehe. Also, psy trance, but with me I like doing anything to psy trance.

I started with SCI, too, in 1998 (thanks Ariana) under duress. I was just a shutterbug, but a demanding lil'gal made me embarass myself infront of the Mishawaka full of love puddle freaks. The rework of jean Luc Ponty's Mauna Bowa was always a departure point for me. But 'Round the Wheel was written to that spin, I think. SCI's San Jose is a fave when spinning to recorded music. En Fuego? possibly. NM is fun to spin to. So is Fareed Haque, oddly enough. but a truly powerful experience is hooping to KanNal. (tribal jam rock with a hip hop edge) Yonder can be fun, and I'll hoop to almost any live music. BAssnectar could be fun... and to the folks looking for some of these, www.archive.org

Great question, but HARD QUESTION!! To guarantee myself hooping bliss: Tribal Trance Tribal House Deep UK House dnb, especially DieselBoy and Kosheen World, esp. African and Brazilian Drumming and....drumroll please.... Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven...one night a few years ago inside this tiny bar in downtown LA, it was the last track of the night...and I fell into a huge pot of bliss with my hoop around me...I'm not sure I even touched the ground.

Thats so funny you said this/that now... I was just doing my saturday chores (yuk, but when you work full time ya gotta do it when you can) and thinking about this thread and wanted to come back in here and simply reply NEW MONSOON but hey, En Fuego Monsoon? that could be so hoooooooooootttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

If you do this, you'll thank me later. Find a recording of New Monsoon performing "Traveling Gypsies" (There's a really good one on archive.org from Dec 31, 2005 at The Bank in St. Petersburg--it's track 3) have as many lighters as you have wicks so you can light up your whole fire hoop at once, and fire hoop to this song. It's perfect.

This is a great topic! :) I am a fan of hooping to many styles of music - particularly live-tronica, funky jam-bands and funky or tribal house music. I have seen so many wonderful bands listed here and need to run outside and try hooping to some of them! Shpongle should be fun, as recomended by ultaviolet, but I'm gonna try "Are You Shpongled?" since that's my favorite album by them. I would also highly recommend hooping to: Tabla Beat Science - Live at Stern Grove Material - Hallucination Engine Dr. Didg - Serotonality St. Germain - Tourist The Motet - Music For Life DJ Logic - The Anomaly Tuatara The New Mastersounds Lettuce Mark Farina Derrick Carter Doc Martin Miguel Migs and probably my favorite - STS9 - Artifact Keep on hooping! :)

Definatley String Cheese and StS9, but a couple of new ones I'm trying (and holy crap I got worked!) was Nero and Lotus... super energetic and clean, like Blue Quarter ot Particle without the sketchiness.

SCI / Horning's '05 was my intro to the hoop. Have to do this I thought; soooooo beautiful and I'm fairly hyper-kinetic, so good match. So... DEFINITELY SCI. I've mostly been hooping to jam bands and electronica (psy-trance, breaks, tribal, world.) Specifically SCI, ALO, Tea Leaf Green, Lotus, Disco Biscuits, Midival Punditz, Boozoo Bajou, Reevu Rockers, Mafikizolo, Niyaz, Osiris Indriya, BassNectar, TICON, JAIA, and still exploring, which your picks will help fuel :-D

hey hoopstars! i just happened on to this thread, and it's funny, i did a gig in cabo this past week-end and happened to choose basement jaxx's "do your thing" which xta mentioned at the beginning of this thread, for my fire hoop number. it's really fun to hoop to. i love hooping to funky house, lots of drums, tablas, tribal (dj kramer has some great cd's) sometimes i can really get into hooping to esoteric, slow stuff (hable con ella from the soundtrack of the movie by the same name), theatrical sounding stuff. i can get into psy-trance occasionally, but most times it's too dark for me. i'm from south africa and there's some great mbaquanga and kwaito to hoop to - they have what i call ass-flipping beats (if you've ever seen south african tribal dancers, you'll know what i'm talking about - ;} ). there's a south african band called brothers of peace and i love hooping to them. also tkzee, but they're a little more disco. for a more middle-eastern flavor, ekova's "soft breeze and tsunami breaks" has some great songs to hoop to. when we were getting ready for the gig this past weekend, we put together the following list of possible songs to perform to (we were doing fans, fingers, poi and hoop, so not all songs were for hooping). Shiya Isceffe/Brothers Of Peace Touch The Sun/Original Soulboy Reach 4 Freedom (DF's Vocal Mix)/Marques Wyatt SFM/Basement Jaxx Do Your Thing/Basement Jaxx Firestarter/Prodigy Nectarios / Phoenix (Vigi & Nectarios Mix)/Hybrid phoenix/? Out Of Control/Chemical Brothers Emit/Collect (Rennie Pilgrem's Agatha Stomp)/Zero

I vote Keller William's "Phreaker at the Speaker" to be a close second for an anthem. But for me, "Round the Wheel" is tied with SCI's "Roll Over" for first! Signal Path and 'livetrance' reminded me to throw out Galactic for long-haired ravers, and Hamsa Lila for a middle-eastern beat. This is fun! Why would you think this would piss off musicians? Almost every band we've mentioned has their own tribe here!

Tribal Drums, but not just any-I want to hear like 50 of them at a strong powerful drum circle! So far I've only been able to capture that live. I wish I could find some recordings of this type of drumming. I did things tonight at the Drum circle that I had no idea I knew how to do. would never be able to recapture some of those moves without multiple drums. Where do I find this sort of music for practice?

Patric sums it up well for me: Hippie/Jam/improv/boogie/Mountain Festival Rock! It was The String Cheese Incident that started it all for me. When my buddy, Garth, told me that there was a hula-hooping scene around SCI I "got it" straight away. Goofy fun and giggles, outside in the sunshine, to live music. I staight away vowed to become a hooper. So my music for hooping starts with SCI. Then the other "acoustic jambands" Railroad Earth, New Monsoon, Donna The Buffalo. On the funky side: The Codetalkers; John McLeary and The Absolute Gentlemen; Trey Anastasio. On the psycdedelic side: Sound Tribe Sector 9; Themasses. Also, the soundtrack from "Emelie" .... so beautifull and flowing for hooping to. Talking Heads would be great for sure (so where are my TH cds ???). And I will end by saying that, for me, SCI's song "Round The Wheel" (often referred to as "waiting for the snow to fall" is the undisputed Hoopers' Anthem !!!! ..... but then, I'm a cheesehead .......... any comments re: hoopers anthem ????? Great thread y'all.Thanks! Brendan in Vancouver.

i see we have a pretty good split here between DJ junkies and jamband fans.... since most of my hooping buddies around here in SF are breaks fans, we end up hooping to that a lot and of course i dig it. i also like really, really fast electronica like jungle and, as someone else said, indian/eastern tabla and asian electronica. disco funk is also a favorite and regular funk as well. sometimes that slower funk rhythm is a welcome change of hooping pace from the drumNbass/breaks vibe, and i can really get my ass into it. ;) at home, when no one's looking, i also like to hoop to cheesey 80s dance music and remixes as sort of an 80s style aerobics workout.

Faithless, NIN (cuz its all heavy and intense) and tribal drummy stuff like tabla beat science. Psy trance is fun when you're feeling particularly AWAKE and bouncy:)

Drums and Tuba! Medeski Martin and Wood, yonder mountain, and of course anything drums

Depends on my mood... String cheese, as Patric said, always. Smokin' bluegrass, intense drums, anything funky! I love to slow groove to Nina Simone...Her Feeling Good is a fav....

Hippie/Jam/improv/boogie/Mountain Festival Rock! To make it more confusing, aslo called Newgrass or Spacegrass! The playlist for all my wife's hoop workshops this spring included: String Cheese Incident (the gawdfathers of hoop) New Monsoon and Railroad Earth, Hightailers & Carolyn Wonderland, DRUM, Canvas, Spoonfed Tribe, Sound Tribe Sector 9 and The Disco Biscuits! And some classic Reggae and Jamaican Dancehall for good measure. She also uses certain Ani DiFranco's, but she is a genre all her own

That sounds like a good party theme - hooping to disco funk =)

great question! I love breaks, tribal progressive and tech house as long as it is quality I love it.. I even dig some good psy-trance once in a while.. My newest favorite song to hoop to is on Becks new album "guerro" I think it is track 7... very funky and fun! hoopn' n smiln' Anah

That message about drumming reminded me, that I wanted to ask y'all this! What music do you put on to hoop to.. which is your absolute most favorite song/artist/album? Who makes you smile even more than a hoop alone? For me: Basement Jaxx "Do Your Thing" - a bouncy, jazzy, funky explosion of Joy :) and for You? X.
