DJ Elitt has been spinning House, Electro and Progressive for more than a decade and currently holds a residency at Alibi Dance Lounge (1523 Market St.), where you can catch him every Friday and Saturday. Check out his schedule online at myspace.com/djelitt and djelitt.com. Right now, these are his three top cuts:

* Sharam - Get Wild

"This is the No. 1 song! This beat is amazing! The first minute is critical, you don't know what is coming but when the beat drops you get the goosebumps. The best part of the song is when the beat stops and you can only hear the lyrics. This song not only gets the crowd moving but everyone starts singing to it without knowing the words. As much as I enjoy listening to it, I enjoy playing it and watching the people go crazy! This song is a great introduction to all those who are not house music lovers yet!"

* Shakedown - At Night (dubfire remix)

"This song has a distinct sound to it. If you hear it once you will want to hear it again and again. What I like about this song is the change of the beat. About five minutes into the song the change happens; piano and lyris work great together, song takes on a different turn. This one is a crowd mover as well. The lyrics are from the '90s and each year a different remix comes out. However, this remix is the best one so far. I have played a lot of those remixes in the past but hands down this is the best one!"

* D.O.N.S - San Francisco (dbn remix)

"This beat is quite unusual and that is why this song is in my top three. D.O.N.S. does a great job at changing the beat and incorporating the lyrics. When the beat drops you are waiting attentively to what will happen next and D.O.N.S. keeps you listening. I love it, so the crowd loves it, too. This song is unique and will definitely get everyone dancing."
