Get ready music loving laxers – we’ve got DJ Peet Poillon in the house today!

We’ve asked Maverik’s Peet Poillon to play us a few of his favorite songs for pre-game, post-game and relaxing. Check out his choices + his explanations, and recommend a song to Peet in the comments section below!

PREGAME

Jay-Z – “First Song

I like to listen to this song pregame before I go out because it has a good beat and can get anybody ready to go out and perform like they still have to prove themselves.  Everytime I play I try to play like I am trying to reprove what I can do and that can be powerful.

Wiz Khalifa – “This Plane

Wiz is a Pittsburgh guy, and this song just gets anybody pumped up.  It’s relaxing with a good beat, and can get anybody focused.  I like to visualize before games and this song helps me visualize exactly what is going to happen on the field.

POST GAME

Michael Jackson – “Billie Jean

We used to listen to this tune after wins at UMBC in the locker room.  Gets you ready to go for the post game festivities.  I think it was a tradition set fourth by some of the guys that had graduated.  A team mate Jordan Pierce had a mean MJ dance.

Kanye West – “Touch the Sky

[fvplayer src=”https://youtube.com/watch?v=Ce7j9aVStwQ?fs=1″]

Fun tune after a big win.  Again gets me ready to go after the game.  Obviously really tired but ready to have some fun, this song gets the team juiced up.

RELAXING

MGMT – “Electric Feel

This is a good song for just relaxing and trying to get a few things done.  It is relaxing and just a fun beat.  I enjoy listening to this on the way to airport or on the plane.

Ground Up – “Nice to Meet You

{INSERT VIDEO}

Lighter song by a group out of Philadelphia.  Good tune, this group finds some cool beats in all of their songs.  Kind of poppy I enjoy listening to it.

The Strokes – “You only live once”

This a good song, pretty light.  I like a lot of the strokes songs.  It is an upbeat song with a rockish feel to it.
