When it comes to house parties, the crew here at Mixmag like to think we have a pretty decent selection of tracks that are guaranteed to get your party popping.

Now, we've teamed up with Libratone to offer you the chance to win your very own house party, with a class DJ coming along to get behind the decks and soundtrack your night. We're also throwing in pizza and a cleaner for the day after.

All you need to do is upload your best snaps to Instagram with the hashtag #lostinthebeat to be in with a shot. But move quick- there's only 48 hours left to enter.

While you're Instagramming, take a listen to some tracks that are bound to get you in the mood for a house party.

Starting off with a new one, 'Sweet' by Marquis Hawkes is one of our favourite cuts this year. Bouncy, fun and packing a whole lotta' groove, this'll warm things up real nice.

DJ Haus always hits the sweet spot and this one is full of energy and enough spank to get your party whipped up into a frenzy. YAASSS.

The Bicep boys know exactly how to make a banger, it's in their blood. This year has been one of their biggest yet and although 'Just' has been killing it up and down the country, their edit of 'Gotta Let You Go' by Dominica is absolute gold. If you can get your hands on it, drop it.

Undoubtedly one of the tracks of the year, this Innervisions cruiser from Frankey & Sandrino has everything you'd want in a track. Save this one until the end of the night, if you've got a crowd, they'll be doing a Dixon hand-piano in no time.

When it comes to spanky bangers, DJ Deeon is your go-to guy. '2 B Free' saw a re-release on Numbers this year and the feel-good cut found a new lease of life during festival season. Want to bring Glasto to your living room? This is a good place to start.

Staying on a Dance Mania tip, 'Get Get Down' by Paul Johnson is, dare we say it, the best party tune of all time. Play it at the start, play it in the middle, play it at the end. Once those pianos come rushing in alongside those classic vocals, your party is only going one way, into meltdown.

One of the Ibiza big boys here, why not bring a bit of the Balearic Isles to your rave with Technasia and Green Velvet's summer smash. Big chunky basslines and cheeky guitar twangs, if you ride the filter on this one, you're going to see results.

From one sugar to another, this is another absolute CLASSIC. Armand Van Helden's timeless remix of 'Spin Spin Sugar' by Sneaker Pimps is a blast from the past that your party will appreciate. What's not to like about a room full of people chanting 'Spin Spin Sugar', nothing that's what.

One of the most beautiful tracks of the year, DJ Koze is the king of serene and 'XTC' may well be the best track to end your party on. A real crowd-pleaser and a cut that should have your guests hugging and potentially crying tears of joy.

Now we've seen and heard 'French Kiss' by Lil Louis get dropped at a house party. It was 6am, the sun was coming through the windows and everyone was tired. As soon as we heard this trickle in on the system, the vibe picked up. Five minutes in and everyone in the room was cheering and dancing on the sofa. This is your secret weapon, use it wisely.

Get your own house party. Upload your snaps to Instagram with the hashtag #lostinthebeat. Simple.
